Is there co-op? There are enough goodjers that actually have the game. If they wanted it or not...

I would however <3 an expose on the implosion of Brad Wardell and the sh*tpile that was Elemental.

This is a great idea.

I'm in, $25 sent.

Jesus wept.

Payment sent.

So if we hit $1000 we get to grab two spots?

Niiiice.

I just sent in $25. Let's get another story!

It feels good knowing that 12% of all agony Rabbit feels right now is my doing.

$25 sent.

You know, there just aren't enough in-depth articles about the rise of free to play MMOs that focus on fashion and use DDR game mechanics...

The money is still flowing in - the roster of heroes continues to grow:

ADDED HEROES
Dimmerswitch
Certis
clever id
yellek
quintinstone
m0nk3yboy
cod
Aristophan

We're now $245 away from taking the 2nd story... a lowly $245.

We're sitting a paltry Two Hundred Fourty-Five US samolians from achieving story #2.

I'm in when I get home tonight.

I cross-posted this in the video game deals thread, but I thought it was relevant here as well.

The new Groupee Build-A-Bundle has a week to go and has Sparkle Ponies the game as one of the optional purchases, and I believe every purchase comes with a copy of Sparkle Ponies the soundtrack. Just thought you'd like to know...

What are the system requirements? Wondering if I can run this on my MacBook Air to see what Rabbit is going through.

I got Demyx playing it on her Air, you (and Rabbit) should be fine.

That should help soften the suffering.

I think we'll stand a better chance of closing out article #2 pleding (if that's our intent) by coming up with an article for him to write. Then people can rally around that topic.

I advocate giving him something actually not torturous, but I'm just the escrow guy and you all are the heroes.

Has there been a decision on what the other article will be? I'd love for Julian to have a focus to write about something in way that no one else is, partially because he is such a gifted writer. Another suggestion, since he seemed to have so little love for the EverQuest expansion idea- Eve online. That's a rich sources for finding stories it seems.

Evony?

Epic Mickey 2 was also suggested above, and I'll re-iterate that.

I'm fine with anything, it's not like I'm going to take my ball and go home. While not specific game ideas, other ideas would be something in the spirit of '98 week or the recent In Praise of Lando articles.

Could give him the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD collection that was just announced, except there's no NA release date yet. I'm sure he'll love the card based battle system of Re: Chain of Memories HD

In all seriousness, the Bioshock article Rabbit mentioned sounded really cool.

I didn't know that existed yet. Bag that! I GET THAT ONE!

Maybe, given the pain we have inflicted on our dear Rabbit with Sparkle Ponies, we allow him the pleasure of selecting his 'own' source material for the second slot?

Kind of like his dream article, and we help fund that dream...

You know, just to even things out kharmically.

I don't think that's gonna get it done. I think he's going to need to indulge in the Smoking of the Magic Crystals to get through this.

"Yup, that 2012 Donation Drive was nothing if not a resounding success! We ended up making Julian table-saw off his fingers, right before we drove him to mouth-froth and madness with Sparkle Ponies. Realizing the folly of our ways, we then did it all again, turning him into an alcoholic and a meth fiend. Shalam baskur!"

Hedge, just a quick question for you.

I don't want to burden you with any additional logistic shenanigans, so if this was our primary source of donation for the drive, do we still email Elysium to let him know the amount, etc so we get our forum icons updated, or are you handling that also?

I'm not actually asking you to do this for us, I just want to make sure I won't be doubling up on the emails he'll receive if you've already got that system in place.
