Like Die Hard!

Very nice! A favourite film of yours?

I would be overjoyed with schadenfreude if everyone in the world lost their silly little pixel badges forever.

You don't pledge an extra dollar, you have one more on the card than you are going to pledge. So if you're pledging $100, make sure the card starts with $101. I guess bad things happen if the card hits zero.

$2.97m!

$2,843,990 with 28 hours to go! COME ON, TIM!

As you all may have noticed from my sig, I'm @TimeGentleman Any more Idle Tweeters since 2009?

Gaargh!

Perfect! START THAT MEME!

Needs more meme.

Unfortunately, I find the phrase "herp derp" annoying. I'll have to just keep wrenching my eyes away from the car wreck.

Who, the Serafinowiczes? Nah, would be a bit weird. Maybe I'll wait 'til they have a new show out that I like or something, give me a reason to get in touch and congratulate them. Anyway, funny pictures. Hmmm. Squirrel using the force.

There actually seem to be people in the comments thread taking that position.

A DLC manifesto.

Well, I think I'm still Facebook friends with them, but that's public profiles so I'm amongst millions of fans who have never met them! The trouble really was that the prod manager kept pulling me away from set to do bullshit errands so I didn't get to spend time with the cast and crew like I normally would, plus it gave the impression that I was doing a bad job. Normally I wouldn't give so much of a shit (say, on the John Culshaw Show or something) but it's Peter Serafinowicz! It was really cool when Peter and I seemed to be bonding and then it faded away. I'm probably expecting too much, though. It's not like it's usual for cast to stay social with any crew below producer/director level after the wrap party. Not for snooty reasons, it's just you take a couple of weeks off between gigs to recharge and then you're off bonding with a whole new 50-strong crew.

Pledged! I stuck to $15. It was damn hard resisting that .pdf but I know in my heart it probably won't be worth my $45. If they eventually put it out for £3 or something, like Final Hours Of Portal 2, I'll snap it up.

I just pledged! I assume if I don't add on an extra $3 for shipping I just don't receive the mailed stuff but everything else works fine? Someone please post a reminder here when it gets to the last couple of days so I can tweet a final reminder to my literally dozens of followers.

This feels unreal, like a looping Flash animation.

I was floor runner/production runner (ie dogsbody). I'm out of the game now, I wasn't getting too far with it and the work started drying up with the economy crash. I'm not really in contact with the Serafinowicz brothers, I'm afraid Subbes. I started off getting on with them really well - I gave Peter (he doesn't like "Pete", which is really difficult not to use after watching Shaun Of The Dead so many times) a copy of Gibbage for his birthday and got a power-hug in return, plus I sent him and the other Look Around You guys a link to a game jam based on the fake game titles in one episode of that. And I helped James out with Star Wars continuity! Unfortunately, the cunt production manager drove a wedge between me and James S (who was producing) and that plus the fact that those guys were super-stressed and -busy the whole time meant that I didn't get to solidify the bond. As you might be able to tell, I'm still a bit sad about this. Some of that is probably imagined and some of it due to my being terrible at staying in touch with people. I did get on well with all the actors. It was particularly exciting to meet Paul Putner (being a massive fan of Lee & Herring's 90/00s tv output) and I fell in love with Belinda Stewart-Wilson.

Having looked CAD up on Wikipedia, this could be about four different things...
