My next bike is going to be the Honda CB1100. That's still a few years away, but Hondas are pretty affordable as motorcycles go, so it's not going too badly on the saving front.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:44:16-05:00
I don't have heated gloves, but I do have windproof, thermal insulated gloves
Daniel O'Connell 2015-02-13T16:44:18-05:00
Just have to say, very smart idea giving a deck to Smosh. I was on the fence about backing and it pushed me over the edge after seeing them play it. For those who are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T16:44:29-05:00
Catz, now just do it 10,140 times more.
Luka Sondern 2015-02-13T16:44:31-05:00
PoT I haven't been thinking about it, I'm too busy watching youtube
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T16:44:56-05:00
Catz, your good work is already helping. 10,139 more times to go!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-13T16:45:47-05:00
GCoD Don't forget the weekend reductions in force. I'm speculating Maybe late Sunday, probably Monday.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:45:55-05:00
Yeah, unfortunately, the Valkyrie is still an $18k bike, base MSRP
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:46:18-05:00
Because when they brought it back, they decided to put it in the Goldwing series
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-13T16:46:57-05:00
LZ- lucky you! Today is the kind of cold that makes you want to punch someone just so you can get feeling back into your hands. the "shitshitshitshitshit" as you run to anything oitside
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-13T16:47:29-05:00
I was thinking of going for the Stateline or Fury model, but they're a couple grand more, and I didn't know if the 200 extra CC's of displacement was really going to get me much in performance or torque with the increased weight.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:47:57-05:00
I hate that kind of cold. I'm sorry, Creeper. Drink some rum, that will warm you up from inside.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T16:49:37-05:00
Even with the weekend, we've got a strong day today ... so tomorrow I am guessing ...
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:50:15-05:00
Yeah, probably not. The 1800cc flat six on any of the Gold Wing models, though, that'll set you flying
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T16:50:53-05:00
Last weekend this did over $160K -- so this weekend for sure, no matter what ...
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-13T16:51:58-05:00
Yeah, but what I need is mainly city/highway riding. I didn't really want a huge touring bike for what I tend to do, although I have considered it for some of the longer rides when I do want to do some traveling any sort of real distances on two wheels.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T16:52:05-05:00
@Creeper, it's that cold around here as well, though it's actually warmed up from earlier. We're at 16F (1F with wind chill). Tomorrow afternoon, however, we're supposed dip to -20F to -30F with out wind chills... not happy about that at all...
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T16:52:46-05:00
@LZ, I love rum... good rum.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T16:52:54-05:00
$88,854 to go ... that's easy enough at the rate the backers are appearing.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T16:53:22-05:00
@CEO Kitten has been added to the KittenCorps. Welcome.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:55:40-05:00
That's going to be an issue for me. With my career move, my job will only be 1/2 mile away from my house, so the 600cc Shadow VLX will be about perfect for my needs. I just want the Valkyrie because it's so badass
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-13T16:56:19-05:00
I guess I'll be charging the motorcycle battery tonight, then. Looks like we're not going to have any good riding weather for a while!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T16:57:01-05:00
Well, I have to get going to work. I'll check back in after I get there. See you all later!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T16:58:25-05:00
@LZ, later!
davey 2015-02-13T16:59:05-05:00

Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-13T16:59:38-05:00
Historian- yup! Just checked- it's now 19 degrees!! Woooo! -___-
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T17:01:27-05:00
@Catness, you still here? Please email me about the badgitten and berserkitten. I need a description, special powers, alignment, and the name of their master(s). Thanks.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T17:05:15-05:00
This is a good example of why I need all website updates emailed to me. While updating the site, I missed several things being discussed in the Comments alone. I caught "Resident Hottie" by sheer luck. I appreciate your help sending me the things I miss.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T17:06:16-05:00
Trinkets!
Justin 2015-02-13T17:06:20-05:00
@mikeKabala just a heads up, you seem to have a double up of info from Antonie to CEO
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-13T17:06:31-05:00
Did everyone see Daniel O'C's link? Answers a LOT of question about how the game is played.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:08:12-05:00
I just got done watching the youtube vid -- not too bad, so it seems there actually is a game there, for all the whiners who thought this would just be Oatmeal fluff in a box.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:08:51-05:00
@PoT, missed it the first time around but just found it in the stream... @CB, I'll email it to you so you can throw it up on the page.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-13T17:09:17-05:00
cheetah butt- I'll be around for the most part the rest of the day. Will try to catch things. Agreed- noting it in comments is not very productive. They move too fast
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-13T17:09:41-05:00
I'll have to watch it later.
Kirstie Kurtenbach 2015-02-13T17:10:16-05:00
This may be somewhere - but since the new boxes can accomodate two decks does that mean they all come with tow decks or that the box can just hold a second one if need be?
Kirstie Kurtenbach 2015-02-13T17:10:35-05:00

Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:10:39-05:00
in 15 minutes I get to go home for the weekend. First order of business: a nap.

CB, I'm here. I'll email you when I get a chance.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T17:11:23-05:00
Essentially the badgitten would be a badger + kitten, an alternate name would be berserkitten, a berserker + kitten. I'll write something up and send it over.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:11:27-05:00
@Kristie, they will accommodate two decks but will only come with one (unless, of course, you've ordered two decks).
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:12:06-05:00
badgers... badgers? WE DON'T NEED NO STEENKEEN BADGERS!

Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-13T17:13:08-05:00
Also- I see what you did there
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:13:38-05:00
@Creeper, do you? do you really? ;)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:16:39-05:00
...crap... my work phone is displaying the wrong time... NOW I have 15 minutes left before I can go home and nap... :/
Epicderpguy 2015-02-13T17:19:55-05:00
How the did Smosh get the EK game. Someone just texted it to me.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:20:42-05:00
I think Smosh was on that JoCo cruise with everyone else.
Epicderpguy 2015-02-13T17:21:19-05:00
What's JoCo?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:21:46-05:00
Ian tweeted a picture that week, showing he had a deck ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:22:09-05:00
@Creeper..ever thought of offering baking courses for cats? ;)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:29:22-05:00
As I pointed out Wednesday, some Polish fellow has uploaded "his" version of EK to BGG for free download. I had to take a shot at him and ask how he could do a PnP version of something no one had publically seen yet.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:30:07-05:00
I then messaged Elan here, and informed him of the potential copyright infringement since the Polish fellow was using the images of Inman's cards already known.

It's 41 F here, I'm not complaining.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T17:38:00-05:00
@Historian - The cake full of exploding kittens is for the 99k likes milestone ;)
Now let's hope the last 10K doesn't come as slowly as the last 1K!
Aussie Jess 2015-02-13T17:38:43-05:00
Is it just me, or does 4million in 6 days seem like a bit of an unachievable goal?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T17:39:35-05:00
Also, I guarantee that no one on the highway would have guessed that the leather-clad, skull-festoonee biker was listening to Josh Groban, Celtic Woman, and Sarah Brightman

Marcos Twaf 2015-02-13T17:40:52-05:00
Guys, I was not trying to do spamming or call Exploding Kittens a kickstarter bully (hahaha). I just happened to like the other game as well and, since the EK fans have such a huge strength, I thought there was no harm to ask for some help to make a game I really want to play a better and bigger game, the same way we are trying to make EK have that big 30 stretch goals achieve surprise at here. I'm not getting anything from the other game and I'm not even related to them, but I understand the thought why that can be forbidden or such. So, I'll just enjoy the trip here and I hope you consider my sincere apologies.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-13T17:41:32-05:00
Must fight to stay awake! Maaaan.... My sleep schedule is so screweed
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:41:52-05:00
So the Facebook one is in the bag, but the Twitter one and the $10M is not likely ... the cat ears is possible ... so we should be assured of the thirty no matter what.
Marcos Twaf 2015-02-13T17:42:11-05:00
That being said, those that photo of 100 people wearing cat ears can bem made with poor paper cat wears?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:43:02-05:00
@Blondie, that's fair. I look forward to my piece of exploding cake. :)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-13T17:44:52-05:00
@Marcos: The difference is that we are not going into other comment threads to promote this game. Elan had no idea that this game would be so well received. So don't blame the viral popularity on him or this KS. I'm sure your game will make it. Why not go and promote your game on Reddit? They seem to like that sort of thing.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T17:47:23-05:00
That other game has succeeded. But for me, no. It is just another zombies in space game. Yawn. How many zombie games do you really need?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T17:47:27-05:00

I know somebody said not to post other Kickstarter projects here, but Matthew "The Oatmeal" Inman had this on his twitter page. I'm not backing it because I need to save my money, but this certainly looks cute:
@Edward I think that posting cat related kickstarters (like the one you posted) on here is perfectly fine, but if you post a KS for something that is totally unrelated then it is not right and should be ignored by everyone.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-13T17:56:57-05:00
Because there's quite a number of introvert leaning people in here I'm sharing Introji
Marcos, I don't know if someone answered already, but paper cat ears are totally acceptable.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T17:57:17-05:00

Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T17:59:40-05:00
Just about time to go home.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T18:00:09-05:00
I guess I've been hanging out with you folks for a week now. :-)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T18:01:48-05:00
I don't mind some of the posts from folks looking to help "their" game succeed -- but we're asking folks to like or follow -- these other games need money to attain SG.
My next bike is going to be the Honda CB1100. That's still a few years away, but Hondas are pretty affordable as motorcycles go, so it's not going too badly on the saving front.

I'm off for Shabbat. Be back on Sat night or Sunday. Have a good one everybody.
$85K until the fourth seat in the KS hierarchy of overachievers. :)
@Edward...I already backed that one because Cats ;)
And I also backed Moonman because Elan tweeted about backing it.
Have a nice weekend Tasha.
@Marcos...thank you for your post. I still already liked/followed because why not and welcome and yes it could be just paper kitty ears :)
@Edward I think that posting cat related kickstarters (like the one you posted) on here is perfectly fine, but if you post a KS for something that is totally unrelated then it is not right and should be ignored by everyone.
Because there's quite a number of introvert leaning people in here I'm sharing Introji

Marcos, I don't know if someone answered already, but paper cat ears are totally acceptable.
Later, Explaitten!
Just about time to go home.
I guess I've been hanging out with you folks for a week now. :-)
I don't mind some of the posts from folks looking to help "their" game succeed -- but we're asking folks to like or follow -- these other games need money to attain SG.
