I think someone said the max you can pledge is $10k anyways, so if Sony wanted to drop 40 mil into Kickstarter, they'd need to start making new accounts now :)

I just got an acquaintance of me to pledge $60 for Shenmue III. Someone who isn't into Shenmue or video games for that matter at all. He didn't feel this was a good thing in any way but I still convinced him. For Shenmue III!

I'll only feel relief about the numbers when the countdown ends. With so much haters out there, expect plenty of troll pledges till the end.

Yeah!!!! \:D/

The rythm right now is 1 million every minute and we are trending now toward 6.25 million. If we can keep the pace and increase it a little bit with a final crazy rush, we could even reach the 6.5 million stretch goal! =D>

We are now the 7th most funded project on Kickstarter! Veronica Mars is now behind us!

The next target is Neil Young's Pono, with 6 225 354 $. The good news is that we are trending toward this amount!

I didn't get any beers in the end, due to being exhausted and too lazy to leave the house. BUT I do have some Fanta in the fridge.... :D
