Thanks for all the support, everyone. We really appreciate it.

Sadly, I have some personal business I have to attend to. I'll be back tonight to check in on this thread. Hopefully things will be running even more smoothly, and everyone will be gorged on ooey gooey, fresh baked gaming deliciousness. 

Cap'n D: Paypal issues should be resolved now.

Ghost: Check the batcave. I have an opportunity for you.

Tabata: Thanks! 

Darth,

I'm out of PMs. Please contact me by e-mail right away! (address is in my forum profile)

Move along, citizens. Nothing to see here.  8)

tube: You, sir, have an awesome wife! 

In fact, if any of you have a spouse, a significant other, a best friend, a barely tolerated co-worker, or a cherished pet, consider showing your love by getting them a big pile of gaming goodness from the AGS Bake Sale.

It's what good people do. 

Cirius: Thanks! And you're right, it will all make sense later. I promise!  


EDIT: Woot! The Bake Sale site is back up!  8)

Darth: It's been an hour. Should be try to put the proper Bake Sale website back up again?

Is there a suggested amount at all? I have no idea what I am paying...

Ponch's general guidelines to American currency

10 USD is for broke college students.
25 USD is for people with decent jobs.
50 USD is for people who love AGS and want to help sick kids and earn karma points.

These figures are just suggestions, of course. 

In between replying to tweets, DMs, PMs and emails I am playing RAM Ghost. It's keeping me sane.

Seriously, buy the bundle so you can play it (and the other games ) and it will be totally worthwhile 

I'm playing the Ben Chandler game right now. Love the theme song. That is sure to be stuck in my head for years to come.  8)

Your page is back up, Darth it's just running really slowly.

Thanks so much for all your support (and patience), everyone. We really appreciate it. Please bear with us and I apologize for your VAT tax. There's nothing I can do about that. I blame Greece, I suppose. Let's all tell Dualnames this is all his fault. 

The individual downloads are there to make it easier to patch / update games if that becomes necessary.

Dave's PR person just e-mailed me wanting to know why all of our websites were down!  

Too much traffic, Darth. BMT Micro is having troubles too. Hell, my own barn runner site went down for about five minutes. That's never happened to me before! 

LOL looks like there is so much traffic on the site it's down

I'm having the same problem! What a good problem to have.

With regard to the VAT, I have no idea. I just bought a bundle and no VAT appeared for me. 

Peder, I think Stupot++-+ may be right. I don't know for sure. Dave Gilbert may know. He knows much more about BMT Micro than I do.

[BAKE SALE IS HAPPENING NOW!!!1!!]

BAKE SALE IS HAPPENING NOW!!!1!!

I thought we agreed no 70s pornos.

It's not a porno! (Okay, maybe it is. Just a little).

But it's got super cheesy 70s special effects. And it's genuinely funny. And it has robots so awesomely awesome, I'll never be able to rip them off and put them in a Barn Runner game and still have a clear conscience afterward! It's the greatest movie since... well... ever!

While I agree that piracy is bad, I don't trust the government to do more good than harm when the get involved. People that torrent movies and games and stuff suck, IMO. I watch a ton of movies through Netflix and Amazon. I use Hulu to satisfy my craving for documentaries and older movies. Piracy sucks because it takes money away from the people who created the product and ought to be paid for it.

That being said, the government is a big, stupid, lumbering beast. Government action is akin to a club, not a scalpel. Once the government gets involved in policing the net, then all sorts of people and sites will get hit by that club. And, as others have pointed out, the pirates will not be stopped or even slowed down very much. But lots of innocent people who made video reviews of movies or games will be shut down and the government spokespeople will hold those poor saps up as an example of the pirates that have been put out of business. 

Leave my internet alone, government. Stop trying to help. 

Halfway through this fortnight, people. Bumping to remind you that we still need those stories.  8)

All the updates go live at noon eastern standard... just a few more hours!!

Woot! 

MUGGS tavern?  I'm trying to imagine how much effort it required for you not to call it JUGGS instead.

Stop reading my mind!!  8)

It's 20 January, but the site is still telling me there's 1 day to go before I can purchase this. 

What's going on?   

Oops. Sorry rest of the world that's not America. The sale starts at noon, easter standard time (which is five hours behind GMT). Sorry for the mix up.     Please be patient for just a few more hours. The sale lasts six weeks, so a few more hours won't hurt you.
