Re: another kickstarter project
Another great (well, imo) Kickstarter project is the Jack Houston one. A stop-motion pulp sci-fi inspired adventure about an astronaut. Looks good. At 51% funding at the moment and 35 days to go, which is promising, but the pledges seem to have come to a grinding halt.

Re: Report your Tex-promoting experiences
I changed my avatar on various forums, posted about the Kickstarter on all kinds of Dutch sites (games related, computer related, detective/thriller books related) and international adventure gaming sites and changed my 'greeting' message on my Nintendo 3DS (spotpass). I never got any response but d...

It's a nice enough game, but I had a lot of trouble with the shooting sequences. Others had no trouble at all, so it may just be that I am particularly clumsy with this kind of actiony stuff, but I feel I should warn you guys it's not pure point-and-click. I'm not sure the demo contains one of these...

With ebay you have to be careful. Look out for "refurbished" ones, stay away from them... These are usually either FAKE (and illegal) Chinese clones (they work, for a while, but not for long and obviously Nintendo will not service them once they stop working), or amateurishly repaired ones...

Re: Kickstarter Videos Subtitle Files, Translate + Spread!
This was a lot more work than I anticipated. I've finished the pitch video text translation but it's probably too late now, right?Sai wrote:Sure, I could add it to Youtube for you.

Cub, I'm amazed as usual by your work, and humbled by the shout-out. Thank you for that – it was a wonderful surprise! Literally an LOL moment! :lol: Guess I'd better get cracking on things if Pixar's going to make that movie in 30 years! :) I feel I'm missing something, James. Where's the shout-ou...

Re: random comments (if you really need to)
Reminds me of a true story the author Jasper Fforde posted the other day... A librarian sees two men with camera equipment, a woman and a large dog all disappear into the women's toilets together. She goes after them and tells them they should go somewhere else, disgusting people that they are. Afte...

What is your take on this? I am totally taking the risk and going for the big box edition for Tex and Space Venture (as well as Jane Jensen, Double Fine and Wasteland). It is up to the various developers to decide what value they will put on the customs forms but I'm sure they won't get us into tro...

The rules for the Netherlands are similar. Anything under 22 euro isn't taxed at all. Between 22 and 150 you only pay BTW (VAT currently 19%). It is however possible that the transporter (TNT/courier) adds an additional cost "inklaringskosten" or transaction fee (12,50 or 17 euro depending...
