Request you donate ...

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

If you have money in the paypal account already, then you don't need the card.

So how come I get a message saying:

"To send money instantly, please add a credit card or debit card to your account"? I'm sure this is my error somehow.

Maybe its a new rule that you have to have something linked to your account.

Tell you what. I'll be buying a DVD from you as soon as I buy my kids their gifts. When I send you the money order for the amount of the DVD, I can enclose an extra 10 or 20 dollars. Would it be asking too much of you Shane, to donate that extra money for me?

The DVDs are as far as I've ever asked for money or donations - and you get a damn decent product for the cash (I think - maybe I'm wrong). While I'm helping myself a bit getting Dragon's Lair on my GP2x - I'm also helping out Team Daphne (good folks that feel even more guilty than I do asking for money) who have always been fans and supporters of the show as well as other people who would really love Pocket Dragon's Lair.

A) Not trying to sound like a suck up or anything but the DVD collections are well worth the money (even if I am missing Year 5 lol).

B) Even though I don't have a GP2x at the time I donated as someone not that long ago said for the amount of work that goes into the emulation along with the amount of fun we get out of them I don't mind giving a little something back.

I must admit that at this juncture I am confounded.

While I understand - even applaud the support for independent developers, I see a trend of naivety in the selection of what causes one chooses to support.

From what I have gathered based on this thread, it seems that the possibility of 'playing'... er, "games" that few in reality actually enjoy (if we must be honest - they ain't games as such, ok?), ...leaves me stymied.

Given my post asking if anyone has donated (http://www.monroeworld.com/forums/sh...68&postcount=1) and the 549 views, and 48 responses, not ONE person has claimed to have donated. Sad really.

Priorities.

I could go on, but choose to leave it as it stands - it really will not matter what I say - And I can be quite the dumbass.

PS:

Consider that I paid $54 for the year 1-5 DVD, the $45 savings I could have gotten from holding out - and now donating a mere $10 leaves me...cold (and subject to you're partisanship and frankly - bribery). Backroom politics or special interest groups - I think we all just got a lesson in it.

This is not bait, just how the situation makes me feel.

Only have one word for you unfortunately:

******!


Shane, frankly I don't know why you bother defending yourself against this irrelevant, misinformed dribble.

I bought my CDs and DVDs from the show to support ths show not to get the content. I have all of the shows, except for 2000 and below, already. For whatever reason you bought the archives what does it matter if Shane decides to give some away.

Pull your head out of your ar** turbo2xs. If you don't want to donate money to Daphne then don't. Do you stamp your little feet and hold your breath when McDonalds is giving away free cheese burgers as part of their promotions just because you bought a Big Mac?

SOunds good .. I'll do that.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Thank you. I owe ya twice, man. Maybe for Christmas, I'll send you something unique, like a Bonsai Tree, hehe. Give me a few days or so to do this. I gotta get my daughter the Wizard of Oz DVD, and an Elmo doll (perhaps) for my son. And then I'll set aside enough for the DVD and donation. Hopefully, this donation doesn't have to get to the Daphne Team by a certain day, does it?

[Vladamire Steelwolf]

Hey Shane, think we could get an update, maybe a list of how many people donated so far (so those who haven't yet donated will know that there are still X amount of chances to get a Y5 DVD for their donation and those of us that have will know that our donation has been counted)?
