Yogscast Jingle Jam 2016 - $30 for TF2 monitors..

[TSx* Naxer]

...and a bunch of random games.

I'm gonna donate anyway, but TF2 medals used to be just $5. My wallet hurts already, and Gaben will make it even worse with winter/xmas sale.
Anyone feeling the same?

It's 31 rewards, I get why it's priced like that. It's the fact that TF2 items from this event used to be separate from the rest and were for just $5.

Tf2.....monitors?

[BRONIN]

I know I've been gone for like, five or so years but I'd imagine I have some kind of idea on what the ♥♥♥♥ any of that means.


And I have no idea.


1. The ♥♥♥♥ is Yogscast? Isn't that the dude who made Minecraft videos a long time ago? I only remember that because of the Dwarf song.

2. Jingle Jam?

3. Medals?

4. 30 dollars?

5. Monitors?

Huhuhuhuh?

You didn't really explain us quite good. Can you re-formulate that in a correct form?

[I want to die]

$30 monitor
800x600 @24hz comfirmed

Oh monitor as a pc screen?

[TheTwoTonHammer]

I was just as confused as most of you until I looked it all up. Makes sense now.

[CandyhH]

Do you donate them online?
Or is there somesort of convention?

[TSx* Naxer]

Thought those things were well-known... Oh well.

Yogscast makes annual event where they make a stream for like a week somewhere in december or november. Humble Bundle in the meantime takes donations from those events to support a charity and offers a bunch of games in return, and the promotional TF2 items.

In the previous years, you had to donate at least $5 to get them. Those were Heart of Gold, Thought that Counts, and then the 2 monitors... which are medals that look like old TV screens with the faces of Yogscast team.
This year they added more monitors with the faces of other Yogscast members, and they want freakin' $30 for it.

To be honest I don't even know Yogscast. But I really like promotional stuff.

Here are the two monitors I got from the previous year:

Last year is was $5 for the badges or $25 for the badges + the games. This year it is $30 for everything.

But given it is a charity event (Humble Bundle and the developers don't get any cut of the money), it strikes me as wrong to complain about the price.

Thanks

Oh, okay. I'm probably gonna skip it sadly, kinda have a ton of people to buy for Christmas but it's a nice little incentive. It's cute.

I'd be more inclined if it could be a custom image or I had any idea who Yogscast are besides the dude who did that "I am a dwarf" thing on Minecraft years ago.

Or like, little vintage faces of different TF2 characters. It's a nice offer though. 30 bucks and you get all that? Crazy good offer. And for a good cause. No one should complain.

[moftifity]

30$ bucks is over my budget, plus I don't really trust external sites. I'd be happy to donate but :/

[Vrakos Anthrakir]

I would've paid 5 bucks if it was just the tf2 medals, heck if it was anything less than 10 I'd be fine with it, but not gonna pay 30 for a bunch of games I won't play and 4 similar looking tf2 medals
