So any word on updates? I thought Elan was going to get back to us a few days ago. Not looking for any more Stretches, but I would like to know the state of the Kitten…..
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T10:30:24-05:00
Maybe POT is immune to fruitcake?
Jean "The Insta(nt)gator" Roberts 2015-01-30T10:30:51-05:00
@Jim - Updates? What are these updates that you speak of?
Jean "The Insta(nt)gator" Roberts 2015-01-30T10:31:32-05:00
@Mike - Going Edison on the fruitcake is how you bake a fruitcake -
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-30T10:31:47-05:00
Actually Elan was in here last night. About 300 comments ago.
Jim Mosser 2015-01-30T10:32:24-05:00
Periodic speaking by those that might/might not know what is/is not happening in the world of kittens (that may or may/not explode).
I have got no fear of straying, I love my wife, I'm just saying!
Refael Abergel 2015-01-30T10:48:53-05:00
It's possible that they are waiting to cross the 130,000 Backers \ $5 Million mark to release their next update with some graphics indicating that...but who know? maybe they just exploring different strategies to tackle this unexpected fast mega-successful campaign.
LadyZ of the house Vampitten 2015-01-30T10:48:53-05:00
@Rod, way ahead of you. I distracted the potattens with their very own dirt-filled crates to sit in. Then I added a crunched of piece of paper semi-covered by the dirt. Done.
They do love dirt filled crates.... I'll need to work on that...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T10:50:09-05:00
@LadyZ, was the crate EU friendly?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-01-30T10:50:38-05:00
The historic-ness of The Historian's night was recorded in the Tomes of Time (but a gentleman Historian never tells details).
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-30T10:51:05-05:00
What? You tell us historical details all the time!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-01-30T10:51:16-05:00
@LadyZ, where do we stand on trinkets for these crates? Could we get a t-shirt as well?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T10:51:53-05:00
@The Historian, also a Historian that wants to keep having historic nights!
LadyZ of the house Vampitten 2015-01-30T10:52:15-05:00
@Rod, but of course! Nothing but the best for the masses. Can't take too much credit, though. 'twas not my first attempt. My first offering of potato salad was tossed to the ground.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-30T10:52:28-05:00
@LadyZ, will there be a sg for a sleeve for the crate?
And are the crates SAS and SAL? Do they come with protective sleeves, and do they containt any Hairy Boob sweat/hairs?
Jim Mosser 2015-01-30T10:53:07-05:00
OK, so Exploding Kittens has surpassed the last "most backed project" by 15% in less then 10 days? Is the 7th most funded project ever and the 2nd most funded game. For a simply card game…. And it still has 20 days to go… I can only imagine that Elan, Matt and Shane are totally overwhelmed right about now… Can't imagine starting a fun little kitten project and having it turn into a giant Sabertooth that just won't stop growing….. It's like a Kitten Pandemic.. I imagine they are just sitting back right now wondering what this will all turn into when the dust clears….
dns12999 2015-01-30T10:53:14-05:00
@Refael w keep guessing they're waiting for X backers or $Y amount funded then those numbers fly by with no update. :(
LadyZ of the house Vampitten 2015-01-30T10:53:27-05:00
Yes to all! I see no reason why we can't please every single person around the world with all their demands.. I mean requests.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-30T10:56:13-05:00
@Jim. I imagine them running around frantically saying things like "What the hell have we started?" and "How the hell are we going to make and distribute this number of decks in the promised amount of time?"
@Blackhawk: Dang, guess I will need to go buy lunch today...kind of forgot mine at home.
John "Collar Stay" Kelly 2015-01-30T11:11:07-05:00
Not that I became a fan of the Packers, but I did catch my self watching some of their games. Just hard to not to watch good football.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-30T11:11:23-05:00
Big showing for Big10 in most of their bowl games.
John "Collar Stay" Kelly 2015-01-30T11:12:23-05:00
Going to Milwaukee in May to catch the White Sox play the Brewers. Should be fun
Greg Hancock 2015-01-30T11:12:58-05:00
"Most backed campaign in history" ... that was 22,546 backers ago!
So amazing to see this sucker take the world by storm. Who would have guessed that a little facetious blog poking at the crap we all live with would become such an influential movement. The more I learn about Matthew Inman as a person, the more impressed I am with him. It is so wonderful to see the EK Team achieve such success! I only hope that, one day, I will create a product that is received with a fraction of this enthusiasm!
Well done, guys!
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-30T11:13:32-05:00
@JK, that last game is still hard to swallow.
With all of the weapons on offense the Bears have, you guys should be at least top 10 in scoring, as long as your new OC is with anything.
Nathaniel Alson Hatten 2015-01-30T11:13:52-05:00
This made the front page of Yahoo! That's pretty awesome. :)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-01-30T11:15:40-05:00
@John, you'll be in my neck of the woods in May. If you get the chance go to The Safe House. Its a spy themed bar that is pretty amazing. I strongly suggest getting a Great Spy-tini.
@John: True, though it was kill for me to watch the FSU v. ORE game... anymore fumbles/conversions/interceptions and I was going to start crying for fsu and I wasn't even rooting for them.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-01-30T11:16:57-05:00
Trinkets speaks the truth. I'm not a huge baseball fan but I've always enjoyed going to games there.

Who wants a story?
Soo i bet this will go to 150k backers and 6 mill or so
*raises hand* I do!
In the darkness of the night
On the other side,
There's daylight...
It's kinda strange, alright -
Funny creatures there dwell...
Wearing their MOSTESTEST
Shampoo smell...
And some can even spell.
Hatching plans with all their might,
Brain-cogs screeching loud
Through last night -
They devised a big fright.
Regulars - a folk so grunge -
Are collecting cards,
A big bunch...
The planners took the plunge.
Professor F was mighty bad,
Ladies told him so,
With bald head...
He loved cards more than bread.
Decided was by almost all
To make an ambush
With one goal...
Steal the cards - they made a poll.
(They're civilised folk, after all.)
Long story short - they did succeed
In satisfying
F's card need.
Were very proud indeed.
But at the morning bell chime
The victims found out
The big crime.
And they were mad big time.
If they want from me to tell
How the story
Ended well,
They will have to wash their smell :P
Who wants to cber?
This Professor F. sounds like a rival...
He is indeed.
@Tsveta Koleva that was great. I'm no good with words.
@Dr. P, he's stuck in a time loop right now so you're good. But you will want to keep an eye on him.
Can Professor F be captured and locked up in a faraday cage?
Hmmm.... I hardly think he'll be a match for my potatten™ army... we shall see.
Only if you don't let him speak. Otherwise he can make you do unimaginable things.
He's the ultimate EU friendly villain and no Faraday cage can stop him.
@Monica, Glad we can help entertain others while entertaining ourselves while awaiting updates.
@Tsveta, so this is what you've been working on? I like!! *Cuts a slice of fruittaten from sleeve and offers as gift.
Yep, got lost in the rhymes somewhere in the middle so took more time than expected.
@LadyZ, careful not to rile up the potattens with your gifting!
I think I would be immune to his babble, why else would he be my perfect rival...
He's got a dildowand and will play matchmaker on you and Elan!
Once he gets out of Historian's time loop.
@Tsveta, that poem is awesome, it shall be recorded in the Historical Record (aka the Google Doc I've started keeping).
Speaking of the Historian...wonder if his night was historical.
;)
I have got no fear of straying, I love my wife, I'm just saying!

I thank you, my lady, on behalf of your lowly subjects.
Next update totally is at 126,952 backers.
i wonder if the the trinket is a real exploding cat. You can use it up to 9 timds
@Tchotchke, Rod hit the nail on the head, some historic details must remain shrouded in the mists of time.
Still waiting for 123,456.
@Jim. I imagine them running around frantically saying things like "What the hell have we started?" and "How the hell are we going to make and distribute this number of decks in the promised amount of time?"
"How the hell are we going to please all these loonakits?"
123,456 backer goal! Let's make it happen to day, I'll put the potattens on it immediately.
@Historian: Never asked for details, just asked if it was hishistorical. :P
It's actually the #1 funded game! They are only second in the total category games (#1 in that category is a console). Mind. Blown.
Since the Potattenageddon was acoided.earlier, is it wise to put them to a task?
@GM, it was one for the ages.
Any bets as to when we hit 5Mil?
*avoided
Aaarrggghhhh. Starting with the misspellings already.
Watch out! He's released the potattens!
@Blackhawk: Depends, can I bet your lunch? And eat it when I win?
And as soon as I mention misspellings, good morning @Blackhawk!!
If it keeps on track we should beat RR in about 2-2.5 days
The future hasn't happened yet so I don't see any reason to worry.
&Blackhawk, good morning sir!
@Owen Now, now. If it happened, it must be recorded in the annals of history (pun intended). Unless it happened in Vegas.
@Tchotchke, I'm totally putting a mustache and horns on my cat today!!
Goatee and horns, sorry
Now who wa ts to cyber? I'd love to see some pussy
...............
Whoa.... someone must have squared i
Huh.... What do you know
There's a line man, toe it all you want but it would be wise not to cross it.
Any word on international shipping?
BTE, @Tchotchke, I meant my real cat, not the picture
@John: None that I'm aware of.
Yes, I gathered ;)
Just messing around anyway. I live in Chicago
Lol...-1.
@JK, a fellow Midwesterner.
Sooo how bout them Bears?
I figured as much John, but I'm multitasking so I had to turn off my sarcasm filter.
@GM But I want to keep my lunch. I don't want to be that. haha. But I'll bet a some gum.
They're all hibernating right now. So can't really tell you how they Are. The mountain lions though, they are fairly active.
The Pack wish they could play them more than twice a year, lol.
Maybe not so much, now that you have an actual headcoach with actual headcoach experience.
I wouldn't know about any bears, but the buckeyes killed it.
@Blackhawk: Dang, guess I will need to go buy lunch today...kind of forgot mine at home.

Yahoo is still relevant in this day and age?

I don't see it on front page
And I'm only using Yahoo Finance every 3 months or so.
@JK. Miller park is a beautiful place to watch a game. I hope you enjoy your game.
@EB I seriously hope the get rid of Marshall though.
@Chris - I will have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up
@John: True, though it was kill for me to watch the FSU v. ORE game... anymore fumbles/conversions/interceptions and I was going to start crying for fsu and I wasn't even rooting for them.
