Welp, that one day of the year that always reminds me that I'm mortal happened. The fact that I just turned a quarter-century old doesn't help much either. Oh well. I had a nice little birthday week. For one, I got myself the new Tomb Raider game on Launch day. The game itself didn't freeze, but Lara did while salvaging her kill. Dead guy seems to bee enjoying it. ...Didn't quite expect her tomb raiding to go as far as necrophilia :P
Other than this little snafu, HOLY CRAP, THIS GAME IS AMAZING! It's as if the old TR had a hot steaming threesome with Uncharted and Arkham Asylum, and raised their love child on Skull Island! There are things I like about Uncharted better, such as the script, and secondary characters, but it's all worth playing for Lara herself, especially the island the game takes place in. It is so detailed, and beautifully destroyed. It took me a couple days to beat, and I'm already on my second playthrough, while still looking for all the extra goodies.
Regarding the "A Tiger's Last Song" Kickstarter, yes, it didn't go through, and we didn't grasp many pledges for several reasons. The main reason probably being the $80,000 goal. It's a big, but not an unreasonable goal for a graphic novel of this scale. It needs a lot of man hours, equipment, licesnsing, printing... plus taxes and Kickstarter's 5% claim that needs to be taken into consideration. But fret not, we won't give up. We believe in this project way too much to simply give it up. We will be re-launching the project. Only this time, we'll be doing "A Tiger's Last Song" episodically, allowing us to significantly reduce our budget. We expect to come back in less than a month.
