Anyway, there's still 12 hours to go.

Pour that chicken blood all over, you psychic maestro!

Pretty nuts! I hope we hit $6M! As it stands Shenmue 3 is the 7th most successful kickstarted of all time, behind the Pebble Watch, a cooler, Exploding Kittens, and the Veronica Mars movie, which I'm sure noise kicked down for. Fans really turned up for these last few days!

There's $6M in the rear-view. I've got a pizza in the oven, and I'm preparing my body for the festivities. I'm hoping the Awesome Japan reps aren't allowed in the room for the Twitch stream.

I guess all that's left is to see if the KS will top the Pono player, and reach ragdoll physics.

All right. I gave into temptation and backed it. Mostly for me, but also partly because Bogus' joy is just so damn infectious

They've got 29 minutes to go and the current total stands at 6.28k. It may just squeak by with the rag-doll physics yet.

Good man! What took you so long?

Well, first it was because they didn't have a physical PS4 version (but they fixed that. Yay!) And then... Well, I can't really think of another reason other than procrastination (and a constant internal debate of which tier to back.)

Current total now at 6.30k with 16 minutes to go.

I was going to back it, but couldn't get the $10 I was missing for a physical PS4 tier in time. :\

I love you and you did the right thing. At the gates of whatever afterlife you may or may not believe in, you will find me waiting to give you a hug, because you are an awesome person.

As far as making more money goes, Shenmue 3's Kickstarter will make more money from backers than it did.

69,320 backers pledged $6,333,295 to help bring this project to life.

I am proud of the internet today.

I'm also pleased to hear of the PayPal option now that funding is over. That was strategic to announce last night; I think an announcement early in the campaign would have detracted from getting more pledges.

Now that we have Paypal, I hope that as we contribute, that we can tier up by contributing more, or if exclusive things happen when we do.

Overall I'm super pleased and Bogus and I will be going to a You Arcade in the near future for some Hang-On, Outrun, Space Harrier, and After Burner.
