Post by: pointdablame on July 17, 2005, 05:37:28 pm: damn that is so awesome. I want one, just never have the spare cash to spend on their Limited Prints.

Not to mention they sell out in like 3 seconds flat.

So when we made the first print we made 300 and that obviously was not enough. So this time we made 750 and once again we underestimated you guys. The plan right now is to take the next print run up to 1000. We want to be careful though because at some point they stop being "limited". On the other hand I want to satisfy as many of you as I can. ThinkGeek told us that at one point they were receiving more than 30 orders a second. In fact once the prints were sold out a small batch of orders still went through. I am proud to say that we were prepared for that this time.

Post by: Felsir on August 01, 2005, 01:59:35 pm: First click SirPoonga's links, then visit these links for more (background) reading pleasure:

Wikipedia entry with lots of info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Arcade_%28comic%29)
Wikipedia - section Recurring characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Arcade_%28comic%29#Recurring_characters) (halfway down references to the Cardboard Tube Samurai).

If you're into gaming you should really check out Penny-Arcade. Tycho and Gabe are allround gamers so occasionally there are arcade references (Gabe's Pacman T-Shirt is a prime example).
