So how many copies are still remaining?
OBEY TECH N9NE!

OldRover

Looks like about 30 orders still have to be shipped from the first 100, and I have a queue of about 15 that are from after it. 13 more were packed last night; unfortunately, we didn't get to make the drop this morning so they will be sent on Monday. Many of the remaining first 100 are international orders and we're now in Xmas season so some of the international orders may not show up until early 2013, but everyone's will be sent before that.

I made that error. Learn from my mistake, people. Learn!

OldRover

Well, most people have received their copies at this point... it's mostly international orders that haven't all gone out yet.

Goddamn, Rove. You did it.

Congrat's dude. I know you've been working on it for days and I'm glad to see it finally come to fruition.

On Christmas Eve I got our DVD extra'd copy of Mysterious Song in the mail!!  Thank you so much Rove,  you guys did it!!  Got to pop it in with along with my other Xmas SS games and had one of the most memorable Christmas gaming days ever!  The Bonus DVD had me in stitches!!  Keranu's interview was SO FUNNY!!

Way to go, and thank you so much!!

Having just listened to 10 PC Engine City podcasts today... I totally read that in your voice Paul.  :)

If you're looking for answers regarding your copy of MSR I'd suggest PMing the Rove man himself to find out.

Haven't seen Nod/Old Rover around on the Frozen Utopia forums lately. Unfortunately I have no clue on the status of both of your packages. If I had extra DVDs, I'd re-send the whole set to ya's.
Quote from: TurboXray on 01/02/2014, 09:21 PMAdding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I believe he said recently sent some out a few weeks ago, And I just recieved my copy...although I didn't get all those preorder goodies.  Speaking of which, Although I didn't get to see a whole lot of it, Awesome game guys, and thanks!  8)  now if I only had time to play it.

All of the confirmed international orders have already been shipped, with just a couple of exceptions. Some may take additional time to arrive. There have been a few that have taken a month, and one that took two months for who-knows-what reason.

And I have not been around lately due to IRL personal reasons, in addition to competing in a fierce game design competition.

My brother in law lives in China, & the latest scam there is for people to sell rubber eggs!  One guy was boiling an egg, & it wouldn't boil.  He called the police about it, they didn't believe him, so he threw it against a wall & it bounced!  I guess the only way to tell if they are fake, is to crack the shell & see if there's a membrane there.  Apparently it's cheaper to make fake eggs rather then having chickens to make real ones?

Ok, back on topic, Mysterious Song!! :D
IMG

CGQuarterly

Wow.  I don't see how a fake rubber egg is cheaper to make than a real one, but I guess the numbers work out.  I mean, you can feed a chicken nothing but kitchen scraps and still get an egg a day.

Chris
Yeah, the only thing we can figure is that maybe the space to house alot of chickens isn't really available in comparison to just making homemade fake eggs in your apartment...I don't know, either way, it's quite strange, but fairly amusing.
IMG

SignOfZeta

That story sounds like %100 total fucking bullshit.

I mean, maybe if you for some reason had some fake movie prop eggs laying around already or something, then you might sell them to some guy, but...chicken eggs are NOT expensive or time consuming to make.
IMG

ParanoiaDragon

I don't know, my brother in law has run into alot of strange stuff in China, especially the scams, & he's never been the type to make stuff up.  I believe it was in the news in his area, though I'd have to ask him next time we talk to him to be sure.

TIME ARTICLE:

http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/06/how-to-make-a-rotten-egg/

Seems plausible to me:

consider Chickens require and feed, room and any feed are both a premium in a place like China.  According to this article it's about half the cost of producing real eggs.

VestCunt

I believe it. Last year they were selling their poor plastic rice. I wish our food suppliers were as creative; we just get the same old cellulose and MSG day in and day out.

STATUS: Which came first? The rubber chicken, or the egg?
IMGIMG IMG  |  IMG  |  IMG IMG

OldRover

OK... I've been finding out that a large number of the orders we recently sent out, within the last couple of months, have not been reaching their destinations. One or two occasionally being a bit late is fine, but we're talking roughly a dozen or so orders are simply not arriving, even domestic orders. Anyone who has not gotten theirs, please let me know so I can send a replacement. We are going to ship through Camuy again rather than Arecibo, since the problem happened when shipping through Arecibo.

This message will also be posted on our Facebook page.

Shit, even after the thing's been closed off, and all the orders were sent out, we're still cursed by this goddamn project. And what's more is that I took inventory of all the replacements we need to do, and we're a little short on replacement DVD cases, so I have to order more now... won't take long to replace but it's just another damn brick in the wall. I wonder if big manufacturers have these kinds of problems. On the plus side, we've got plenty of discs, and Keranu had plenty of extra inserts printed.

termis

Yeah, but - still haven't received mine either - I don't know when you sent it, it can be a simply delay crossing the pond, but either way, let me know... (also double check if you've sent it to the right address as I can easily see something like that getting mixed up over the years & different people taking care of shipping addresses, etc.)

cosmos99

I've not received mines too(France) , i'm fine to wait longer but please keep a replacement order just in case,thanks!

liquitek

Hi mate, 

I see there are some delivery issues and I don't mind waiting longer as things get straightened out.
If you could reply here or pm me when it ships or if it has been shipped, I'd appreciate it.  :)

Cheers
