    I'm showing $1,254,120 for 14,952 backers, so maybe a few are still trickling in from the Amazon authorization process.

    Apparently we raised $332 in less than 1 second (notice that the project has not ended in this picture):

    I have a shot of it reaching 1254, in fact.

    And we're done.

    I think Kickstarter broke there for a bit.

    We made $1,254,120 in total from 14,952 backers, for an average of $83.88/backer and $1685.65/h.

    Whoever put in $338, you were the final pledge!

    And congrats to everyone, who I'm going to call Order of the Kick(starter).
    It is what it is unless it is what it isn't. Or isn't what it is. But if it isn't what it isn't then it is what it is.

    The fundraiser brought in $29 a minute, averaged out over the course of the 30 days.

    Anyone else who was watching the last hour saw that it was bringing in several hundred, sometimes a thousand, dollars a minute. Amazing.

    Kickstarter died, and is having server errors. I'm sure we could have done it if that didn't happen.


    Still, that is an awesome amount of money. Way to go guys.

    That's right - George R. R. Martin; a writer so ruthless, his name is a verb akin to Samuel L. Jackson. Valar morghulis.

    Wow.
    Is the comment page on the kickstarter locked as a static page for anyone else? I think they turned it off due to load.

    The comment page on KS is officially broken for me. Says I'm not logged in, and is stuck several minutes behind. Is anyone else experiencing something similar right now, or is it just me at this point?

    Bah! I finally see an opportunity to get some autographed swag and kickstarter decides to give me the royal kick.

    We apologize, but it looks like something's gone wrong. We've been notified about this issue, and we're currently looking into it.

    Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again later.
