[10:12 PM] retroUSB: beau might be giving up on homebrew book caus it will take maths  :)
[10:13 PM] mattbep: he just needs to set a page count for himself
[10:14 PM] retroUSB: i will either make 200k or lose 25k  :)
[10:14 PM] aarone: beaus page count = infinity
[10:14 PM] mattbep: correct, aaron. he does not want to be restricted!
[10:15 PM] retroUSB: its not just pages, its sales too
[10:15 PM] aarone: kickstarter!
[10:15 PM] mattbep: ha yeah, i was gonna say, who can predict sales
[10:16 PM] mattbep: unless you do a kickstarter. which might not take kindly to a book a year out from being finished
[10:16 PM] retroUSB: he listed many video game book kickstarters, but they range from 60 sales to 4000
[10:16 PM] khangames: What kind of math does he need?
[10:16 PM] retroUSB: kickstarter doesnt care if you are years late  :)
[10:16 PM] khangames: I know he really wants to do it.
[10:16 PM] khangames: His main concern right now is being broke though.
[10:17 PM] aarone: it's a somewhat common concern except for brian
[10:17 PM] aarone: he's got dat mad avs monies
[10:17 PM] mog: bling bling money aint no thing
[10:17 PM] khangames: I feel bad for him. He's worried that if he doesn't find something paying right now he has to get a real job.
[10:17 PM] khangames: And then we won't have any books at all!
[10:17 PM] retroUSB: my only concern is not losing big!
[10:18 PM] retroUSB: if i make 0 thats fine, but even i cant lose 20k  :)
[10:18 PM] aarone: just refi the house
[10:18 PM] aarone: you'd make that back in 2 months anyhow
[10:19 PM] aarone: crazy CA housing market
[10:19 PM] khangames: Brian did you already pay him for AVS book or are you waiting until it's printed? Or did you already?
[10:19 PM] retroUSB: so there has to be some believable projection of what it will do
[10:19 PM] retroUSB: i need to pay him now
[10:19 PM] khangames: Alright. I wasn't sure if you were waiting on me!
[10:19 PM] khangames: I will get it done. But I didn't know how rushed it was.
[10:19 PM] khangames: Didn't want to hold anyone up.
[10:20 PM] mog: stop holding people up
[10:20 PM] retroUSB: its already 4 months late  :)
[10:20 PM] khangames: I'm a closer, mog.
[10:20 PM] khangames: I make projects done!
[10:21 PM] khangames: And sometimes I run them into the ground.
[10:22 PM] mog: no one is crying about the missing book yet, you got time
[10:22 PM] khangames: Cool, I'll email you in June.
[10:22 PM] mog: i mean i get emails daily, hurry up
[10:23 PM] aarone: lol
[10:23 PM] khangames: Okay, I'll get it to you in late May. Jeez.
[10:23 PM] retroUSB: so many people havent even paid yet
[10:24 PM] mog: HOS them!
[10:24 PM] mattbep: oh wait
[10:24 PM] retroUSB: im ordering gamepads this week so maybe they will ship before chinese new year!
[10:24 PM] mog: woo!
[10:24 PM] mattbep: maybe i should go to bed before 1 for once this week
[10:25 PM] aarone: quitter!
[10:25 PM] mattbep: aaron, hit me up with a total whenever you feel like calc'ing it
[10:25 PM] aarone: ok
[10:25 PM] mattbep: i have been late to work every day this week!
[10:25 PM] mattbep: and have a meeting with my manager bright and early
[10:25 PM] mattbep: so can't be late for that!
[10:25 PM] mattbep: later dudes
[10:25 PM] mattbep left the room.
[10:28 PM] retroUSB: and i already did refi, might just pay it off soon  :)
[10:28 PM] retroUSB: market here might be flattening
[10:28 PM] retroUSB: but theres also very little supply in the range im looking
[10:33 PM] khangames: Is he not getting you the info you want on book #2?
[10:51 PM] retroUSB: the info is just way too big of a range
[10:51 PM] retroUSB: so i could lost big, or make tons
[10:56 PM] khangames: Ohhh. I get it.
[10:58 PM] retroUSB: pats kickstarter would be a 200k profit
[10:59 PM] retroUSB: atari history book volume 1 (another ks) would be a 25k loss
[10:59 PM] aarone: atari sux
[11:00 PM] khangames: If you make 200k profit can you pay all homebrewers in book 1k?
[11:00 PM] retroUSB: only the good ones
