Keep pushing, keep publicizing, keep begging.

Plus we're almost over a grand away from our daily quota. If we keep pushing, we should make it threw the day alright.

Our daily requirement has fallen to only $8,300. We are only $600 away now.

Here's hoping for another 5-digit day.

Yeah, this is starting to look like a sure thing. Really exciting.

It's looking like SpaceVenture might be able to come back too.

Wait til the IGN interview airs.

We will most likely have a flood of backers then.

It wouldn't surprise me if we make it 550 at this rate which will allow for audio in foreign languages too.

20% over budget ($540K) is only foreign language subtitles, not audio. Hopefully we can get close to that range and have a flood of additional international backers.

When will the Retronauts interview air? Based on iTunes, they only have a podcast every two weeks. The last was May 25th. That would mean around June 8th is the next one. That will be a nice boost for the final week. Let's work on getting to $450,000 before then!

Yeah, but there's no reason I can think of for withholding something so simple as translation ransom for $90,000. The community should pitch in and offer those services for free.

$317k! A $9k day! And over 100 new backers. What a great week it's been.

If I use kicktraq numbers it means we need 8752 dollar daily on average to make it to 100% on time.

That's easily doable considering the nearly exceptionless torrent of pledges in the final days of a campaign.
