What was that about "too many chefs"?

Anyways, the techies called me after I chewed little Bryan boy a new one. I don't mess around.

I shudder to think about how horrible things would have gotten if you hadn't taken care of things.

I love this. Lol. Now hopefully they have their shit together.

incrediblehark · 07/28/2012, 02:23 AM

wow I missed a lot! Can't believe they sent you Insanity! But definitely glad its getting sorted out *fingers crossed*

Too bad I missed out on the donation/raffle, and esteban in Maine!? I forgot you said you were visiting, I'm still living in Wiscasset too!

Holy cr*p! I had coffee in Wiscasset a bunch of times, too!!!!

I biked from Pemaquid Point Lighthouse to Lake Pemaquid a bunch of times, cutting through Wiscasset (or am I thinking of some other little town?)

Regardless, I certainly had coffee in Wiscasset's "downtown" area, though.

BlueBMW · 07/28/2012, 09:00 AM

Maine is a beautiful state. I want to visit there again. Acadia park, Bar Harbor... man such nice places to visit.

Yup. I used to camp up near Acadia. Now, with kids, the camping needs to be a shorter ~~car~~ van-ride away. Mid-Maine is the longest *barely* bearable distance from NJ.

What about the Berkshire area in western Massachusetts? That might be a bit closer, though maybe not as nice as Maine.

Hmm, was it Treats? thats the only thing close to coffee shop downtown I can think of. If so I live like a minute away, across from Red's Eats, right in all the traffic.

Red's Eats! I remember passing that! Is that on the "main" road that cuts through town?

MottZilla · 07/29/2012, 01:02 AM

I'm glad to hear that perhaps all this may finally be resolved in the near future. Talking to someone that isn't basically a PR guy certainly is the way to go. Talking through someone as a middleman is stupid when it is something technical going on.

BACK ON TOPIC: Rover has informed me that the CD pressing plant is closed for the next 4-5 weeks (apparently, it is a Wiccan holiday--solstice?--sort of thing). The Mysterious Song project will resume in September.

Keranu · 08/01/2012, 06:23 PM

I have still received no emails from Brian, though they should be preparing a new check disc this week.

You lie like a rug.

Keranu · 08/01/2012, 08:19 PM

For once I have FANTASTIC news!

I was surprised to see another package in my mail box today addressed to Frozen Utopia, it was the check disc! I didn't even think they had the disc ready yet, let alone shipped it!

I booted it up and played it and ta-da! It says Frozen Utopia on the boot up! This is our game alright. I messed around with it, testing all the languages and game modes and everything seems to work fine so far. Also, I must add, that the game looks amazing on the real set up, even with my crappy TV! I'll play around with it some more and listen through all the redbook before I send it to CrackTiger for further testing.

Will also be doing the raffle soon!

Bernie · 08/01/2012, 08:22 PM

Hoily fucking shit!!!! Hell YES!!!!!

cabbage · 08/01/2012, 08:32 PM

Yay! How exciting--it must have been wonderful to discover such an unexpected surprise in your mailbox

Equuskia · 08/01/2012, 08:34 PM

I'm not surprised. If that check disc wasn't in your hands today like I was told, they would have gotten another lovely phone call tomorrow. They are safe....for now...

Arkhan Asylum · 08/01/2012, 08:38 PM

Finally.

Only took 1.21 jiggayears to hear back.

Sadler · 08/01/2012, 08:38 PM

OldMan · 08/01/2012, 09:13 PM

Just for future reference....
Can you rip the check disc, and compare it against the iso used to make the master?
I'd like to know if there are -any- differences....

Mathius · 08/01/2012, 09:58 PM

You are awesomesauce!

VestCunt · 08/02/2012, 12:40 AM

WOW. MSR made it onto a real CD. Fuck yeah. Barring any errors on Black Tiger's units, TG-CD gaming lives in 2012.

Bernie · 08/02/2012, 01:03 AM

I doubt there will be any more issues.

Mishran · 08/02/2012, 01:38 AM

Guess this means we *might* see this in our mailboxes by end of August to early/mid September? Great news regardless. Nice to see this make it to the next step.

I don't want to jinx it, but, given their track record, I wouldn't be surprised if they mess up the artwork and packaging. A lot of replicators have cut corners and quality control to offer stupid indy bands a rock-bottom price for their 1,000 CD's that will never be sold.

I've pressed music CDs with two different replicators in MN. One shop stapled the booklets crooked, the other printed a two-panel insert the same on each side. Both had to open all of the CDs, reprint the art, and repack everything. Such mishaps turn out fine in the end, but we should continue to expect delays.

That was a great show. Surreal. I should re-watch every episode because I know I must have missed one or two. I hope I missed one or two.

Equuskia · 08/02/2012, 07:35 AM

From what I understand, the printing is finished. What was delayed was the disc itself. And if I see one pixel out of place there will be more phone calls...

They actually lined up the artwork pretty off center with their first sort of test example mockup. Even though they have some pretty ridiculously specific templates which were a bitch to fit everything within. The final examples they gave looked good though and the images were designed with some margin for error.

You can expect some (~50 copies to have slight printing imperfections), but the print quality is very nice. Anyone who has Insanity could tell you that. There are a few copies I have here with a little white dot or two on the printing. It's only noticeable because the whole insert is black. It doesn't matter though. It's not like I'll ever sell out.

Also expect some jewel cases to get smashed up on the way during shipping. It's pretty unavoidable, and it's mostly UPS' fault.
