New Obsidian countdown teaser [Update 2: Kickstarter? One more day!]

Talking about the Codex, one member there found this, have we discussed it here?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Isle's_Torn
I had completely forgotten about Torn, but it makes a LOT of sense:
""In Torn, the player assumed the role of a wanderer, who was cursed to bring misfortune to people and places around it. Under a king's orders, the player undertook quests to clarify a series of conflicting prophecies. Unlike several other Black Isle Studios games, the game was to take place in an original world titled "Torn" instead of a traditional Dungeons & Dragons location."
Check the wikipedia entry.
(And yes, the Codex is quite a special place, not for everyone I would say but it's a bit softer than some years ago).

I know right? I'm hoping for a long Kickstarter so I have time to scrounge up some money.

Hey, I offered you some cash. But apparently, you'd rather keep your dignity.
And this is totally a kickstarter.

Yeah it didnt look it though.
heh, no, but the concept is pretty good and it seem it has common links with this.
Found a (terrible) "trailer" of Torn BTW, super early stuff I guess:

Just goes to show, we all have our breaking point.
Unless I am mistaken, he bought New Vegas on the PC, which is a Steamworks game.

i thought what i said was funny because this is well known? i also play TF2. Shocking, i know.
I will kickstart whatever gets me JE Sawyer's autograph.
The Codex is 4chan for RPGs. Anything goes.
My world has been shaken to its very core.

I'm not a very frequent reader (beside for news/articles), so I couldn't point anything specific.
But if you're generally asking if it still is very common for people to act like assholes, then the answer is yes.
They started so many projects they were left with flyover games.

Stay away from GD and you'll avoid most of the dipshits.
I'm so excited about this. If it is indeed a Kickstarter then my wallet has never been more ready.
I honestly think The Codex is a little "cheerier" than NMA. NMA can be a soul crushing place. Though this was 3-4 years ago when FO 3 was coming out, might have changed since then.

Maybe they are going to give KOTOR2 a real ending.
Poor attempt at humour; KotOR II already has a "real" ending.

Pfft.
I was 15 when I finished that game and I still remember being extremely confused and distressed when the credit rolled.
Scarred for life.

does someone know when to expect the update?
Every hero has his/her scars.
If I'm not mistaken the teasers each day went up at 1700 GMT.
mine were like oh a generic shooter made with fallout art? trailers don't really show a good rpg though.
Truth. It was as complete as an ending gets.

They're updated manually, so don't expect the reveal to be super precise.

With good reasons.
I still hate that game.

Oh man. I don't think that I could handle it now if this is some streamlined console game based on Star Wars, Wheel of Time or whatever.
I'm not sure Obsidian are capable of streamlined.
Edit: Hmmm. That sounded way more insulting than I intended it to be! I hope people take it in the intended manner...
Planescape Protocol 2
MMO FPS, with online coop up to 16 players.
2030 year, future weapons tanks.
Big explosions, set pieces.
PS3 and X360 no PC version.
you forgot dialogues.

This just might be the most exciting countdown this gen. I won't make the same mistake and miss the kickstarter like I did for Shadowrun Returns, Wasteland 2 or Dead State.
Oh yeah teamspeak.

O- Say something stupid in white, because you're don't need bonuses to sex who you want
\ Say something stupid in red, makes red shit go up
That's only because "streamlining" carries excessive negative connotation. Rearranging the skill system in New Vegas was streamlining. And it was a good decision.
