LOL. Well, I hope this sorts things out with the company and delivery of machines. I'll still be surprised if I see my game by fall.
Honestly, I've been sitting around waiting for years for this pin to release. Before it was announced, I was hoping and dreaming of an Alien pin. While I hope it gets delivered by september, I don't think that's very likely. But, either way, my deposit is in and I am just going to let it ride. I don't see any need to get all worked up over any of this news, because I felt the same about the delivery date when Andrew was steering the ship. When Andrew originally announced the release date I laughed and said "I'll believe that when I see it", and when that date was missed and he gave a new one, I had the same reaction, and so on down through the line of missed dates.
Now, we don't have firm dates given to us, just the same vague promises that we had before. In my books, nothing has changed, and if the new investors want to give people confidence in the company, they will do one thing and one thing only: ship pins. Then when you've cleared up the backlog of people who want an Alien, and you have a FINALIZED product for your next game (so you can make real promises), then show it off, then start taking pre-orders and such. But above all else, get ready to ship a ton of Alien games, because once they are shipping within a few weeks of a new order, you'll have a lot of new orders. Most people just don't want to deal with waiting.
I'm skipping through this whole thread. Here I thought the other Alien thread was full of pointless banter about nothing, but this one is on a whole different level.
I like reading threads like this because it makes me feel like a normal, well-adjusted person. It's like horror movies, I don't watch them because I want to live through that scenario, I watch them so when I go to bed I can think "wew, glad there isn't an acid-spit-dripping killing machine in my room". It's just a total emotional rollercoaster with some of you, and I love every minute of it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you can't handle the stresses of pre-order, either financially or emotionally, maybe it isn't for you. There are plenty of in stock new games and plenty of used games up for sale.
That being said: gimme my machine you bunch of clowns.
Quoted from billycrna:Would be great if Heighway would rebirth my fucking money.
You might have to settle for the afterbirth
Quoted from Rascal_H:How’s the rebirth going?

Still an afterbirth.
