Apologies if this breaks any rules about promotion, but Limited Run Games is a pretty cool outfit, and this is some pretty awesome merch.

this is one of the most stupid ideas i've ever heard. I love it

So like $150 of stuff for $666... lmao

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Ah you see, there will only be 666 copies sold, so most of that price is just for the privilege of being able to buy it!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah I'm not seeing the value anywhere near the price. Playing a box holds virtually no value to me.

Fuck me, that's kinda awesome... buuuut...

For fuck's sake, Limited Run Games? Will the discs be on CD-Rs and the floppies be of the 5.25 variety just to really fuck people off? I really like the idea of Limited Run but their attitude to consumers is fucking awful.

I've got a massive id collection (up as far as Quake 4 anyway), but I'm really torn on this one.

This is the only part of this set that I actually want

Funny to see someone calling LRG a cool outfit. I'm so used to reading seething hate towards them on reddit. I'm pretty neutral towards them, personally.

I'm just gonna say it.

Not everything needs to be a meme.

Hah. Hey, I walked right into that one. That one gets to be a meme.

How tf can they get the caco to float above the magnet? Attached with a string or something?

They've clearly manufactored a room temperature Superconductor just to have a floating demon on a magnet. Almost makes it worth the $666 price tag
