Update #19: The final countdown, streamathon, and a new stretch goal

March 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Good morning, everyone! The very last day of our Kickstarter has arrived. Exactly 28 days ago I pushed "publish" on this campaign and held my breath, really not believing in my heart that we could pull this off, and you all proved otherwise. I just... (Read More)

Update #18: A labor of love

March 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Tomorrow's our last day, folks! Massively OP's MJ has a full day of streaming planned for Friday starting at 10a EST and running until 10p EST when our Kickstarter is officially completed. We're aiming to have our schedule up on OPTV's splash page... (Read More)

Update #17: MOP - The movie (trailer)

March 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
What if Massively Overpowered were a cheesy action flick? Jef Reahard's latest MOP trailer ponders that notion in celebration of the last few days of our Kickstarter. (It is slightly not-safe-for-work, but the NSFW word has been mostly beeped out.)... (Read More)

Update #16: Ephemera

February 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Last week, guys! We're so excited (and about to ding 70 too!). I've been thinking a lot lately about ephemera. Ephemera is defined as sort of temporary junk: tickets, pamphlets, posters, stuff that is fiercely popular for a brief moment in time and... (Read More)

Update #15: Mo is gonna be a star

February 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Hi everyone! You've dinged us up to 68 with over 1500 backers. Woot! We're getting close to our first stretch goal with just seven days remaining in our campaign, so we thought we'd sweeten the pot just a little bit. Our original $75K stretch goal... (Read More)

Update #14: The crowdfunding perspective

February 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Running a Kickstarter for a website that frequently criticizes Kickstarter has been an odd experience. As gamers who've watched crowdfunding platforms blossom from nothing to Guinness world records, we are far more inured to the idea of crowdfunding... (Read More)

Update #13 - All about the new site

February 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Hi everyone, and thanks for the ding to 66! I wanted to tell you today a little bit about some plans we have for the site, and some of the projects we've been working on behind the scenes -- you know, other than dealing with lawyers and locking in... (Read More)

Kickstarter Overpowered: Week two’s new video

February 20th - via: massivelyop.net
The Massively Overpowered Kickstarter campaign is now half over: two weeks in, two weeks left to go. We’re tickled to now have over 1400 backers who’ve busted through our goal, Kool-Aid Man style. Oh yeah! (Read More)

Update #12: Here's how it is

February 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Remember a few days ago when I said I'd just seen the draft of a really cool thing I couldn't talk about yet? It's here! I present to you the second Massively Overpowered Kickstarter video, once again crafted by our very own Jef Reahard and this... (Read More)

Update #11: The long dark tea-time of the soul

February 18th - via: kickstarter.com
Right now we are in the "long dark tea-time of the soul" period of the Kickstarter campaign, where the initial frenzy of the start has worn off and we are hunkered down for the long haul. It's not a horrible place to be; it gives us time to catch our... (Read More)

Update #10: The backers

February 16th - via: kickstarter.com
While Kickstarter campaigns tend to focus on the giant number next to the dollar sign there, what's fascinated me just as much -- if not more -- about Massively OP's campaign is the number above that: how many backers we have. Prior to the launch of... (Read More)

Update #9: Ding level 60!

February 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Thanks to all of our supporters for pushing us past the $60k barrier! We're just wrapping up our first week of Kickstarter and our third day online as Massively Overpowered. We're continuing to push toward our $75k stretch goal; hopefully, it'll help... (Read More)

Update #8: The preliminary MOP site is up!

February 11th - via: kickstarter.com
Thanks to all of you, we've officially dinged $57K today! We won't see a penny of that money for many more weeks, which means the writers and tech are working for the love of it right now, but we're not resting on our laurels: We've officially... (Read More)

Update #7: Getting it working right

February 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Hey guys!  We broke $55,000, which is insane and great, so thank you!  Every time we think we're done being humbled and impressed by the sheer magnitude of this community, you blow through another milestone.  It's the good kind of being wrong,... (Read More)

Massively Overpowered, Patreon, and the Future of Games Writing?

February 10th - via: cliqist.com
Massively Overpowered just might be the future of video game journalism and writing. (Read More)

Update #6: All about Mo

February 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Ding 53! Thanks everyone! We are still rolling along with our eyes on that stretch goal. Right now, we are shooting for tomorrow on the interim site launch; our coder fell ill over the weekend, which set us back a little bit. We'll be keeping you... (Read More)

Update #5: DING! Look what you did!

February 8th - via: kickstarter.com
You did it: You've leveled us up to 50 in under 48 hours. Dang! You pretty much blew past our hopes, never mind our expectations, even after we launched heading into a weekend in February, which metrics say is a bad idea. You > metrics! Cheers... (Read More)

Update #4: Stretch goals

February 7th - via: kickstarter.com
You've just broken the 45K barrier. Thanks, guys! That means it's time for... stretch goals! As tempting and fun as it would be, we're not going crazy here. This startup Kickstarter is not going to run the site forever by itself, and neither are the... (Read More)

Update #3: WRUP?

February 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Good morning and happy weekend, everyone! What a crazy week! Thirteen days ago, I had no idea that Massively.com was doomed to end and that I'd be standing right here posting this note as we anticipated our rebirth as Massively Overpowered. That's... (Read More)

Halfway home

February 6th - via: kickstarter.com
[Jef Reahard]: So, wow! Half of our funding goal in under half a day was completely unexpected. Perhaps it shouldn't have been, though, given how much this community has supported us not just over the past week-from-hell but throughout Massively's... (Read More)

It's over nine thousand!

February 6th - via: kickstarter.com
[Eliot] Wow.  Just... wow. We are absolutely floored already by the amount of support that we've been shown by our community, and we are incredibly thankful to each and every one of you.  You guys are awesome, and you're reminding us exactly why we... (Read More)
