      Not to be turbo anal or spergy but star citizen raised 42 million between their own crowdfunding AND kickstarter. The kickstarter only raised 2 million, and ended almost 2 years ago. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen/posts Just letting you know before the rest of the internet attacks your throat over it.

      Still loving the new content. Thanks!

      Something about the way that was narrated made me think of those old movie serial news clips.
