Alright guys, I think I've got all my poo poo together, so I just have to print these addresses off and mail them out, and we'll be sitting pretty. Sorry it took forever.

Overemotional Robot posted:Did Raging Boner die? I never got that drat belt buckle I paid for I'm just a piece of crap who can't plan things out well. I wanted to wait until after x-mas to ship these out, then I ran out of excuses. I get paid next Thursday. Hand to God, I will have them mailed out on the following Tuesday. I am the worst procrastinator, and frankly it was a miracle I got the shirts mailed out in a reasonable amount of time. If anyone wants a refund, they know how to reach me.

Overemotional Robot posted:I understand how it is. It's easy to get bogged down with procrastination. To be honest I had forgotten about it until I looked through my email and saw the PayPal receipts and was like HEY WAIT A DANG MINUTE. They are sitting in a box in my closet, with their labels affixed and ready to be mailed. So yes, I still have them.

Holy crap. I hate to get my hopes up for a game that isn't really even close to being done yet, but that video... Holy crap.AxeManiac posted:Mailing stuff is the worst. I like making things, but finding a way to mail them, then going to the post office during working hours, ugh. Hope everything gets sorted out, everyone around here is pretty trusting and based on how you have been doing a good job and I doubt a handful of belt buckles is enough to run away forever and live like a king, it should work out. Did inXile ever get back to you about the backer prizes? Or do they still only have that "rough idea" message we sent to them in response to their email? And it turns out the faux gold belt buckles looked real enough to trick a group of pirates into following me as their captain, so as soon as I get off this boat, they will be mailed out.

Quarex posted:Yeah, I doubt every shopkeeper in the game is going to have a complex backstory that will enable you to either get cheaper prices or have a ridiculous mark-up because you are wearing the wrong faction armor/talked to an estranged sibling/typed in the third word under the heading "character creation" on page 12 of the manual. But imagine if they did... Replay value would be insane.

Brother None posted:Ah. Well not to worry, double-checking these high tiers is the first thing I'm getting to (mostly because there's less cases to deal with) and if I find I'm lacking information or something isn't filled in right, I'll contact the pledger to follow up for more info. You can also PM me here, of course, but note right now I'm still a little bit in organizing/setting up stage on this stuff so I might not be able to instantly help. Indeed, I was speaking about our group contribution of ~$2,900 reward. All we have sent in so far was the following: AxeManiac posted:Weapon - Toxx Claws http://i.imgur.com/yAYq8.png Which, I guess upon re-examining it is probably sufficient. But from the amount we all talked about and debated what we would submit, I'm probably more invested in it than I should be. Does our submitted description look good enough to you? Basically the only thing I would add is that the grenade is based off the SA grenade logo, and the Toxx Claws could maybe do some kind of persistent poison damage (if that is an attribute that is in the game's combat system). Edit: I went back and found our big-assed collection of write-ups on our grenade ideas, but I think I like the really short description better. Here is a link to that post if you are interested. Edit 2: I plan on (finally) going to the post office tomorrow, so all you belt buckle buyers can chill out and get off my case (actually, everyone has been way more patient than they should have been, and I love you all). Edit 3: Holy poo poo looking back, that Toxx Claws image is just perfect. There was so much effort put into this whole thing from our side, it just blows me away. :goonswoon: RagingBoner fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Feb 26, 2013 |

I don't know, AxeManiac, did you register on the Ranger Center yet? Just got done at the post office, and HOLY poo poo did international shipping go way up. It has pretty much doubled from last year. I won't ask for more money, I just want you to know that I'm getting my comeuppance for waiting so long. I have other, more unfortunate news. Apparently while getting your addresses all together, I doubled up on one person and missed another completely... Only I have no idea who I skipped. So, I have one buckle that I don't know where to send it to. I say we'll give it two weeks, and if you haven't gotten your buckle, let me know and I'll ship it to you ASAP.

Peas and Rice posted:Are there any extras laying around? I was out of touch with the internetz when they were made and didn't get in on the awesome. Funnily enough, there is one left, but that's because I lost the shipping info on what person bought it. So it's been paid for, but I can't figure out by whom. We'll give it a month or so for that person to speak up, and then I'll sell it to you.

Quarex posted:A couple of months ago, someone I had just met noticed "GOON" on my Wasteland 2 Goons shirt, and we had a Forums Moment. I forgot to mention it at the time. And tonight I was at a house party, and someone was like "wait a minute, a Wasteland 2 shirt? Like, Wasteland 2 Wasteland 2?" and we had a delightful ~15-minute conversation about the game and the Kickstarter and tracking down the original cover art and how you can totally kill me in the sequel and such. Further proof that you should wear it every day.

Some of my favorite games ever have the most base graphics you can imagine. Tone and imagery was conveyed almost entirely through text. That's taking the argument to an extreme, but to dismiss the art assets as looking like they were done on a budget when they were, in fact, done on a budget is kinda weird when talking about a game like this that is VERY text-heavy. I'm not trying to be a fanboy here, I'm just saying that unlike the super high budget games we are mostly used to nowadays, this game is sold mainly on its storytelling, not on its visuals (which I personally think range from decent to great). I'm sure when this game comes out if the graphics being a little janky is the only complaint you or I have about it, then I'll be a happy camper (and you probably will be too). I know I tend to look past a lot of problems with a game if I love the story (New Vegas). I don't know what that says about me, but there ya go.

Forgot I selected the T-shirt reward instead of the poster reward, so I just went in and selected the blue ranger shirt. Since I've lost weight since last year, it will be nice to have a nerd shirt that fits me better than the shirt I made (which is, in my humble opinion, a cooler shirt  ).I've said shirt a lot in this post. Quarex, aren't you glad you can probably go to the release party now (since it will apparently be in the middle of winter)? Don't forget to give Brian his shirt when you go!

AxeManiac posted:Hey SA Goon Backers! I wrote and posted a really long winded one in the goon-drive thread, but I think we all decided that a simpler description was best, because while some people may find one guy's "funny" writing funny, others won't. And god knows no one wants something "funny" written by a committee. Here's my shot: "A defective grenade from the pre-war era. Caked with rust and shoddily made, it's clear that it's always been pretty much useless. A dirty paper tag hangs from the pin, reading simply, "Pulling here makes all your wildest dreams come true." Even that might be too wordy, but I think everyone agreed that the last part needed to be in there, somewhere. RagingBoner fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Aug 16, 2013 |

Maybe we can condense and combine #2 and #4 (the two most popular options):quote:A mud caked relic of the pre-war era, this $10 Appleton Arms and Munitions SA-44 Grenade proves too powerful for most simple goons, who often blow themselves to bits while wielding it. A dirty paper tag hangs from the pin that reads "Pulling here makes all your wildest dreams come true." Lots of references, brevity, all that jazz. What do y'all think?

I'm kinda at the point where I think we should just let AxeManiac decide. He's seen how the votes have broken down, and what people seemed to like. I trust his judgement to submit something good at this point. Picking apart the wording and jokes is just killing any fun this has left in it.
