Topic: Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Castlevania has been released!

I got mine yesterday.  I can see it becoming my favorite game book.  I'm glad Kurt checked over and edited/updated the articles before printing them.  I thought at first that it would just be a printed form of everything at the Dungeon, which I still would have been happy with.  But it's good to see it's mostly new material.

Nice job, Kurt.  I'm sure it took tons of hours to perfect.  I hope it sells well.

I got mine yesterday, but da poast office is closed till tmrw. Gotta wait till then to pick it up...

[Neobelmont]

I wonder if this book has a solid grasp on sales numbers I've always been interested in that.

So I got this last night, and it basically is like a flashback to the past 10-11ish years I spent perusing the Castlevania Dungeon, reading articles and reviews and anything new that was posted, going through everything from the regional differences to the soundtracks to the FAQs and walkthroughs and all the hidden secrets and gems as they were discovered. Just a bunch of nostalgic feelings of first starting out here and going through the past decade+ of the series that I started when I was a wee lass.

Well played, Kurt....you goddamn bastard.

Disco Kurt-sama!!!! Look what came in today!!!


Sorry for the blurry picture, but I got your book! It's really good, and I like how you thanked our Jorge for all the work on the CV Dungeon. I also got a copy of the Mammoth Book of New Horror so amazon.com would give me free shipping XD

[GuyStarwind]

Arg I want this but I'm so broke it's incredible. I might have to wait for Christmas or something

[EisaKrieger]

What would be the recommended channels to obtain a better print?  I'd hate for such a good book to rack up a bunch of complaints on amazon or however it works.  I think I'll get the crisp PDF version too anyway since it's just a few bucks.

Edit: Well it's been weeks now so it's too late now and I'm just sticking with my copy.  The print's good enough and it's an awesome book.

I'm still waiting for this book to arrive. It's been 11 days since I ordered it To think it would take so long for a package to go from UK -> Sweden... I've ordered games from friggin Japan that has arrived MUCH earlier. Well, this was my rant of the day. I want the book NAOW! And then I'm gonna order that Sega Arcade book too, I think. Hopefully it'll arrive before the sun explodes in a couple of million years...

I ordered mine a week ago too, and I'll have to wait more than 10 more days to get mine. International shipping ftw.

[RichterB]

I ordered and received mine. Took about 9 days. No printing errors that I can see. The book is very good; Castlevania deserves a tome like this.

[shelverton.]

Still no book. Tracking code says it's in Denmark. Dunno why. It is now 16 or 17 days since I ordered. Will not buy anything from Amazon ever again.

(Still looking forward to the book though!)

[Shiroi Koumori]

You can complain to amazon and they might send you another book on expedited int'l shipping without additional cost.
It worked for amazon japan for my classmate several years ago. I dunno if it will still work now.

[shelverton.]

It's been over a month now since I ordered and still no book. What a joke. I have contacted amazon to see what the flying f*ck they're doing. I should get some kind of compensation for this utter failure on their part. Maybe a lifetime supply of..well, everything. 

If I don't get it in time for Halloween I shall be furious.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Wow, you sat still for a month without contacting them? That's what i call amazing patience, you should get an award for that.
Tell us when the book arrives.

[shelverton.]

I'm not really patient, just confused and also hates to confront people and companies when they're pissing me off. But I'm slowly getting better at it.

So Amazon replied and said that the package has disappeared somewhere. Da fuq. They asked me if I wanted a replacement or a refund. I want dat book! So hopefully I won't have to wait another month, but I'm probably not gonna be reading this book for halloween as planned. Maybe it will be a xmas read instead lol. Hopefully xmas 2014....
