In case you fellas don't think this is a project is worth donating a neo-shekel to, consider the following email I sent with the subject "TMRoTnn:EfN7-RoC:TOGofM-C2ofHBSG" the day this was announced saying

quote:

I have been dreaming of this day. If I had a house to mortgage, I'd do it so I could pledge a billion neo-shekels to the kickstarter. I love you guys. Life is now worth living again.

As I always say to my professional contacts: Slam with the best or jam with the rest,
my name

I didn't expect a reply but a few days later I got one

quote:

Mystical greetings,


Thank you for the encouragement! We are very, very excited about this game and are blown away by the reaction it's getting. We're a little disappointed that you don't have a house to mortgage, but we've talked about it and come up with a list of things you could do to come up with money:


1. Sell an organ - Selling organs is a fun and safe way to get money quick. Google "organ selling" or consult your nearest organ harvester for more information. Tip: sell an organ you have multiples of.


2. Organized crime - Gangs and the mafia are always looking for more recruits and pay great! This is an ideal career path if you love crime.


3. Grandma - Grandma loves you and just wants the best for you. Make up a story about your car breaking down, which prevents you from getting to work, and ask her for money. If she says no, call again, tell her you're with the IRS and demand her social security number.


4. Become a rock star - I'm not sure how to do this, but if you become a rock star you could probably make millions.


These are just a few fun and creative ways to make money to give to us. I'm sure you can come up with a few on your own too. Just give it a try!


Seriously, thanks for your interest in the game. It makes us really happy to hear how excited people are for this game.


Thank you,
The ToG Rat

These guys own. Give them all your monies. We can't save them from the cyberpocalypse, but perhaps we can save ourselves if we pledge enough.

Barkley obviously died in the Necron 5 explosion, so of course he won't be in this game. Let's just accept it and move on.

He survived one Chaos Dunk already, you know. The one he did himself, before Neo New York was just New York. He can survive the Necron 5 one.

Right, but it still has at least half of Barkley's name on it and presumably he will be mentioned in it at some point.

As an armchair amateur lawyer who has been in contact with Tales of Game's I can assure you that they are well within their legal rights and are in no danger of being slammed with a lawsuit from Charles Barkley.

Note that the previous sentence may have some inaccuracies due to me drinking myself happy that the pledge amount is almost up to fifty grand.

This is true of all Japanese humor. It is not crass and disrespectful like western fauxtainers. Fauxtainers are not funny, they are not amusing, they are annoying and stupid like a a person arguing against the superiority of Japanese culture. Japanese humor tells a story with a deep meaning that leaves the audience with a sense of awe and knowing. It is depressing that so many people do not know this and it speaks volumes about our education system.

Listen, when you're performing a cyberpocalypse-causing Chaos Dunk, it's okay to skirt the rules. Barkley had to do it, so the refs turned a blind eye. The same is true with Jensen's imitation.

Don't give up the ghost too soon. It's very common for Kickstarter projects to get a big push just before closing, especially if new websites report on them towards the end of the project.

Obsidian had a huge late push but they were streaming some good poo poo during the final hours. Tales of Game's could do something similar but Barkley 2 might be too canon for a big party to end the Kickstarter.

I love how two of my three favorite things made it into that article. The turkey feather, and the quote from Barkley about ghosts in the Spalding factory. I wish the Incan Gold story made it there though.

Its awesome you guys got a multi-page article though. And all started from a free "weird RPG" made in 2008 that was very non serious but you took very seriously (as said in the article.) Way to go dude's!

I don't want to kill myself when I tell people how much I appreciate that they've given money to Barkley 2. Right now I'm mostly concerned that people will write the game off because it's not a rehash of Barkley 1. I mean, I'm completely happy with the game, I'm just concerned that because it's not basketball wackiness 24/7, other people won't be.

I pledged money to your game because the way you handled comedy in Barkley 1 was great and didn't feel tryhard, and you didn't rely on internet memes. Your sense of humor and delivery were outstanding. I didn't pledge because I'm expecting more of Sir Charles, b-ball, and chaos dunks being mentioned every 10 seconds.

Don't underestimate your audience is what I'm trying to say. I'm not expecting Barkley 1.5 and I would hazard to guess that many other people are smart enough not to either. Relax and make a fun and funny game, that's all I ask.

Yeah, they were bad and embarrassing. In the PAX build that we made specifically for the convention, instead of respawning at this utility station where you normally respawn, the game restarts, which causes a double of your sprite to appear on top of your sprite. This double can't go underneath the depth and object tile layers, so it looks like total poo poo. You can go underneath those layers in the real game and it's not a bug that happens in the real game because the real game doesn't restart completely when you die, so it's just a dumb, embarrassing bug exclusive to the build we showed at the convention.

Also it was really cool meeting all you guys, you were awesome. I'd only met two people in my entire life who had ever heard of Barkley before, so it was this surreal experience meeting a billion people a day who like our stupid game. Thanks everyone. Hopefully Barkley 2 will live up to your expectations. We're trying really hard to make it not only a funny game, but something that's actually good to play this time around.

The wizard cameo during the interview was the best thing ever.
