I wish I'd seen the torch thing before you made the purchase Idle. https://www.jrcigars.com/brand/vertigo-cigar-lighters I have the 2 and 3 flame versions, and you can solder copper pipe with them.
I have an experience with a dual-flame. It needed top quality gas and we have no such shit here. There's always water of something left so it clogged.
This, on the other hand, works with the most common, hated and ugly lighters as refills. Which I can refill too but not really needed.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T06:38:41-04:00
@Trinkets: Not this week. We had someone leave and we are down to to staff and the supervisor. A new temp is supposed to come today but that means that I have to work on some of the more time consuming stuff. Thus the arsehole will be at my desk more often. *sigh*
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T06:39:46-04:00
Welcome back Cha.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T07:09:22-04:00
I haven't played Fluxx myself. Looks really fun. Don't have many to actually play it with though.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-22T09:21:08-04:00
Oh man! That game just looks like trouble. Too many of the few I play games with are A.D.D., and I have OCPD (the P is for personality!), so a game like this where the rules change, and playing with people who can barely keep their head in a game to start with... bad news! lol!
Jared Brown 2015-07-22T09:21:23-04:00
@Geist @Evan Fluxx is a blast. I own star fluxx and it is one of the more played games in our household
Well I assume you have to play it with the right people. Not every game is for everybody, but there is always a game for somebody.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T09:30:15-04:00
@Jared: Isn't it a great game! I fell in love with it the first time I played it.
Jared Brown 2015-07-22T10:35:50-04:00
@geist @Evan my wife is not a gamer of any sorts. Though she will play Tsuro with us. When I got Fluxx she asked what this was and we sat down and played. The fact that there are really no rules made her enjoy it even more.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T10:54:23-04:00
@Jared: Actually, the rules can change with every person's turn. That is why I love it so much. If I'm not winning I can try to hose everyone else! The perfect revenge game.
Doug Lou 2015-07-22T11:18:43-04:00
Anyone get their shipped yet?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T11:26:10-04:00
@Doug: Please check the EK Facebook and Twitter account. They have the dates for shipping there.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T11:27:05-04:00
@Doug
Did you get an email with a tracking number saying it was shipped?
Or an update saying they are shipped?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T11:27:52-04:00
So I def need to get one when preorders open.
I'm a Kerrygold fan and it's soft enough ten seconds out of the fridge. But this is so cool for those OTHER workarounds.
Yay, finally able to come in and say hello today. How are the kittens doing today?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T14:37:30-04:00
Hello GM. Lots of work today, yes?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T14:38:54-04:00
@Jared: Fluxx doesn't start out long at all. It's pick one play one. It only starts to get longer per turn when the rules cards ask you to calculate a certain action.
Yes...aaaand there's a tornado warning for the city, and surrounding area that was just announced 15min ago.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T15:24:46-04:00
Stay safe GM. If I look up and see you walking down my street, I'll know how you got here.
Allen Wright 2015-07-22T16:57:49-04:00
@Jared, @Geist, @Evan - Agreed! Fluxx is an awesome creation that we whip out at parties where kids are present and we can't play Cards Against Humanity. Hope you might get to meet the Looneys (husband / wife creators of Fluxx) at a con or bookstore someday, they are good people.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-22T17:13:05-04:00
@Allen Wright: I have met the Looneys. The wife came to one of Fluxx meetup in D.C. and got to play some of the demo games they were working on.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-07-22T17:18:04-04:00
Idle, you got your blowtorch-lighter thing shipped? Be warned, they only take certain types of lighters; those big, tall, squared ones. I still haven't gone to get one yet.
Ah, detasseling was pretty good today; I just drove a carrier.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-07-22T17:20:23-04:00
Geist, you won't have to worry about that. GM doesn't live in Kansas.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T18:06:24-04:00
From Exploding Kittens twitter :
THAT'S RIGHT, FOLKS!
Your Kittens are scheduled to ship NEXT WEEK!
But we cannot make an more address changes :(
Powers of Tesla 2015-07-22T18:29:58-04:00
Also from Exploding Kittens on Twitter...
If your address is wrong, FEAR NOT!
Setting up mail forwarding is a good backup, but we will make sure you get your Kittens no matter what.
If you can't get your Kittens forwarded by your post office, reply to the email you'll get when we ship. We'll fix you up!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-07-22T19:30:25-04:00
Shipping next week, eh? Taken at face value, assume they start shipping the 31, allow two weeks domestic shipping for the massive load, so by mid-September most US backers should have them in hand. Like others have said, I plan to be off this forum until I get mine -- I don't want the secret prize surprise ruined.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-07-22T19:33:09-04:00
Meanwhile, I got my "masterwork" dice box -- pfft. POS is what it was. After several hours of work, and a few more bucks, I made mine nice enough to be acceptable. I wish Cheetah-butt was here so I could lament the wood-working in them to him -- he'd get a kick out of what those folks considered good quality. Funnier yet, after two weeks of customer complaints, the creative team has not weighed in or apologized, or anything. Bad service, bad Kickstarter creative team.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T19:35:04-04:00
The secret surprise had better not be sleeves. I already bought some just for this game.
Al Cox 2015-07-22T19:37:14-04:00
I just updated my mailing address!
Hope I'm not too late, got a confirmation so I think it's cool :)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T19:44:17-04:00
That sucks, GCoD. I'm fairly happy with my prototype for my dice trays. Very usable for storing my Dice Masters dice.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-07-22T19:46:28-04:00
If anyone cares, I ripped the boxes a new one in the comments section for that KS campaign. Lots of text pointing out what they did wrong.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T19:46:29-04:00
@Al, a confirmation of what, that they changed your address?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T19:47:16-04:00
*headed over to read comments*
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-22T20:06:45-04:00
*Comes back*
Wow. Loooked at the pics the one person put of his box. I guess I'm not sure why they would send the boxes out like that. And they weren't sealed? That's just rediculous. Bunch of amateurs.
They send an update out about the production and Gen Con statuses....nothing about how they are going to handle the problems of the boxes they have already sent and people received.
Jungwoo 2015-07-23T02:03:55-04:00
When will Canada receive our shipment? cause I have a bit of a problem with my address and I may need to change it...am I too late to do so?
Hi Jungwoo - It doesn't hurt to send them an address change to see if it's possible- support@explodingkittens.com
They will start shipping out next week! No shipping just yet. If you do get an email from them with the tracking info - reply to that email and see if they can change the address. As a backup - try to set up some mail-forwarding system with any shipping companies that ship to you.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-07-23T05:53:43-04:00
And this is why I am glad I have a post office box that all of my packages get sent to. No matter where I move, my shipping address stays the same
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-07-23T07:25:53-04:00
Have you moved a lot, Geist?
@Creeper, I don't know if sending them a message will do Jungwoo any good. Did you see the Exploding kittens tweets yesterday?
THAT'S RIGHT, FOLKS!
Your Kittens are scheduled to ship NEXT WEEK!
But we cannot make an more address changes :(
Delryth 2015-07-23T07:50:51-04:00
Hey there. I sent an email twice over the past month about changing my address but I got no confirmation or anything. How do I find out if this went through alright?

@Trinkets: I've moved 3 times in the last year. I have a box at the UPS store. You can write the post office box number like an apartment number so when you have a package that needs to be signed for, they will do it for you. The federal postal service doesn't do that.

Thanks Mark!
@Geist:
work with deadlines, get home and fall into bed.
Then up the next morning to do it all over again.
Are you sure you are not trapped in a movie called "Groundhog Day"?
- Nope, because then the comments here would be the same, over and over again....

Good morning corps!
Good to see us Dr. P!
Or even you...
Indeed!
Getting about that time! Can't wait to get my box. I got two other people a box as well. Gonna play it with my Fluxx group.
I haven't played Fluxx myself. Looks really fun. Don't have many to actually play it with though.
Oh man! That game just looks like trouble. Too many of the few I play games with are A.D.D., and I have OCPD (the P is for personality!), so a game like this where the rules change, and playing with people who can barely keep their head in a game to start with... bad news! lol!

Ninja'd by Geist.
BTW @Doug the answer is no.
Their what? I got my blowtorch shipped.
I thought Elan wasn't giving out cards until we pledge our first born?
Meow
Howdy!
Creeper! I'm still waiting for that precious review, you know.
Hiya DDD.
How is everyone in kitten land?
I can only speak for myself, but yeah, pretty good considering. Thanks for asking.
Considering? The general state of the world?
The general state of me.
Hi DDD! How are you?
And idle- it works Perfectly! I adorrrrre it!
I also received my pons and magnetic paper. (Kickstarted projects) Love them all.
Creeper!!
Triple D!!!
How's yous guys doin'?
Doin' good.
Finally finished up work on an animation teaser vid for an IndieGoGo campaign!
So I def need to get one when preorders open.
I'm a Kerrygold fan and it's soft enough ten seconds out of the fridge. But this is so cool for those OTHER workarounds.
Wondering about the shipping from Aussie land though. EU and all, but on the other side of the devil's zit.
All these comments are going to make Zem jealous.
Or at least perturbed
Is Zem in hiding so he doesn't get spoilers on the special Trinkets during shipping phase?
I don't think he should be bidding yet. Shipping isn't until next week.
*hiding
What is the project for, @DDD?
The one you did the animation for. Or is it a secret?
It's for an animated series that I'm helping with. You can check out the teaser here if you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Will check it out in a little bit.
@Giest my wife is the type of person that if the rules starting off are too long she wont play it.
Yay, finally able to come in and say hello today. How are the kittens doing today?
Hello GM. Lots of work today, yes?
