The geek attic of memories

I’m moving house Monday. Good timing eh? Actually not.  It comes between the launch of GSB, my birthday and another thing…

Anyway, I’ve lived here ten years, and it’s time to empty the attic. Stuff that got put in the attic got put there because it was irrelevant ten year ago, so it’s ooolllddddd. (like me). but it’s pretty funny finding old stuff I had ages back. I found a keyboard layout, carefully hand written for an old game, which I was confused about until I saw that C mapped to Luxor and V mapped to Morkin…

Amongst the fun was a suiprisingly huge collection of LPs. That’s what we caleld mp3 playlists back before you were born. I’ve given most of them to a charity shop. My need to treasure a Prince LP or the beach boys greatest hits is now behind me. Anyway, I’m keeping my collection of old heavy metal picture discs and a few other classics. Here are some of the memorable ones.

Plus there is always the star wars stuff. (click either pic to enlarge BTW). Here’s some of the rare stuff. You might think you outgeek me with your collection of Episode II memorabilia, but gaze upon my George Lucas autograph (just one page in my book) with envy. Also check out the compliments slip from Elstree.  1,000 geek points if you can work out why it’s especially collectible and unusual. Also check out darth vaders autograph, and a picture of me aged 13ish outside the first UK showing of Return of the Jedi at bottom right. Ah memories…

The other thing?

GSB will be on steam from 16th November :D Yay!

  1. If the compliments slip from Elstree is what I think it is, is it because it lists the title as REVENGE of the Jedi?

  2. Nice collection!

    Woot! Steam, yay!

    Is there anyway for people who already have the game to get the steam version for free?

    2nd’d! Any answer? That would be awesome. If not i’ll just buy another key. I love having all my games in steam, and i like this game this much.

  4. The demo sitting in my downloads folder for a few days, patiently waiting for me to slip up so it can put the finishing touches on convincing me to buy this game.

    That it is now on Steam makes matters even worse.

    I vaguely remember hearing that developers aren’t allowed to go into detail about how much money Valve takes out of the sale of the game. If this is true, it obviously complicates this issue, but if selling this game to me on Steam is going to net you less than it otherwise would let me know and give me a paypal link so I can make up the difference. If you can’t disclose figures, give me a link anyways and I’ll just throw some money in.

    I’ve seriously enjoyed the open, communicative nature of this blog. I’m not sure what to think about the game (haven’t played the demo, but that one exists is a huge plus!), but being able to watch the game grow and respond to input on this blog has been interesting and novel enough to be worth the cost of the game.
