Greetings Mutant League-
Check out the sample for our official Tex Murphy Fedora – We just received it today! The Robot sure enjoys it!

If you haven’t done so already, sign up for an official Big Finish Games account using the same email you used for your Kickstarter or Paypal pledge. (This helps us verify that you were a backer, and will let you have access to “Behind the Scenes” info during our production!)
The deadline to enter for the Tex Murphy Memorabilia drawing will be Wednesday June 27th, after which, the Paypal will be closed until Monday July 2nd.
We will be drawing winners for the Tex Memorabilia raffle Thursday June 28th. We will contact winners via email, so be sure to check your email to claim your prize!
We have more exciting news in July – be sure to check the Big Finish Games website and Facebook for the latest information!

      @Parallax; The panel lights up with the words 'Please do not press this button again'.

      What happens if I press the red panel-button on the robot? =D

      DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Oh wait, it's just a snazzy fedora on my head.

      @ Rena: Ow, so there is no added step to be elligible? just log in (with your e-mail that you used on kickstarter)?
      Clear now, thanks! :)

      Hope the robot isn't programmed for world domination!
      Find out in the next epidose of Tex Murphy, here on Big Finish :)

      Looking forward to hear more and of course see who wins, still keeping my hopes up :)

      Neat fedora, I like!

      Creator Nelson Carter, Negotiator on June 25, 2012

      Ooooh update :-)
      Is the robot in the fedora the new rival P.I. ?

      Creator Kevin Bell on June 25, 2012

      Woohoo! Always great to see a new update :-)

    12. Tex3v2_200x200.small

      Creator Rena on June 25, 2012

      Do note though as mentioned in the update you should sign up to their site using your Kickstarter email (or change your existing account) so that they can notify you if you won the raffle, as due to Kickstarter policy they were told they can not notify people via Kickstarter.

      Creator Rena on June 25, 2012

      @Stalkinpanda and Joe: The rules stated on the Memorabilia Drawing page for entry apply to those who pledged on Kickstarter too and was mentioned in a past Kickstarter update:
      http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/texmurphy/tex-murphy-project-fedora/posts/246916
      .
      They just mentioned PayPal in this update however as it is still ongoing so if anyone missed out on the Raffle there is still a chance there until PayPal closes.

      is that a Robbie the Robot?

    15. Missing_small

      Creator Joe on June 25, 2012

      I'm having the same problem as Stalkinpanda. If I really must become a backer with PayPal to be eligible I may do so, but I don't have a lot of money and I'd rather not have to donate more through a different source just to be eligible for a drawing.

    16. Missing_small

      Creator Stalkinpanda on June 25, 2012

      So are kickstarter backers eligible for the rabble or just new/paypal backers? I was looking at the site and can't seem to find a way to enter myself in the raffle. Am I missing something?

      Creator Grinbaud on June 25, 2012

      A "screenshot" would be good for the next update :-)

      Creator Serena Nelson - Hero of the AGRM on June 25, 2012

      Thanks for the heads-up about the e-mail address. I originally set up my Big Finish Games account using a different address than the one that's tied to my Kickstarter account. Thankfully, I was able to change it over.

    21. Tex3v2_200x200.small

      Creator Rena on June 25, 2012

      Haha cool robot. I know you guys enjoy Mystery Science Theater 3000 so the robot is really appropriate. :D I *think* I registered using the same email. I have some "Big Finish Games Email Updates Confirmation" thingy that i think the forum sent me after registering there.

      Ahhh... The Siren call of Free Stuff. And you thought you Femme Fatales were enticing...

      Creator Jen Lee ~~~ Fedora Femme Fatales~~~ on June 25, 2012

      Then I checked my email and figured out why. X-D

    24. Profile.small

      Creator Jen Lee ~~~ Fedora Femme Fatales~~~ on June 25, 2012

      I was just on the site a few minutes ago and was shocked to see over 300 people currently online. In the 3 years and 43 weeks I have yet to see more than 10-15 folks on at one time. Hilarious!

    25. Frogacuda.small

      Creator Frogacuda on June 25, 2012

      I've had an account on the Big Finish forums with that email for 3 years already. I should be good to go, then right? I don't have to notify anyone?

    26. Mayor-nola.small

      Creator Da Mayor on June 25, 2012

      So, does this mean that you need to have a login at Big Finish Games to enter into the drawing?
