Wait, we're buying the guys a fridge or something? I want to help!

This one is pretty swank. Puppy magnets are cheap, right?



We're buying Rorie a fridge so his suboptimal Coke temperature problem can finally be solved.

Some of us agreed to adorn it with not only puppy stickers, but Apple stickers, maybe a dog plushie, and some other shenanigans.

If I didn't know any better Brad being Brad with cooking the lizards would seem staged to me.

notes that you have to watch them to make sure they're cooked properly, keeps wandering off after throwing them down.

his obliviousness to the savages around him while talking about how he should restart so he could find some was incredible. prime Brad. good stuff.
 
"Oh man this is a heavy one. Looks like it's for Rorie."
*Rorie called over, starts walking towards camera*
"Cool! Hey, looks like it's from some nice folks at NeoG-"
*Brad knocks Rorie to the ground, picks up fridge, throws through window*
 
Yeah, I'm not sure I can do Sat/Sun, transferring money into my PayPal traditionally has been slow if the weekend was involved . Guessing it will show up around Monday. Don't want to slow you guys down, though, especially since we have more than enough already. Guess I'll find out if you decided to proceed.

How much were you gonna pitch in?
 
I'll pitch in $20-30 on saturday. I'm sure I'll have money on my PayPal by then.

edit: Thought that The Forest Unfinished was pretty great. Showed off the game in a good way, made me want to buy it.

10€, so ~13$. Not an earth-shattering amount, I'm afraid.

Let me see if I can cover for you now, you can transfer it to me using PayPal later.


Edit: Done. $13.00. You can transfer to me later on, when your PayPal account is ready. Meanwhile, double check with Aaron, if the fund is already transferred. There should be message stating that I'm covering it for you.
 
Oh I don't think I can handle the whole staff posting their favorite Ryan quick looks all day. I'm getting a little misty over here.
 
Epic Yarn quicklook is on the front page now with message from Alex.

I hope they will all do that, it's a great way to remember Ryan.

Yeah, no lie, I saw the thumbnail for "Letter from the Editor" on the front page, and I got flashbacks from when I used to get in trouble as a kid.

"IT WASN'T ME DAD! IT WAS THE INTERNET!"

hmm, maybe. Personally I have a clear conscience. Like when someone suggested we all donate to apologise for internet abuse. I understand the gesture but fuck that. I didn't abuse anyone. The most anyone ever got from me was mild sarcasm. I am not even sure being a fan and occasionally posting on the site forums make me part of the "community". Like a football fan (soccer) apologising for hooligans or idiots racist chanting.

Is there going to be a livestream today? Nothing on the ticker.

Yup, confirmed yesterday. Free for everyone too, not a premium thing.

This isn't an apology. It's a thank you for dealing with all the community shit caused by actions and tweets out of his control. Not just the last few days, but all the chat stuff in the past too.

Also, doing something equal parts nice and dumb (okay, maybe not equal parts) for one of the staff seems like a great way to remember Ryan.

Where did they confirm exactly? Must've missed it. :o

Jeff on mixlr, but maybe elsewhere too. Didn't say when it would start either.

Cool, thanks duder! I'll PM you as soon as the money is transferred.

@Aaron: Credit me with my GAF name, should be sufficient.
 
25 bucks sent over.

Should be able to get him something good or even better something dumb.

Are we filling it? If so we need to get him some Irn Bru, even if just to mess with Jeff

Adding you to my notes so I won't forget.

We are up to $352 now. Damn.

Also the animation that plays before you log into paypal creeps me out.

No, sorry if it wasn't clear, this was in the reference to making a donation to a cause that was suggested - nothing to do with Rorie and his fridge. I understand that fine.
 
I'd love to chip in on this whole refrigerator thing, but this $770 car repair bill I just got this morning says sorry duders.
 
A magnetic dog toy for the Fridge?
