I just received an email informing me that "the UN Refugee Agency is working to relieve a global crisis" and that I could help by donating to the Kickstarter that was started to benefit Syrian refugees.

What do you think of that?  :-\
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Stick with established relief agencies.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Dare I ask what the stretch goals are?

A free weekend in/with Lesbos.

I'll kick in for $100,000 in Scott Walker for President bumper stickers. Hey, that's the kind of guy I am.

Ok. I checked it out.  It is different from all Kickstarter campaigns

1) Run by Kickstarter themselves
2) No goals
3) Cards automatically charged
4)  Not recorded as campaign backing

So basically they're using the Kickstarter platform and user base to get donations.

What happened to the Kickstarter to fund Starfury's long awaited Panthers in the Fog review?

Star spent all the money on strong whiskey and weak women. Or maybe the other way around.

fuck em....
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
