Relic Knights update and Crusader

Right I know a few months back I said I wouldn't be doing the whole Kickstarter update thingy... and I still maintain I'm not! But, I feel as a games pimp and undeniable bad influence on all of your bank balances it is my honour bound duty to inform you all that you currently only have 40 hours or so to get in on the Relic Knights Kickstarter. That my friends is not an awful lot of time to grab yourselves some sugar coated anime fun. If it helps convince you further, I myself have pledged at Saviour level to get two starter factions myself. I've even decided which factions I'm picking, I'm going with Cerci Speed Circuit and Black Diamond. Here, have a look at the bargainlicious deal that is the Saviour level deal:

You can zoom into have a closer look HERE

The current campaign total stands at a pretty impressive $622,828's. This campaign is definitely being funded, which makes me happy.

There is however another Kickstarter campaign that I have to inform you about. No not Dreadball, although it is a fun looking Kickstarter. Nope this one is actually for a band. The band in question is Crusader. Why am I telling you about this? Well the bands drummer is Dethtron from House of Paincakes, who did a lot to help promote my Blog in its early days... so I sort of owe him. The second reason I'm telling you is because he's actually coming to the UK shortly and I'm not sure if you know this but drummers are actually normally slightly unhinged psychopaths who like to hit stuff. So I'm telling you because if I don't I fear for my own safety.

So what the hell is it they are trying to do? Well something that many people who have been in unsigned bands over the years will no doubt greatly appreciate is a bloody difficult task, and that is to self fund the production of a studio album. Trust me, that isn't easy! They're only asking for a modest sum of $1750's, don't worry that's not the pledge they expect you to make. Nope the most expensive pledge option is $25's, so it's considerably less. I know most of you won't be interested, but as I think Colin (dethtrons real name) is a pretty decent chap I wanted to give his band and their Kickstarter a shout out on this here Blog, and I know a number of you are metalheads... or was it meatheads? I can never remember! Any way here's the link to their Kickstarter Campaign. Do what you will with the info. Oh yeah, just in case you're thinking this isn't game related, and you're about to write a snarky comment, here are the lyrics to that song in the video Thunderkill:

Can you see the force approach?
See the tempest in the sky?
The hour of reckoning now at hand
As loyal warriors they die.
The battlefield is scattered
With wounded, dying men
Blood spilling on the ashen ground
Finding solace in their death.

From the other realm he walks,
A war-hammer in his hands,
The earth it trembles under foot
On the blood-soaked war-torn lands.
Vengeance burning in his eyes,
As the heresy unfolds,
His anger tearing through the night
As battle lust takes hold…

Thunderkill!

Sons turned against their father,
And the Imperium of Man,
Siding with the Chaos Gods
The lost and the damned.
The clash of mighty beings
Is written upon the stars,
As he hammers forth his justice
In the bloodiest of wars…

Yeah!!! So there. Rock on and all that jazz. \m/

Peace out!
