The Wait: Ended

Interestingly enough, I got my shipping notice the same day as my last post. Maybe PB was watching? *shrug*

Obviously I've received my material since then. One showdown, with all the trimmings.

The tube holds the posters I ordered as part of the kickstarter.

Now, as I mentioned in the previous post, I wasn't terribly worried about them taking their time because I won't be able to work on the models until the winter break. That hasn't changed, so as nice as it is to finally get the package it's unfortunately getting shelved for the time being.

Oh well. Hopefully I'll have more to post in December.

The Wait, Continued

So, it's quite a bit past July, isn't it? Palladium started shipping pledges out in September, but they're doing it by order size. It makes sense - the majority of pledges were just the game itself, perhaps with a couple of add-on items. Still, it can be a bit annoying - kind of like how time seems to slow down the closer you get to an event you're excited for.

It's all good, though - given my university workload it's not like I would really be able to work on the models until December anyway.

As we get closer to R-Day, I'm finding myself considering various extra-curricular activities such as a pod-cast. Pretty simple concept - just myself and a friend or two initially nerding out about RRT. I figure unit analysis, tactics discussions, battle report analysis, and community news (upcoming tournaments, conventions, etc) would be the common things discussed. Granted, these would also be  perfectly valid for a blog format, but I wonder if the interaction between people would be more interesting and entertaining. Give some life to the text, so to speak.

Anyway, back into the depths of OH GOD EVERYTHING IS DUE ... hopefully my next post will be both sooner and with the news that I have my models.
