MSR *WILL* be finished, come hell or high water... hell more likely.

[Arkhan Asylum]

lol.  All copies of Insanity are equally worthless. 

[henrycsc]

Ark, nobody's disputing that.  It's the death threat that has the REAL value.   

[esteban]

Absolutely.

COMMANDER KEEN DON'T GIVE NO FUCKS.

[esteban]

COMMANDER KEEN DON'T GIVE NO FUCKS.

Death threat + that image = priceless.

[OldRover]

He looks so tiny... lol

[Arkhan Asylum]

I'm 135 lbs of pure killing power.

[hoobs88]

I'm 135 lbs of pure killing power.

5 of those pounds are helmet + hair.

[Arkhan Asylum]

and 130 of it is my huge alpha sword.

[Arjak]

Ark, nobody's disputing that.  It's the death threat that has the REAL value.   

Absolutely.

Wow. So that's what happened to Commander Keen...

BTW, Arkhan, assuming you are a fan of Keen, have you played the fan-made Universe Is Toast trilogy? It's awesome! The battle with Mortimer at the end of Part 3 was one of the most epic things in Keen. Period.

[henrycsc]

and 130 of it is my huge alpha sword.

Commander Keen has an alpha sword? 

And all this time, I thought it was a gun that shot lasers......  I guess that sorta explains the red tip.   

[Arkhan Asylum]

The test disc appears to work fine.

I will now list it on eBay.

[OldRover]

I will now list it on eBay.

I will now kill your 135 pound ass.

[Bernie]

HAHA!!!

[henrycsc]

Very cool.....  And the next tester is?............

[Arkhan Asylum]

I will now list it on eBay.

I will now kill your 135 pound ass.

I bet you'd like this ass, BITCH.  oooooooooo

Rover's "Keen Dream" heh heh

Sorry...

[OldRover]

No one, unless Arkhan's going to send it to me so I can run some very specific tests.

[Keranu]

I just got done calling Nationwide to approve production for MSR. Apparently Brian has been out of town, so someone else is sort of filling in for him. She told me to email them my confirmation to start production and, presumably, they will get the balling rolling. I sent them the email and we'll see how it goes!

[NecroPhile]

Expect 1000 copies of Insanity on your doorstop in ten days! 

[Keranu]

Expect 1000 copies of Insanity on your doorstop in ten days! 

LOL god I hope not!

[DragonmasterDan]

Expect 1000 copies of Insanity on your doorstop in ten days!  

This is exactly what I thought when I read that the Brian guy was out of town.

[hizaygizirlz]

So if all goes well we are playing this in September?

[Keranu]

So if all goes well we are playing this in September?

Yes, if not sooner. It will take 10 business days to produce and 2 - 4 days to ship. At this point it depends on how soon Nationwide Disc starts production.

I hope you mentioned the job number and name a half dozens times, so this doesn't happen. <crosses fingers>
We are all praying it goes well for you guys

Time to update the Frozen Utopia site now?

[Keranu]

Yeah I had to mention the job # several times on the phone actually. That part should be set, it's mentioned in every email subject line. I just hope the tech team will still be working with the same information they used when making the (successful) check disc. Also hope they're able to get a start on this right away so we don't have to wait around.

[OldRover]

Keranu and I are sorting out the rest of the bonus stuff right now. Should take just a few days... we'll likely have all that ironed out before the boxes of discs arrive.

[Arkhan Asylum]

BOXES OF DICK
i

wgiaiaiaiadfsdfsf

etc.

SHIT YEAH


Hopefully they arrive in good order.

so, did you get polywrap, or no?


If you did, fuck that shit!

[Keranu]

I don't think we did.... I remember the option for it, but I think I made sure not to click it. Probably cost extra too.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, we skipped the shrinkwrap, & went with carbonite that is wrapped in limburger, which is deep fried in chocolate sauce, with some nice foil stamping on the top that says Lunar!

It was the only way to fly.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Yeah it costs extra, and its dumb.

[MottZilla]

It was the only way to fly.

Made me think of this.

[blueraven]

Wait... Arkhan is Commander Keen?

 

[Equuskia]

If Keranu says he got 1000 copies of Insanity, someone will die. Promise.

Guys, the posts are slowing down too much. We need to pump this thread to 100 pages of posts by the time this game actually gets into folks hands! We have to feed the saga!

Just kidding, of course. Sounds like things should be on the straight and narrow at this point.

Don't jinx it!

I've been very patient up to this point about the game's release, but with the check disc actually working properly, I'm starting to get excited like everyone else.

Start knocking on every piece of wood you come by, chum.

I knocked on my head.  Does that count?  ;)

[Marll]

Looking forward to this a lot.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well, but I never underestimate people's capacity to fuck stuff up in a production setting like what's been happening with this company.

[Keranu]

I emailed Nationwide earlier this week (Monday or Tuesday) asking if replication has started since they never emailed me back after I sent approval for it. It's Friday and still no word from them at all, lets hope they've been working on this and not stalling.

I was going to call them the yesterday, but didn't have the time after work. I'm out of town right now, I'll give them a call Monday if I still haven't received an email.

lol I like this idea!

Mysterious Song is coming out? Then it won't be mysterious!

Is there a release date?

Is it under $72 shipped?

[CrackTiger]

Only the Investment Edition is and it has long since sold out. The Inferior Edition is $74.99.

[OldRover]

Don't forget the RoyVegas Special... it comes with an autographed photo of his ex girlfriend and a lifetime supply of Tums... $299.95. Free shipping!

That means when my copy gets here it *could* be worth a lot more than that. Wonder if I could trade my copy in for a house? 

[allyourblood]

Almost completely forgot about this. Can't wait to get it. Playing it will be a different matter (still don't have a working Duo or CD unit), but... great job either way, guys!

[Keranu]

Possibly the best news yet... replication has already begun and a estimated finishing date has been set! Even better, it's sooner than I expected!


"I have received your approval, and your project will now begin production.

Your job is scheduled to finish production at the end of the day on Aug. 21st.  This estimated date is based on your master disc(s) passing integrity testing and copyright checks. Any delay in these areas will result in a delay of the completion of your project. Should your job finish prior to this date we will ship it."


It should take about 2 days for shipping. So if everything continues to go smoothly, we could see an official relate date as soon as this Thursday. However we still to wait for a couple materials for the pre-order bonuses to arrive, so that might cause some extra delay. I'll start filling out everyone's names and addresses on envelopes so I can begin shipping copies out as soon as the game arrives.

[OldRover]

Finishing up the remainder of the bonus materials has taken longer than expected, but never fear; it shall be done!
