It`s worse than i thought. If the rate i have been observing continues, i think we don't have much time left. My prediction is that next Tuesday we will have to play with the rope lights off and then by the next week there wont be enough brightness left in the little guy.

The new bulb is about $280.
I've got $50 dedicated to it so far. Those of you willing (and able!) to help our little buddy out post your contributions here!

i gotta wait to see what my books cost this semester, but if i have enough i'll try and match you!

I'm with ya 100% pal, I wanna see how much other people wanna contribute but I can throw in 30-50!

I have some extra money after buying my books this semester. I will match you Thomas. Put me in for 50$.
Love,
Jessica

If I remember I'll bring 50 with me tommorow, but I'm not sure how happy thomas will be to see it...

I like Nick's plan, to Morongo we go!

if you want to you should send your money in one of two ways.

for paypal: sales coughtatcough x-inferno.com (if you go this route send $51.50 to cover fees) or just hand cash to thomas.

$50 coming your way buddy!

Thanks Dude, transaction completed.

Cash received so far: $150 / half-way

Ok we have $200 so far. I'll try to buy one as soon as possible so if you are planning on contributing please do so or tell me how much you are going to commit.

We made the goal and now it's here! We have a new bulb! Thanks for contributing. We will get everyone together and do a grand opening type thing maybe tonight?

yay for projector bulb! it looks great!

thanks for all of you who participated, it is now more enjoyable to play Super Mario Brothers now that we can see what is going on.

Game on friends, Game on....

Mario Brothers > us

my heart is still in pain

I got an idea though! I guess I underestimated the difficulty of the last world but if we ever play it again I think infinite lives will be the way to go. Yeah, each level will take longer to beat, but once we beat a level, we never have to look back at it again! EVER!!

Agreed!!
