#948; The Ceaseless Onslaught

Comic Transcripts

There’s more good books, movies, and TV out there than I’ll EVER be able to get around to.

When I finally have time to browse and pick something out, what do I CHOOSE?
Something POPULAR, so I can be in on it?
Something CLASSIC, that I know is good?
Or something NEW AND DIFFERENT, taking a chance and hoping to strike gold?

Maybe I should just REVISIT one of my old favorites… but there’s SO much I’ve never even experienced ONCE!
I don’t know what to DO. I’m being left behind by culture. I can’t watch FAST enough — can’t read EVERYTHING — and every MINUTE that goes by it gets WORSE and WORSE!

Man: What’s Marie on about now?
Woman: She’s mad that her media consumption is insufficiently voracious.
Marie: All creativity worldwide needs to STOP until I can CATCH UP

{{alt-text: “her media consumption is insufficiently voracious”…nice. go ahead and blame the victim. SHEESH.}}

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
