@Thomas, you should be receiving a reply soon. That's about the right time frame. They also may have just addressed the issue without replying. Don't be surprised if your stuff just shows up! Their on it, they really want everyone to get their stuff!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-28T09:31:08-04:00
Up and at 'em a little earlier today, eh BaKhan?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T09:34:22-04:00
Well, one can't be too predictable! ;) Good morning sir!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-28T10:14:54-04:00
Yes, phone, I clearly meant to use the Dutch word for THE in the middle of my English sentence, instead of the English word (get) that I typed. Thank you for fixing my mistake.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T10:19:21-04:00
@Trinkets, that is pretty epic! Not sure I understand it at all, but I think thats the point, right?
@Trinkets: My eyes hurt when I stepped outside this morning from the smoke. Was tempted to turn around and go back inside, call my boss to tell her I wasn't going to be able to come in, then lounge around the house doing stuff I needed to do(laundry/cleaning/etc).
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-28T10:49:24-04:00
Whoa, that sounds awful.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-28T10:49:57-04:00
The smoke part. Not so much the laundry and cleaning.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T10:57:31-04:00
The smoke is terrible! Well, hopefully it will be gone by the end of the weekend!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T11:36:10-04:00
I thought it was funny because random, but not just coherent enough to play on that magical crossover of random yet sensical.
I miss last year when I could wake up at 10:30 or even later on fridays and only had one class. At least I have an hour break in between each, but I won't get to eat until 2:30. Good thing I had a huge breakfast because they had alot of great stuff out for once. Including donuts!!!
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-28T11:50:01-04:00
Good morning everyone. Just taking a quick moment to drop in and say hi. Now back to work. I have custard to prepare and puddings to bake!
Jesus I just saw the Amazon.ca price for the game, ouch! $49.99 for each set, that seems a little high
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T11:52:30-04:00
Save some for me. Because food. No other reason this time other than that it sounds delicious.
You know what? Everybody who makes food and posts about it here, send a sample to my address at: M. Philson 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T11:54:36-04:00
House Arrest: Buy them on amazon.com! It's only 40$! ;)
but 40 usd to cad is 52.97, so you technically save 3 dollars. Stop complaining!
Art 2015-08-28T11:55:26-04:00
I haven't received my shipment yet and it said it was shipping soon almost a month ago. I need some help!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T11:57:03-04:00
Art: did you get notification of it shipping like on the FedEx tracking that said it was delivered? Contact the mail service. Otherwise contact explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool . They should be able to hook you up.
Shhh I'm not complaining! I just never noticed it before, seems really expensive
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T11:58:39-04:00
Art: Oh, and remember: If you contact support, it may take over a week for you to get a notification, if they even reply.
Thomas E. 2015-08-28T11:59:19-04:00
@BaKhan yes but i need the tracking number :(
My postman isn't really trustfull.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T12:03:05-04:00
@Thomas, hmmm okay, well if you don't hear anything by monday I would send them another email. I know it seems like a pain, but they will help you!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T12:10:56-04:00
Yeah, they've helped everyone who's asked them better than they hoped. It just takes some time for them to get to your email of the thousand or so per day with 3 people answering it.
@BaKhan: Did you hear why the air quality was said to be worse than Beijing?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-28T13:12:04-04:00
@Trinkets I don't have newer games. I bought the Elder Scrolls Anthology for PC, but haven't done much with it yet. Certainly haven't played Skyrim yet.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-28T13:13:16-04:00
Well look at you all. Being helpful and enjoying each others conversations & shit. Makes me wish I had time to hang.
Hard sauce is done and cooling, puddings need another 20 minutes or so, then I allow them to cool enough to handle, pack my crap up and head for Kenosha Wisconsin to compete. See ya'll tomorrow.
@LZ: Probably wouldn't hurt...though I don't have access to one. But we're sitting here, on the third floor of this building, with no windows that open, smelling the smoke.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T13:40:56-04:00
They sent a demo of this new kickstarter to a youtuber I like to watch and he used it for several things. Looks pretty cool! It's like a multi-tool all of its own class; 3D printing pen, soldering iron, wood burner, and styrofoam cutter. Definitely cool to watch, though I doubt I could ever afford something like this.
It got so bad here that we didn't see the sun for days, it felt like the apocalypse was coming, so creepy. I couldn't leave the house because of the air quality
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T14:13:23-04:00
@GM, no, I haven't, but I assuming it has something to do with all the fricken forest fires! It would be nice to see the sun. I keep thinking it looks like rain... damn smoke!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T14:15:36-04:00
@GM, a spider! What? So how does that throw off the results? Spider farts?
@BaKhan: The instrument(to my knowledge) draws air through a tube, and senses the number of particulates in the sample. Having a spider in there, blocks part of the tube, thus making it seem like there is less "clean" air going through. That's my understanding at least.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T14:34:59-04:00
I'm still going with spider farts!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T14:38:06-04:00
I can just see the little son of a b*tch sitting in there laughing. He he he, fart, he he he, fart..
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T15:40:07-04:00
You could have come to get me HA, then we could have gone down there together...though you would need to take a solo trip here...but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T17:26:31-04:00
Then come down here to get me and I'll come along. It's a bit longer of a drive, but you'll have GM to keep you company.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T17:29:58-04:00
@GM, thats very thoughtful of you! ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-28T17:30:21-04:00
Of course you would be subjecting her to all the smoke and deadly spider farts!
@HA: PAX runs all weekend, doesn't it? We still have time. It's only ~13 hours from Maple Ridge to my house, so probably 16-ish hours(ferry ride included) to get here from Vancouver Island, right? ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T18:23:23-04:00
Sssshh... be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting mattresses!
Aaw, I wanted to go! Oh, and the 20 hours is likely just one way. Just fly out here.
Playing a game with my roommate and his friend again. They really like the game. Using the NSFW deck this time. ;)
as a Canadian believe me when I saw its even better from this side of the border
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:03:39-04:00
Am I the only person here who doesn't take to every trend of mockery they see and takes delight in following it and making fun of prominent people (who alot of the time are actually pretty clever, but that's not what media choose to highlight)? Yes? Ok. Even the only conservative? Yes? Ok...
Isn't this how revolutions start? Really, I think we need one. America hasn't had a good government since the 80s or so and was only a major world power from the 1910s to the early '90s. We haven't even followed what the founding fathers intended of America since the 1880s or 1890s and the last great president was decades ago. They're getting worse every time. Well, not in a slope, more of a stock-exchange looking graph of how good presidents are.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:04:29-04:00
This is why I want to move to Switzerland. They got their shit figured out.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:06:07-04:00
Politically, culturally, socially, actively, and even geographically.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:09:00-04:00
You don't need to tell me, HA. I'm the last one you need to tell that to!
Chocolate, cheese, clocks, watches, knives... what more could you ask for?! ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-28T22:16:22-04:00
Zem, you're not the only conservative. Maybe the most conservative, but not the only.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-28T22:17:26-04:00
I identify on the moderate side of conservatism. I do think Trump is a clown, though.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:34:36-04:00
I don't know where I am, at the most not much more than moderate, but would it be sacrilege if I said I know several people who are seriously (and not without reason) thinking about voting Trump.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-28T22:44:00-04:00
I know some like that. As long as you're not the one saying that, I don't think you're in danger of getting into sacrilege territory.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:51:16-04:00
I don't pay attention to debates until it's too late and they've already chosen the candidates for the parties. Then I just hate everyone involved and wish it weren't happening.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T22:55:24-04:00
It's mostly because he speaks his mind and has some good points. Really, I don't think anyone is currently fit to win. Actually, I love Douglas Adam's version of the perfect ruler. Anybody who wants power can't be allowed to have it; they'll abuse it for sure. The perfect leader is one who doesn't know he's doing it, nor would he if given the chance. Read the books for more context and why it's so perfect.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-28T22:56:08-04:00
I'm getting better at paying attention earlier. I do wish people would abandon the two-party system, though
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T23:13:45-04:00
The American democratic representative republic system was made in part specifically to make parties impossible, and yet before even 1900, they started popping up. I wish we got back rid of it, but there's way too much money and power in the system to do that without overthrowing the entire system.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-28T23:35:50-04:00
The more I read that, the more I think it sounds weird, but grammatically and in point, it works perfect.
Not to interrupt this super joyous convo- BUT! I am on the floor, and kittykitty and scrunchie are both in the bedroom right now!! Scrunchie is about 3 feet away, laying down. Kittykitty is sitting behind him.
They've been stepping inside from time to time all summer. But for me to lay down next to them! Squeeee!!! It kinda started when scrunchie was dehydrated outside on a really hot day. He didn't move for hours. I went out and he barely lifted head, tongue hanging out. I coaxed him inside with tuna. He hit the tile floor and sprawled out.
I never saw Mr. Brooks, but I've wanted to since its release.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-29T10:47:05-04:00
Good mornin' everyone.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-29T11:54:34-04:00
Top 'o the mornin, PoT, LZ, and TeP!
LZ, I really like Mr. Brooks. It was done pretty well and has some twists and angles that haven't been worn out since then unlike any other good movie. I kind of think of it as Dexter meets Breaking Bad, but I've never seen Dexter and only Breaking Bad because Brook's meticulousness and cleverness reminds me of Walter White.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-29T15:53:17-04:00
Everything (dessert, a potato dish, and the barbeque -chcken, ribs, pork, and brisket) has been submitted for judging. Now we wait until 7pm for the results.
Beer me.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-29T15:53:55-04:00
Sorry, that should have been two desserts.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-29T18:28:03-04:00
Yesterday, I got my reward for another KS project I backed. It's not as much fun as EK, but it's still fun.
I asked for shipping info 10 days ago by sending an email to support@explodingkittens.com .
Still no answer :(
@Thomas, you should be receiving a reply soon. That's about the right time frame. They also may have just addressed the issue without replying. Don't be surprised if your stuff just shows up! Their on it, they really want everyone to get their stuff!
Up and at 'em a little earlier today, eh BaKhan?
Well, one can't be too predictable! ;) Good morning sir!
Good morning to you, sir.
Maybe my favorite pic of all time.
http://imgur.com/0EnoZRN
I don't hét it
Yes, phone, I clearly meant to use the Dutch word for THE in the middle of my English sentence, instead of the English word (get) that I typed. Thank you for fixing my mistake.
@Trinkets, that is pretty epic! Not sure I understand it at all, but I think thats the point, right?
I it get don't.
Also, morning all.
I don't get it either, but I can't stop laughing everyone I see it.
*every time.
Wow. At least my phone doesn't have another language it does that to me in.
How's the smoke/fires up north of the border?
Only one hour and 5 minutes until I can get back to Skyrim!!!!!
I know everyone cooler has newer games, but I only have a ps2 and am borrowing a buddies ps3.
That pic is like Donald Trump to me. I don't get it, but it makes me laugh.
@Trinkets: My eyes hurt when I stepped outside this morning from the smoke. Was tempted to turn around and go back inside, call my boss to tell her I wasn't going to be able to come in, then lounge around the house doing stuff I needed to do(laundry/cleaning/etc).

See we can get along and play nice!
Good luck, PoT!
Sidenote, it's raining like a mother f'r here on the west coast, it's nice. I'd forgotten what it was like.
It smells like smoke...EVERYWHERE! I'll trade you, HA.
Hey i just got rid of the smoke around here, I had my turn
The sky looks yellow because of all the smoke. And eyes start to burn from the smoke when outside. =/
I feel like you should be wearing a respirator
Just one more class in an hour and I'm done for the week.
When somebody in another part of another country feels like you need a respirator...
@LZ: Probably wouldn't hurt...though I don't have access to one. But we're sitting here, on the third floor of this building, with no windows that open, smelling the smoke.

WEEKEND!!! Finally done with it all.
Seeing all the tweets coming in from Pax makes me envious of everyone who's in Seattle. Damn me for thinking one person road trips were boring!
They are
You could have come to get me HA, then we could have gone down there together...though you would need to take a solo trip here...but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. ;)
Then come down here to get me and I'll come along. It's a bit longer of a drive, but you'll have GM to keep you company.

Of course you would be subjecting her to all the smoke and deadly spider farts!
Oh now you come up with a plan!
@HA: PAX runs all weekend, doesn't it? We still have time. It's only ~13 hours from Maple Ridge to my house, so probably 16-ish hours(ferry ride included) to get here from Vancouver Island, right? ;)
So I'd have to leave right now and drive all night? What about Zem we have to factor in the time it would take to pick him up too
Hmm...we might have to ditch him...it would be another 20-22 hours(traffic/construction depending). But don't tell him, until we are back.
Shhh I think he might be listening
Sssshh... be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting mattresses!
Aaw, I wanted to go! Oh, and the 20 hours is likely just one way. Just fly out here.
Playing a game with my roommate and his friend again. They really like the game. Using the NSFW deck this time. ;)
Why don't you just fly to seattle! Have a good time with the NSFW deck
Oh yeah, it's the weekend. Nobody's ever here. That's sad because this is the time everyone has the most time to be messin around and partying!
Sarah Palin is interviewing Donald Trump tonight and my heart is about to burst with excitement and mockery!
as a Canadian believe me when I saw its even better from this side of the border

And there is a kitten outside my door that keeps putting a paw in, then hisses every time I look at her.
Scrunchie is purring!
Kittykitty has laid down now. All it took was some shredded cheee
HOORAY!!! They're warming up to you!
They've been stepping inside from time to time all summer. But for me to lay down next to them! Squeeee!!! It kinda started when scrunchie was dehydrated outside on a really hot day. He didn't move for hours. I went out and he barely lifted head, tongue hanging out. I coaxed him inside with tuna. He hit the tile floor and sprawled out.
Then gave him tuna water, until he felt better. I think they realize house does not equal death trap
Yaaay! for Creeper and all the kittehs!
Yay! Just watched Mr. Brooks with my roommate. He didn't think too much of it, but I love the movie. It's really messed up.
I love weekends; 2:30 and time for bed. I wish I could have a kitty to play with.

I wish I got payed in gum! https://www.youtube.com/watch…
