That SNL skit where Martin talks about how hard it is to come up with new character names ...
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:12:59-05:00
And do Taco Cats Quieres Taco Bell?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-07T14:14:06-05:00
My sister-in-law calls my chihuahua dog "Taco Bell!"
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:14:36-05:00
oh come on, $284 is in a holding pattern
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-07T14:15:09-05:00
I have decided not to record my song at this time for several reasons.
1. I suck as a singer.
2. Why open myself to ridicule?
3. There is still lots of time to get it done if I MUST.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:15:35-05:00
All our F5 buttons will be broken soon
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:15:37-05:00
So are we all going to sing the 8675309 song when the funding reaches that point?
Game Teams Studio 2015-02-07T14:16:08-05:00
guys what is your favorite cat breed?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-07T14:16:13-05:00
Hello, all!
Mike Kabala 2015-02-07T14:16:14-05:00
@POT, it's too late for #2, for ALL of us!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-07T14:16:23-05:00
... *Further ridicule...
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:16:25-05:00
Someone needs to pledge 1$ to give 5.555,555 a fighting chance!
Ian Ferguson 2015-02-07T14:16:27-05:00
Someone needs to kick in a buck or 11, lol
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:16:55-05:00
$200 to go ... just think, only six other times has this occured
Adam Lewis - Erudite Esoterist 2015-02-07T14:17:44-05:00
We're unlikely to see $5,555,555 exactly. But it would be awesome if we did.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-07T14:18:28-05:00
Is anyone prepared to get a screen shot if it does happen?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:19:00-05:00
Biggs and Wedge are on it!!
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:19:07-05:00
$81 to go
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-07T14:19:15-05:00
i'm here. ready to grab. should be others too.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:19:56-05:00
Porkins couldn't make it ...
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:20:23-05:00
Who chipped that buck in? S/he is my hero!
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:20:30-05:00
added $1
Adam Lewis - Erudite Esoterist 2015-02-07T14:20:40-05:00
Well done whoever added that $1! Current backer, because that number didn't go up.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-07T14:20:52-05:00
It's gonna take 4 $20 backers now.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-07T14:21:34-05:00
Damn
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:21:36-05:00
and zoom right past ...
Adam Lewis - Erudite Esoterist 2015-02-07T14:21:43-05:00
It overshot it! Went to $5,555,580!
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:21:45-05:00
sad face it skipped it :(
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:21:45-05:00
Damn!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-07T14:22:01-05:00
Thanks for the attempt Az4
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:22:05-05:00
I added a $20 to the pot
Adam Lewis - Erudite Esoterist 2015-02-07T14:22:23-05:00
There's always the number of the beast, $6,666,666! That really would be something, so let's all push to that!
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:23:23-05:00
Anyone think to augment the "soft kitten furry kitten little ball of fur" song from "The Big Bang Theory" for the exploding kitten song achievement?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-07T14:23:27-05:00
LOL! Someone took a dollar back!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-07T14:23:44-05:00
Welp, that was anticlimactic!
quick - someone pledge enough to make 66666666.... you could always change it later. ;)
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:24:00-05:00
Oh well... aren't we easily entertained by watching some numbers climbing up?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-07T14:24:01-05:00
Sad we missed it. :-(
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:24:05-05:00
i changed my pledge, but thankfully didn't lose my backer #36830. That would have made me sad
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:24:56-05:00
i can barely afford the 35, i couldn't just add $1 randomly. sorry
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:25:20-05:00
It was a valid try, Az4r0th!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:25:23-05:00
How does one determine their backer number, anyway?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-07T14:26:42-05:00
Yay! Finally a slow point in the work!
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:27:04-05:00
If you really want the all 5s then have multiple people reduce their pledges to $1 to get there take the pic then up the pledges to where they were.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:27:14-05:00
BTW, I succeeded in automatizing the commentscraper. JSON now new every half hour. Will be working on other stuff tomorrow.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:28:13-05:00
I just dropped mine down to $1 so you can see
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:28:24-05:00
@GCOD
Click on where it says 'Me' in the top right corner
Click on Backer History
Then hit the + mark under this project
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:28:36-05:00
Hurry up and we can get that pic
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:29:13-05:00
Losing ground. Hurry up if you want it.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-07T14:29:16-05:00
Successful goat selfie! Nearly lost my damn hat, too. Cute goats, though. Posted to EK's twitter page! My first selfie/tweet!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-07T14:29:17-05:00
GCoD, you can click of your photo in the top right, go to Backer History, then click the plus button next to Exploding Kittens. There will be a number there under your pledge amount.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:29:18-05:00
@Da wolf, this will not work, as tehre will be others backing at the same time.
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:29:41-05:00
Microsoft Paint to the rescue!
Adam Lewis - Erudite Esoterist 2015-02-07T14:29:47-05:00
The Twitter likes explosion has ended. Shame :(
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:29:49-05:00
But we could try for a "vanity number" as it is called in the us I believe.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:30:08-05:00
If you do it quick enough you can. The longer you wait the less chance of doing it
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:31:03-05:00
Thank you Catness and Az4r0th. Apparently I'm #47,441
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:31:09-05:00
Well, I figured the Twitter achieve would be harder than the FB achieve. Hopefully more people like the Exploding Kittens Facebook page, since it's likely the majority of backers have a FB account.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:32:00-05:00
Bye bye 5s. Nice knowing you.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:32:15-05:00
Under $150K to Mars though.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-07T14:32:43-05:00
I claim Golden Kittens inside a puzzle box as a favor I give to people I deem worthy.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:33:25-05:00
And $669K to Pono (I really hate that name, I always think it reads Porno).
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:34:02-05:00
Or is Pono really pornos with Bono in them? That's an ugly thought.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:34:46-05:00
@Kabala, didja get your saw? It's so nice having a shop area, eh?
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-07T14:35:05-05:00
Question. Should we post our photos and submissions for the update to both Twitter and FB to be sure they get seen or is just Twitter fine enough?
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:35:41-05:00
I claim the golden kitty inside a Mardi Gras cake. Be careful when you bite.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-07T14:35:54-05:00
I want one! Unless...wait! It's not the puzzle box from Hellraiser, is it?
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:36:07-05:00
There is still a chance for 5556555... not.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-07T14:36:11-05:00
BTW, I added #kittencorpsforlife to my tweet to EK.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-07T14:36:12-05:00
Just Twitter for them to count, but putting them on Facebook brings in a bigger audience, so that's not a bad thing.
David Johnston 2015-02-07T14:36:52-05:00
Nice! I'm backer 852! Or 854. I forgot already
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-07T14:37:04-05:00
Someone posted a really good Exploding Kittens song to the Twitters.
Ian Ferguson 2015-02-07T14:37:16-05:00
I am 7158, I feel okay about that
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-07T14:37:29-05:00
I claim the ghettitten (ghetto kitten) and ganstitten (gangster kitten) for my posse.
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:37:36-05:00
Me: i can't spend all day sitting around watching a counter slowly go up
*pauses for a few min*
Me: ya i can, if i want to
Meh, I suggest an Exploding Kitten token that can be used for any board game. Kind of like bringing a custom pool cue to the billiards hall.
Monopoly? Got my EK token! Sorry? Got my EK token! Insert board game here? Got my EK token!
Marion Anderson 2015-02-07T14:39:47-05:00
@Mandy Awesome! Can you link it here so I can save it?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-07T14:41:17-05:00
@Cane, I've been using the saw for over six months. It was Well worth the investment. Now to find a Dwarven jeweler to make those a kittens!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-07T14:41:32-05:00
I'm #242
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:41:44-05:00
Holy Crap that song was actually pretty damn ingenious!
Mike Kabala 2015-02-07T14:43:32-05:00
@Lord Zombitten, no. It's like the puzzle boxes from my KickStarter ... In other words, a REAL puzzle box!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:43:59-05:00
Hmm, I like the EK Token for any game. I think I'll start using a kitten instead of an Ogre in my Ogre Minis games ...
"Göttingetten” 2015-02-07T14:44:22-05:00
Yes, the song is very good.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:44:43-05:00
Or better yet, I'll just use a real kitten on the game boards.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:45:14-05:00
Any war board game you can name your token "E.K. the Doombringer"!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-07T14:45:20-05:00
Oh, okay. Then I do want one B-)
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:45:45-05:00
Is that EK token UK Friendly?
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-07T14:46:06-05:00
I need an EK mini for Pathfinder games. Preferable the one gnawing on the grenade.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:48:11-05:00
We are half way to Mars... and after that to Pono and beyond!
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T14:49:10-05:00
So far my favorite sketch is the EK chewing on it's own eyeball from one of The Oatmeal's tweets.
Az4r0th 2015-02-07T14:50:09-05:00
we need a whole line of EK merchandise. EK lunchboxes, EK live action movies, EK swimming pools, EK Missile Launching Bagpipes.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-07T14:50:35-05:00
Oh, nice! When did we reach 54K twitter followers? That should put us at 20 achievements reached, at least!
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T14:52:57-05:00
I am pretty sure we've got the 150,000 backer and enchiladas, back hair and enchiladas es well. Songs seem top be happening, I do not know about the Marvel/DC challenge.
$10 mio and 100.000 twitter/fb will definately not be happening. On all others we have a fighting chance to reach 30.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-07T14:59:20-05:00
We've got a shot at the $10M but it will be a real stretch.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-07T15:00:06-05:00
I'm surprised no one made a song to the soundtrack of "Things that make you go Hmmm.." Then just make the lyrics chorus, "Things that make you go Boom!".
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-07T15:00:39-05:00
We are clipping along at about $3.3k/hr picking up 87 backers per hour. Average pledge has risen since yesterday by $0.02. Enjoy your journey!
