The video doesn't do it justice. The band is at least 10x louder than that in real life. It's a common complaint every year that no one can hear the video games or each other talking for at least 2 hours.

That band seems awfully damn loud for this gathering.

I was giving the guy change, but I do like that it seems like I gave the guy money to take the games.

That was the only time I sold anything. What odds that Jesse (the organizer) was filming at that time!

Hey... was I set up? Is this a GOD DAMN SETUP?

Here is a video from the 2013 Oklahoma Video Game Expo in Tulsa, OK.

I am donating a hard copy of Crypto to this year's Spring Thing text game competition!

Yes. To once again pilfer from the late, funny-looking Roger Ebert, the story is what it is about, and the writing is how it is about it.

Good question. Let's see, how would I put it? Is best story relating to what actually happens in the game? More, say, the plot? Rather than the individual words themselves?

What does best story mean to YOU, person who might be reading this?

Robb,

You certainly deserve the 5 awards you won this time around, after all the work you've put in over the years on FoD, ND, and finally CZK. It's about time you got some recognition.

So, if I didn't say it before, I'm saying it now...
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU EARNED IT.

P.S. I thought Lebbeus was a better NPC as a foil for Vest. Grimloft was the character I loved to hate. That is, I didn't feel too bad about sacrificing him. If the others hadn't complained, I probably would have gone with that ending.

Cryptozookeeper got a bit in this week's edition of THE BUDGET GAMER. Along with SWOOOORDS! Colon Lords of the Sword, Dukes and Dirigibles, VVVVVV and A Game for Ana. That's excellent company I find myself in. And I like the idea that the guy is going to play new games for $5 a week.

If you'd like to try your luck and get it for a little cheaper, I put an auction up here on GameGavel:

http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=0000644097

GameGavel was, at one point, intended to be an auction site that arcade gamers could use without dealing with ebay's horseshit. It's since been expanded to include all manner of console and vintage games.

Where could I get these "white" or "Kraft" boxes? It does seem like a lot of money to waste, regarding priority boxes, if the price per generic box is less than 8 bucks.

The Post Office itself sells plain white boxes for around $1. Kraft is the standard color of cardboard. Amazon.COM ships everything in Kraft boxes with their trademark of a smile on the side.

If you kept any old boxes that was used to send stuff to you, if they're the right size, those are "Kraft" boxes.

Why is this packaging important? Why is it critical that it use a Priority Mail box at $16.21vs. an ordinary white or Kraft box at $7.21? Is there some reason this is necessary other than to waste eight dollars?

by **pinback** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 3:02 pm

I'll give ya 8 bucks for it.

This is straight off the USPS website.

Oh, and now I understand why DHL does so well, a shipment of one of their small boxes to Italy costs $98 when using the web-discounted rate.
