A Hot Membership Deal For You: Expires July 6!

Look, I'm into the idea of a membership sale around the holiday, but that wordplay is BROKEN.

Folks, if you're like me, then you love two things: staying in bed all day with your blackout curtains drawn and fireworks. July 4 is probably one of my favorite holidays because if you play your cards right, you can do both of those things in one day. Hide out all day and refuse to answer your phone while the sun is up! Then, once the darkness comes, run out into the street and try to set everything on fire.

We're celebrating the holiday around here by knocking a chunk of cash off of our annual memberships, bringing the cost down to $35 from here until July 6. But this is a limited offer, so if you want in, you should probably think about rolling out of bed, turning on a light, and getting to your computer. Actually, I guess if you're reading this, you've probably already done that? I'm... not really clear on how computers work.

While we're celebrating this national holiday, we're also marking down another reason to celebrate. Dave has decided to dive headfirst into Dwarf Fortress, and we'll be documenting his progress for premium members in a multipart series that starts today. As a result of these two things colliding, we've decided to call this promotion the DWARVES OF JULY celebration!

Here was my input on said promotion: "Would the singular, like, Dwarf of July sound a little bit more like Fourth of July?" Ryan then shook his head at me (and Brad, who totally sided with me) in disgust, and the DWARVES OF JULY WAS BORN! Take advantage of our foolhardiness now by getting in on this amazing deal! You can use it to extend your existing membership, start a new one for yourself, or give the code it generates to a friend and give the gift of premiosity this holiday season!

And now, here is a picture of Olaf, who is really known more for being a viking than a dwarf but he's pretty short. Stout, even. Thank you for your support and be safe and sane next week: always use punk sticks when lighting your dwarves on fire. Oh, and CLICK HERE FOR HOT DEALZ.

Pressed the link, still charged me 49.99 $....

It said the deal ran until July 6th, meaning it expired today.

I thought "until July 6" meant I could get the deal today, too. Was about to sign up, then :(

Me too. Sorry Jeff but you'll need to clarify that it's until the start of the day rather than the end next time. I'm afraid I can't afford full price right now but I was ready to sign up as a cheap-ass today. Guess I'll just have to wait until the next sale (or get a job rather than watch all these damn videos ;D )

Aww, come on. I just got paid today. I thought I would be safe waiting till the 6th. That's a big ol' bummer. I was already thinking of all the ways I could spend the leftover $15.
