Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

Fat chance they will lose that business. There are over a million people in those cities. They are more likely to raise costs or eat the fee if they lose the lawsuit, just to keep the business strong, but my guess is that this will end shortly after the lawyers start talking.

Assuming they can actually afford to build at a time where they are about to run out of money... Will this drive-in still offer the same shitty picture and crackly monaural audio from an outdoor speaker? How about the nasty bathrooms off the side of a cinder block projection/concession shack? They sucked and almost everyone stopped going once VHS rentals took off. They died for a reason. Many reasons, that all point to how crappy they were. My memory of drive-in theaters is purely nostalgic and I'm happy to keep them there. I go to the theater because I want a sensory experience I can't get at home. Massive screens, digital projection, deep bass, and surround sound at a level I could never recreate at home.
