Curious Artila Sober Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Jeff, I've been playing your games ever since a friend brought Exile to my house on a floppy disk back in 1996. We had to run it in 16 colors, and we couldn't get the mouse to work. We didn't care. We played it for hours on that day, and I've been playing every single game you've released since then, and doing all I can to introduce people to them. Fast-forward to now, I'm serving in the US Air Force. I am a good way through a deployment in Afghanistan, and I wanted to let you know that Avernum: Escape From the Pit released just as I was leaving my home in Japan. I cannot express to you how much a difference a simple game can make. No matter what happens out here, I've been so happy to come back to my room. I have a brand new laptop that has no problems running Skyrim or Deus Ex, but I played your game exclusively until every sidequest was finished. I just wanted to let you know that you have shaped the way I play, and evaluate other games. Your work is the yardstick by which I measure value in games, and I look through your catalogue with fond memories. Getting to play another new release just as I get sent to my own Avernum of sorts made my situation a little more tolerable. If I make it out of here, and I'm ever in Seattle, I'd like to buy you a beer. Thank you, Jeff, for the memories, and for all the fun. Signed, An Airman in Afghanistan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That's a lovely letter. I trust someone with the ability to do so will bring it to Jeff's attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mod. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Your best bet to have Jeff read this (and he should) is to email it to him. Jeff doesn't really ready his forums, he made a blog post just about why he shouldn't. He responded to my email before pretty quickly, so I recommend you email it to him.

Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 IIRC, Phil and Kaja Foglio were at the AFK once for some event or other, and since then I have daydreamed of running into Jeff there, shaking his hand, and buying him a beer. (The AFK is a local nerd bar in Everett, which is near Seattle) Edit: Previously Beer and Motor Oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Bu-Wha-WHAT THE HELL? ._. The guy above me stole one of my quotes. Has he even been a brony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That's the sort of thing that can be sorted out by PM. Please don't hijack this thread for it. —Alorael, who is sure Jeff is glad to get things like this. The internet is so full of complaints and self-righteousness that a little appreciation can never go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes. And since he has a 3,000 member number, he might just get to claim that YOU stole the quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Dire Hobbit Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It's kinda cool that all Spiderweb games will fit on a flash memory stick. No matter where in the world you go, you can take them with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk SamSniped Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 My 8GB flashdrive could probably fit all of the stuff it has on it right now (which includes the SW games I have bought), plus CoD4, Civ4 Complete, and have room to spare Post #XVI of the challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yes. Everyone is convinced here to be pleased. Of course, Jeff would like a very satisfied customer. Especially by appreciating his work. Anyway, good luck in Afghanistan... -------- Wait, so you could use a .gif image?, Nightwatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You could/can, but the mods have respectfully asked people not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
