Lovecraft Carols
Many people have remarked on the music we play at this time of year.
The album is called A Very Scary Solstice made by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.
From the publisher:
A Very Scary Solstice finally merges the wonderful tradition of merry holiday carolling with the cosmic horror of the Cthulhu Mythos. The result is a CD and sing-along songbook that features twenty five holiday favorites infused with a liberal dose of madness, horror and otherworldly blasphemies.
The CD features a cast of professional singers with each number beautifully arranged and fully orchestrated. Styles range from the classical to contemporary to nostaligic and just plain weird.
They’ve also got a cool selection of Miskatonic University cups and shirts as well as DVD’s of The Call of Cthulhu and Whisperer in Darkness.
Use Your Phone to Pay
It’s no secret that merchants pay a large fee to credit card companies in order to accept plastic at the register. We accept those charges as the cost of doing business and do our best to keep fees down.
Recently, a new online payment system has started to gain more and more awareness. Dwolla is an online payment system that works similar to PayPal. Customers sign up for the service, which allows you to transfer money directly from your linked bank account. This is similar to a debt card, except without the fees.
Here’s the good part – Dwolla transactions below $10 are free for both the customer and the merchant! Transaction above $10 only cost the merchant 25 cents. Plus, you can use an app on a smart phone to make your payment.
I’d like to encourage our customers who use web connected smart phones to investigate Dwolla.
As a reward for using this service in the shop, we’ll give you 3 BONUS rewards points for every dollar an item costs.
Thanks!
Risk Legacy Covered By NPR
NPR has done a story on the new Risk Legacy game from Hasbro.
From NPR:
What makes this different from the original Risk is that choices you make change the game permanently. For example, a player building a city can name it whatever he or she wants. The name gets written in permanent marker on a label, which gets stuck to the board — and it stays there. You could try to pull it off, but you’d ruin both the sticker and the board. So in every game after this, whoever first controlled the city gets a bonus — forever.
At other times, players do destroy parts of the game. After certain events take place, players are instructed to open secret envelopes containing new components that change the way the game is played. At other times, players are instructed to literally rip up game cards and throw them away.
