Episode 284: Joining Kickstarter

The TD Gaming Podcast has started its Kickstarter fundraising, and really, even if every listener donated a few dollars, the project will get funded.

This episode is a bit short thanks to Dan having to skip this week and Jordan and Paul’s busy schedules. Don’t worry, this is only a one time thing, and a full length podcast will be recorded next week.

In any case, this week’s news includes:

  • Avellone: Kickstarter still in its infancy
  • PAX Australia tix now on sale
  • CD Projekt RED’s new licensed sci-fi RPG officially titled Cyberpunk 2077

This week’s Question of the Week, “What is your favorite convention to attend?”

  1. @Avellone: Kickstarter still in its infancy
    Not sure if backers will become more wary when a high profile project doesn’t make it. When somebody wants something really bad, they’re willing to ignore any kind of risks.
    Now I’m not going to quote Michio Kaku however, since that would imply that most projects are trying to just rip people off, and I don’t think that’s true.

    @CD Projekt RED’s new licensed sci-fi RPG officially titled Cyberpunk 2077
    … really? No better title than that?
    But again, the Witcher games were well received, so who knows …

    @Zombie Nation – well, it was a severed flying giant head, so I guess you can count the character as a zombie.

    @QOTW: dunno, really. I’m not into conferences that much, never been to one, so meh …

  2. I’m very sorry, but I won’t be able to donate to your Kickstarter because I don’t have a credit card, and I don’t think my parents will accept “giving strangers money” as a valid reason for using theirs.

    @QOTW: Being in such a small country, I could never attend such conventions.

  3. I dont have much to contribute this week, i’ve been studying a f*cking lot

    @QOTW:
    yeah… Brasil doesn’t have many gaming conventions, and those we have are in Sao Paulo, wich is far far away from my house. it looks fun see people getting toys, shirts and exclusive stuff for free. i’d like to go to a big one in US some year… when i win the lottery :3

Yet Another PSP Re-Design?Yet Another PSP Re-Design?

It seems as if this is the third time, but SCEE has announced a new PSP design with eight different bundles being offered. This fall we should see the PSP-3000, which sounds much like a fake Acme cartoon toy, but it’s for reals.

This version will have a built-in microphone, a redesigned (brighter) LCD screen with out-of-the-box Skype abilities. The Swiss Army knife of hand-helds will keep the current outward design with inner tweaks and each bundle will cause 199 Euro.

Is the market really looking for a re-design with these features or is this Sony’s way of competing with “color DS lite” designs. Nintendo re-releases the same product with brighter colors a few years after its release while Sony seems to push a few new hardware features or enhancements.

The end result, DS still beats all expectations in unit sales month after month.

(Thanks, Kotaku)
