I'm really tempted to contribute to Jackie Rose - The Treasure of Captain Read and might pledge $30 to get a physical copy with a sketch inside.

    I also pledged to Veronica Mars when that was going on, but so did half the Internet, so that's kind of a moot point.

    Oh, and I'm looking at a couple other things right now as well. We'll see how much I end up spending. Maybe I should grab another beer.

    Ahh, okay. I haven't heard of any of those though. Not surprising since I tend to only focus on the game-related kickstarters. Although that Sam and Fuzzy collection looks interesting. I haven't really read a comic/graphic novel in years though.

    Yeah, I've spent way too much money this week. With all the 3DS games I've been snagging as well as the concert tickets I purchased. I'm getting toward the end of my funds until next week. Although there's still a couple more 3DS games I'm watching that I might snag if the price is right.

    I've noticed you're still picking up some NES games now and then. How many are you up to now if you don't mind me asking?

    Sam & Fuzzy was one of the comics that got me addicted to webcomics "back in the day." The storylines are amazing, and have the perfect blend of over-the-top "zany antics," odd-ball antagonists, and a deep-seeded emotional drive to "find one's place." If you enjoy serial webcomics, it's one of the best around. Also, Sam Logan is Canadian and attended UVic at the same time a few of my buddies were there, which I just think is cool and worthy of a $100+ of my hard-earned dollars.

    I just noticed Spaced Out one while I was digging around Kickstarter bored, and the artwork struck me as something that I would enjoy, so I started reading up on it. It basically sounds like Three Stooges meets Wall-E, with a cartoon-y and accessible art style that I think Dallas would enjoy reading with me. The pledge level for a physical book was low enough that I figured I'd take a gamble on it.

    Jackie Rose looks like Teenage Female Uncharted With Nerdy Love Interest Background Story. The first 30 odd pages are up in a webcomic right now, and the overall story sounded interesting. My problem is that I like to back these things at a pledge level that gets me somethng unique if it gets funded. I pledged to Sam & Fuzzy to get a limited edition hardcover, personalized dedication, fully inked drawing of a character of my choice on the inside cover of Vol. 1, and a Kickstarter-exclusive print & buttons. All of those things sound bad-ass. Spaced Out, I pledged for a signed copy and exclusive wall art print. For Jackie Rose, to get anything that I would consider really cool (such as the art print), I'd have to pledge $50 + shipping, which is a bit steep. Hence my hesitation.

    I bought a new kitchen table and chairs today, as well as a couple of things to decorate my apartment with, so I've been haemorrhaging money these last couple of days. I haven't been finding as many great deals for NES games as I was at the beginning of the year, unfortunately. Although I'm up to 263 according to my last count, plus a couple more coming in. Around 225 boxed/complete, the rest loose. I had the count of boxed/complete in my head, but lost it a second ago. It's somewhere around 223-226.

    Horrible, considering it's still evening.

    STOP TRYING TO PUSH YOUR BULLSHIT TIME ZONE ON ME

    Hmm, that sounds pretty cool. I really might look into some Sam and Fuzzy and see if I like it. The rewards you're going to be getting for that sound awesome too!

    That's the thing about Kickstarter that I'm usually wary about is the price to reward ratio. Which is probably why I've never really put forth any money towards any Kickstarters. Most of the rewards that I'd be interested in are kind of on the expensive side usually. When I finally have the money to spare I either spend it on something else or the Kickstarter is finished. Although I wish I could've gotten in on some that succeeded in the past. Such as Shadowgate and Organ Trail.

    Well it's always nice to have a place to sit and eat meals. Damn man, before long you'll break the 300 mark. I did see your last collection pic you posted. Color me impressed. I sadly, haven't bought an NES game for a while now. I'm kind of taking a break from buying NeoGeo MVS carts currently to increase my 3DS collection. I tend to jump as quickly from collection to collection the same way I jump from game to game.

    You would probably really enjoy Sam & Fuzzy. All of the story arcs are wrapped in a way that you don't need to read the entire archive, although it does help. And I agree, that's definitely one of the dangers of Kickstarter, and one of the hardest things for me to decide on. I generally am intrigued by a lot of stuff here, but the price point for physical content is sometimes set too high, and I don't like putting out a lot of money just for digital goods. I'd rather have something unique out of the experience. (Veronica Mars, I went for a physical DVD and T-shirt).

    One of the reasons I shy away from some of the games (even though some of them do legitimately interest me) is because of how easy it is for a games project to get sidelined and never end up happening. I'm still taking chances on the other stuff I've funded, but I feel like it's much less of a gamble. 'sides, I have enough games to play, I don't need to start having surprise games showing up at my door.

    I need to slow down on the NES collecting. Thankfully I have a bit, mainly because it's a bit dry out there at the moment. I'm focusing on redecorating my place right now. Hopefully that'll keep me busy for a month or so.

    You're definitely more of an "all around" gamer than I am. I can only focus on one or two systems at a time, otherwise I get overwhelmed. How are you liking your 3DS, anyway? I've noticed you've bought quite a few games for it lately.

    Evidently I am not very good at assembling shitty IKEA-esque furniture by myself.
