You worked on the initial funding campaign; you were there in the early days. What were your expectations when the thing kicked off? What did you think would happen?
Forrest StephanTechnical Artist
Honestly, I had no idea. I knew with Chris Roberts there would be some kind of following. I mean, like when he went live, was it Austin GDC?
Eric PetersonHost
Yeah, Austin GDC, 10th of October.
Forrest StephanTechnical Artist
I remember watching, then all of a sudden, boom, our site crashes.
Eric PetersonHost
In about 10 minutes.
Forrest StephanTechnical Artist
Yeah. I mean, we were there at like, what, 6 in the morning.
Eric PetersonHost
I was still doing the PowerPoint. I was tracking. I go, oh my God, the site's crashed. It just crashed right away.
Forrest StephanTechnical Artist
Yeah, it was bizarre.
Eric PetersonHost
It was amazing. He was up for like 36 hours before he did that, working on it.
Forrest StephanTechnical Artist
Oh, yeah. We were still working on it at 5 in the morning, two hours beforehand, changing the Hornet in their face.
