Since I was too late to donate to the goon drive, I've added that amount to my original pledge, which is now $215.

Same here :( Oh well, at least I upped my pledge from $15 to $55 for the full digital package. One question though- the $55 package doesn't explicitly mention that it includes the Avellone novella- should I not get it, would it be :filez: to ask for a copy here? :ohdear:

EDIT: Capitalization.

Buddy, if I didn't have as future to worry about (paying for one's own education is expensive, yo), I'd have happily paid (and been able to pay :v: ) the $10,000 pledge. Also, it's great to hear I still get Avellone's novella :allears:

Well, there is already WAY more interest in this than I thought... What would be the easiest shipping method? USPS has small flat rate boxes for $5.15, but could I just show up at a UPS store and give them my list of addresses and what I'm shipping?

And won't shipping charges increase like WHOA depending on where it's going to? I live in Malaysia, hence my desire to not spend overmuch this month- buying the t-shirt is okay, but the shipping charges might eat into my emergency funds, and that's not.

My memory is a bit hazy but I once ordered a goatman assmug from SA mart via USPS and I think the shipping fee for just the one mug was bit under 30 of their strange 'murrican moneys.

That was to Finland so can't be too much worse to Malaysia.

I don't know what's more :stonk: - the 30-odd dollars for Finland shipping, the fact that SA Mart actually has a goatman mug, or the fact that you ordered one.

No offense.

This is pretty much the reason I donated too :haw: ! I mean, I knew about Wasteland when I first played Fallout, but that was because I heard that Fallout was inspired by it, or summat of the sort.

One of the developers said outright that they made Graham's introduction as an innocuous, soft-spoken man doing a mundane task because introducing him as some monstrous ogre would have been moronic. And they're right! It would have been moronic. It is a moronic thing to want.

Agreed; I don't know why people want the legends to be true- you have proof enough of his badassery right there under the bandages. Like you said- making Graham a man, a mortal man, was perhaps one of the few things HH got right.

12 hours into taking payments, 46 out of 86 people have stepped up. That's impressive.

I've already recouped my up front costs, and so shipping will be no issue at all (once I get everything lined up). A few people gave me no address when they paid through PayPal, so I guess they think I'm a psychic or something. I'll contact them via telepathy email so they can inform me of where they live.

I can't seem to figure out why people are ragging on the screenshot. Maybe I just have low standards, but I like the look- certainly brown enough to be 'wasteland'-ish, but not so much that it looks like Fallout, for example. Also :hawaaaafap: at the Scorpitron.

Bad news is that I can't afford to pay for the belt buckle by next week, sorry :qq: Between the Steam Summer Sale and Ramadhan food purchasing/charity work taking up the vast majority of my budget, I just can't spare anything on the buckle, sorry :(

RPS made a post about the screen-shot and there are plenty of negative reactions. There is also a couple of negative comments about the scorpitron, but they seem to be from people who don't understand this is a sequel and the back-story/setting has already been established. :confused:

I think the art style looks great, but it needs some serious AA love to soften those edges.

I don't know; it seems pretty positive to me, albeit with some "But I think it'd be better if...". That said, :roflolmao: at the twits wondering what the Scorpitron is doing there. I've never played the original, but a few minutes' research should show you what to expect from it.
