OK, this was absolutely hilarious:
18:50 (GMT) the email for the the latest project update goes out, Obsidian announced a new reward tier - the Obsidian Loot Bag which includes an AMD processor and is $350. Available to limited amount of backers - only 30.
18:53-18:55 - I was making myself some tea - I just started the kettle, when my flatmate noticed it and told me. It took a minute or two before he saw it, read it and told me. We looked at the Kickstarter page for details on the processor, and saw it wasn't too bad.
19:01 - The water was ready. So I put the teabags in the teapot and poured the water in. My flatmate in the mean time saw that the Kickstarter page didn't actually list the $350 tier. So he refreshed.
19:02 - I walked the three paces back behind the screen and the page now showed the tier - only 10 of the 30 $350 tier pledges were left. We laughed and he refreshed again - 9 were left now.
19:03 - he kept refreshing the page for about half a minute but we didn't see any new pledges being made. We just talked about it and joked how Obsidian can now just start get all the random stuff they have in their office - pens, erasers, brooms, etc, and offer them as rewards for backing the project.
19:09 - the tea was ready and poured both of us a cup. My flatmate checked and saw that the $350 tier is sold out now.
Also, they seem to have $125K in PayPal right now. That's information from about 5 minutes ago.
