      Hi, Bruce -- Hi, Tom (if you're there). I think we really need some communication, here. You gentlemen (fine writers both) have undertaken this project for the pleasure of your backers (us!) and have left us with no official word at all, either on the website or via Kickstarter updates.

      That would be fine, if it hadn't been four months (!!!) since we'd heard anything from you. That's not cool. It's not professional. It's not really acceptable, I hate to say. You guys need to send out an update to backers, at an absolute minimum, right away to let us know what's going on and what the new schedule will be like.

      You're both educated men. Tom's a journalist. You know that this isn't the way it's allowed to work.

      Thanks.

      There absolutely will be new ones. We are working on two simultaneously, actually. Last month I flew out to California to film the "video" TvB with Tom and am editing it. We are also writing a joint piece with one of our featured contributors. We do apologize for the delays.

      Will we have any new Tom vs Bruce? The last one was in November...

      It's understanding if things get delayed, but we need updates =|

      Hello? Anyone here?

      Creator Bruce Geryk on August 14, 2012

      Limited to my phone right now due to Internet problems, so I can't post an update, but we are very close. Text is basically done. I will make a trip to a wireless hotspot to post an update tomorrow if I am out of the OR in time.

      Knock, knock. As in, "can you send us an update please?" Any new ETA on the first instalment?

      Please do an article of Frozen Synapse. That game is absolutely perfect for Tom vs. Bruce!

      Congratulations on making the stretch goal, can't we squeeze Troy into one of the sessions, as a bonus?

      I would have donated more, but Kickstarter doesn't seem to accept boxes of old, tangled, disused computer cables. Oh well.

      Tom vs Bruce smackdown .. hell yeah!

      Creator davmaas on June 21, 2012

      Welcome back Tom vs. Bruce! My game suggestion would be Global Thermonuclear War (Introversion's DEFCON) played along with one (or more) of your special guests.

      I love you guys on 3MA... here take my money... chase your dream!

      Creator Tyler Jenkins on June 20, 2012

      Chronically late to the party Tyler shows up to do his part after the fact. I have been wary of Kickstarter as it seems even more risky than pre-ordering a game during Beta, but I broke down since this is as much for past contributions by Tom and Bruce as future ones. All I really want is Bruce's archived posts from his old website.

      Creator Paul Whitehurst on June 20, 2012

      Okay, did my bit for the cause. Just curious, but is it the Tom or the Bruce signature that makes the the Tom vs. Bruce postcard valuable enough to eBay? I'd certainly be willing to cut mine in half for a higher net profit.

      Creator Ben Barber on June 19, 2012

      Congratulations on making it guys, you really deserve it and I'm super excited to see the articles!

      I helped save Tom vs. Bruce. What did you ever do?

      Creator Glenn Nelsen on June 15, 2012

      Well if we are going to do board games then the PC version of Twilight Struggle comes to mind when it is released.

      Creator Ian Bowes (spelk) on June 12, 2012

      I'm here, lending my support from across the pond!

      It's time Tom met A Few Acres of Snow (or Loren the Amazon Princess), and Bruce fought it out on Section 8: Prejudice! Or Endwar. :)

      I LOVE YOU BOTH! *FLASHES MOOBS*

      The very first thing I would do when I got my copy of CGW each month is read Tom vs Bruce. Heck, the article even convinced me to buy Peggle! Here's my money, give me more Tom vs Bruce!

      an audiocast of each match would be good if you can also do that

      OK, I backed a pair of headphones in a scrunchie. The least I can do to thank Tom for years of quality gaming writing and site running is get behind a project he's excited about. Looking forward to rediscovering Tom v. Bruce (as we'd write it in Canada).
