Hey Nick! What are those "finer literary works" you speak of? That doesn't sound like anything within my skill set.
I recall something like -
Coming out of the lurking corner to reply here.
I talked to the CI factory owner the other day and I can assure you
that things are happening. I have pre-ordered and my game number is
007. I was the first order but I liked that number and they were happy
to take my deposit and oblige.
I can also assure you that the quality is very high. I have ordered
from them before. I needed a PC power supply and nuggy had a spare one
on a shelf. Except for the fan not working and a missing plug, it was
better than the original part. Funny thing - I accidentally dropped it
later in the afternoon, but the pre-applied protective space-age
silver laminate strips (a custom option) provided more than adequate
shock resistance for the case. It was virtually unharmed.
They took me on a tour of the operation which took a big chunk of a
quarter hour to cover. I must say I was impressed! I cannot relay any
facts, not because I fear betraying their trust but because the finale
of the tour was a slick, high-tech machine they call a "kegorator".
After we got to that point I don't remember the finer details, but I
can say that after the conclusion of the tour I felt my concerns
gradually slip away. By noon I no longer had any worries. Even non-
pinball issues seemed to trouble me less than before.
They did tell me that the laminate strips I previously described might
be suitable on parts of the CI game too, but that it would not be
provided on the game as "stock". However, they assured me that it is
available locally in most areas, so I plan to keep an eye open for a
local source. Seems like it would be handy for a few other things too.
Kind of a "handyman's secret weapon" I would think.
I am looking forward to more updates as much as everybody else. Keep
up the good work guys. If the game release is delayed, maybe you can
send me one of those kegorators to tide me over.
vinito Or something along those lines....
