When the first "bonus chapters" were released, there was a thrill of novelty, but now, after reading essentially 30 chapters of "Vintage Games," including the book and the bonus chapters, the novelty isn't there anymore. Again, unfortunate timing, since probably many readers (including myself) haven't had time to recover from reading "Vintage Games" and "Matt Chat." It's sort of like stuffing yourself with a banquet; no matter what delicious foods are thrown at you, you're too full to really enjoy it. Perhaps next month (or further), more interest will build in the forthcoming chapters, since the readers might be "hungry" again.
That's an interesting thought, Rob. I'll have to ponder this for awhile. It might be comparable to fine Belgian ales. If you only have one or two, it's utterly fantastic. However, if you were to try to drink 7, you'd appreciate it much less, simply because you'd be too drunk to really savor the flavor. On the other hand, if someone were traveling through Belgium on his way to his vacation in France and purchased 7 fine Belgian ales, I'd be happy to put this to the test.
