Looks like Eurocast is nearly unlocked. Start writing in with your questions now! (you can PM me, Daan or even Killer_Man_Jaro!)

For the record, I do plan on donating something along the lines of Wii Shop/DSiWare/eShop downloads, as I historically do - however, I'm waiting for the end of the updates this week to see if we're lucky enough to get a gifting feature in the eShop.

But no, I won't be donating a Wii U.

Did somebody ask about a stretch goal?

Quote

@crosstawk: @DonaldMick $5000. If we go $1000 over our goal, I will divulge the entirety of the infamous Red Velvet story on the final segment.

NWR_Karl · « **Reply #54 on:** November 09, 2012, 12:52:14 PM »

To elaborate, this is what will happen:

Upon reaching $5000, which is $1000 more than our 100% goal, I will release the URL of the "lost" drunkcast from PAX East 2011 which, up until now, has only been circulated among the NWR staff for our own amusement. This podcast is the origin of the term "Red Velvet" and has the original telling of the accompanying story, along with the reactions of the rest of the crew as I tell it.

This is actually a way better deal for you guys since, in addition to hearing the original telling of Red Velvet, you'll hear an additional hour of other drunkcast stories, including musings on:

- The firing of Tim Rogers
- The origin of our poutine obsession
- Many many fancy beers (this episode doubles as an unofficial Rough Draught)
- Using a toilet in Zero-G
- Noise complaints from the hotel management
- Machete mishaps
- Drunk rambles from Lindy, Neal, Jonny, Mike Gamin, Lauren, Mike Sklens and, of course, myself.

So start pushing those donations! The minute we hit $5K, I'll release the URL into the chat. It's already hosted and ready, so all we need is the cash.

You've got my donation.
C'mon $5000!

Killer_Man_Jaro · « **Reply #56 on:** November 09, 2012, 04:30:50 PM »

You guys made it official: we're over $1000, and this means that The Eurocast: It Came from Across the Sea is now confirmed to be happening. Hooray!

Can I just say how awesome it is that the donations have hit this milestone before the telethon has even started? Everybody who has donated: you rule!

Not a baby I'm afraid, she turn 4 in December but she is a very good kid. Top notch if I may say so myself!

Hmm... I've got a 4 year old son (April) That might be far enough apart

Now my son is spoiled and needs Discipline but, he is one of those really resilient kids who are hard to discipline or tell you their actually sick.

On the Flipside she's old enough to play Skylanders.

Somewhere, "doin' in for the kids" went horribly wrong.

How much would I have to donate to be made admin for a week? LOL

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #64 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:51:49 AM »

How much would I have to donate to make sure the above post never happens?

Sarail · « **Reply #65 on:** November 10, 2012, 09:22:31 AM »

And how much would I have to donate to make S-U-P-E-R vs. TJSpyke the main event at Impact Wrestling's next pay-per-view?

Give it about fifteen minutes. It's got to go through PayPal to ChipIn, so I'm guessing one of their systems hasn't updated yet.

If a full 30 minutes goes by and your amount hasn't updated the total, then we'll take the issue to ChipIn.

Killer_Man_Jaro · « **Reply #68 on:** November 10, 2012, 11:08:59 AM »

For anybody who hasn't been watching the donations tracker, we hit $1500 during this last pre-Telethon dash. Radio Trivia Live is officially coming to the headphones near you! Boom!

NWR_Karl · « **Reply #69 on:** November 10, 2012, 09:50:31 PM »

Well that happened.

Thanks for tuning in, everyone. I'll try and have the first of the podcast edits done by tomorrow evening so late-comers can hear what they missed.

Razorkid · « **Reply #70 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:20:30 PM »

What a successful telethon! Congradulations folks, it was awesome!

Shaymin · « **Reply #71 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:38:14 PM »

For those who missed the stretch goal announcements:
- Karl delivered on the Red Velvet story. Listen at your own risk: http://www.crosstawk.com/storage/PAXcast-unedited.mp3 (or http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/podcast/PAXcast-unedited.mp3 if you'd prefer to hammer NWR's bandwith in lieu of Karl's)

- Because we cleared $6000, there will be a special LIVE Retroactive early in the New Year... on Majora's Mask.

UncleBob · « **Reply #72 on:** November 10, 2012, 11:33:53 PM »

Shoot. I was too busy spending money I didn't have on myself and forgot about this.

Just threw a few bucks into the ChipIn. If I haven't donated a prize next year before it starts, someone shoot me a text message and kick my butt into gear.

Traveller · « **Reply #73 on:** November 10, 2012, 11:39:47 PM »

Oh My God! The Red Velvet story exceeded expectations on the crazy.... Just when I thought it was about as far as it could go, it kept going.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #74 on:** November 11, 2012, 03:06:22 AM »

I missed the back half. When is the complete mp3 recording going to be released?
