A Machinima Reality Show - depends on YOU
I'm not sure I ever envisioned seeing a project like this one - but I'm wholeheartedly behind this iteration, primarily because of the guy who's putting it forward. pete_the_duck wants to create a Machinima reality show... but he doesn't have the equipment to make it happen. He's decided to ask the community to help; he's fired up a Kickstarter project to fund this. The beauty of Kickstarter is that if his goal ($400) isn't reached in the time allotted (two weeks), nobody owes a penny; the project isn't funded. And pete gets a pretty solid message that this sort of project simply isn't of interest to the community as a whole. If you DO want to see this, though, you can pledge a few bucks; again, you won't be billed until (and unless) the targets are met. I can't see myself endorsing a lot of projects like this; far too many Halo-based projects have great ideas behind them, but enthusiasm fizzles out when the people involved realize how much work is really needed. pete_the_duck has proven himself over and over again as someone who follows through on what he starts - and as someone who comes up with really entertaining Halo projects. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes - if you, the fans, decide to risk your dollars on pete's vision! Update: Whoa. Within an hour of this newspost, pete_the_duck hit his goal, and then some. you guys rock. (Louis Wu 16:29:23 UTC)
