"the real beta". Not what I expected.

Feh, figured it wasn't real. But, after that vaguely positive and uplifting bit of philosophy, I can't bring myself to hate him for this. Probably because I'm a sentimental idiot. Or he's an ass and I'm too sleep deprived to realize it. Either way, at least it is over.

Honestly, I would have preferred a horrible prank. My schmaltzy anticlimax tolerance is pretty low.

[penguinofhonor]

I think I'm sexually attracted to that deck of cards

[SomeStupidGuy]

Yeah, me too.
Just hope that if it isn't real, it's at least not a virus. I mean I'll laugh my ass off if it turns out to be some trolling, especially if it's done well.

Commence laughter ==>

But it wasn't done well, it was boring. I mean really now, can't a guy be mocked properly anymore?
Also, did he really think that people'd think it's actually sburb?
'Cause if so I'm a bit insulted.
Now I slightly hope that when 2014 rolls around, Hussie just sends everyone that instead of the game. Oh, and a video of him frolicking with hundreds of horses, dudes got to spend that money on something.

I'm predicting a shitty ACS game made entirely of comic assets, with the most elaborate horse ranching simulator ever developed as the token minigame.

[Descan]

So yeah, I pledged to the Slickpak. Sounds so dirty.

What can I say? The Crew is my weakness ;_;

[CJ1145]

I want those fucking pins.

[Cerol Lenslens]

Yeah, me too.

Oh, I agree. It was an insane letdown. No crazy virus, strange file, or whatever. Not even hidden white text on the page reading "SUCKERS"... The wizard was just a little man behind a curtain. That's why I feel so trolled.

I certainly didn't think it was going to be SBURB, but I was actually expecting something, not "Knock knock. Who's there? Hi, my name is Poopsmith and this 'knock knock' joke was a social experiment..." It's a giant shaggy dog story.

And admit it - the horse-frolicking video would be totally worth it.

[Descan]

So uh, the text says the pack is 125 dollars.

The side panel and my pledge say it's 130 dollars.

I live in Canada.

Do I pledge 135? THIS IS CONFUSING.

I'm guessing it is saying 130 on the side panel and pledge on account of the shipping.

[Descan]

Hm.

That'd make sense if the pledges and side-panel are linked to the country of origin?

Can someone American confirm the side panel says 125, and someone non-Canadian confirm it says 135?

[Aqizzar]

No, see, he decided to do it in a shitty convoluted way.  The $130 is the stated price plus the mandatory $5 shipping for any package over $50.  The money on the map is the extra you have to pay outside of America (and the Solomon Islands) on top of that.  So yes, you need to pay $135.

Also, million smackeroonies on the board.

[Rolan7]

How the heck is Hussie supposed to build up the artifact grist necessary for a Sburb game when we keep giving him money??  This is all backwards.

[Liber celi]

Gonna upgrade my pledge for the Slickpak. It's not like I am a moneyless student who has to pay a lot of extra shipping fees to OH WAIT A MOMENT FUCK I AM

"the real beta". Not what I expected.

I kinda missed this whole thing. Did that guy claim to have a SBURB-beta? Weak joke.

Dirty Homestuck Confessions

I'm afraid to ask. Someone else please ask.

Don't go there. Please don't.

I went there, back when Hussie mentioned an almost identical blog in a Q&A. Then I laughed for like ten minutes straight.
You guys just can't take a dumb&dirty joke.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Pretty sure it is a joke. About 95% of it, at last. Yes. I am sure.

[Johnfalcon99977]

Just going to say I called the whole "Real beta" thing.

[Kedly]

After witnessing people's reactions to numerous "end of world" scenarios (y2k, 2012) It shouldn't surprise me that some people thought the beta might be real... but surprise me it did xD
