I still have my MoM CD ROM (I think it was the first game I ever bought on CD ROM) and even reinstalled and played it a couple of years ago. Was still so much fun, although it definitely looks its age. My biggest complaint about the original is that the AI cheats at the higher levels, attacking you with units in turn six that it shouldn't be able to get until turn 20 due to build cost, etc.
Definitely one of the best strategy games ever made. |

| I am just getting around to playing FTL, and that was my first thought: This is the perfect game for tablet play. |

| I totally dug it. A refreshing break from high fantasy, space opera, and milsim shooters. Unique gameplay too. |

The Human Defiance joke was pretty lame since they teased it yesterday. I didn't see the teaser, so I thought it was pretty funny. I love the 8 bit spoof bc that's a trend I don't really like. |

| It would be cool if the whole game was done in that impressionistic art style. Too bad we didn't see any gameplay footage. Struck me as kind of, Borderlands: the RTS. |

I'm not opposed to people trying. There are reasons other than money for a developer to do Kickstarter: gauging interest in a project, soliciting feedback, etc. Restricting on wealth would also be hard to evaluate and enforce. Garriott might personally have a fortune, but does his company?
However, what really shocks me is that people funded Garriott despite knowing how much money the guy has. |

What are people reading out there? Some of my favs:
Schlock Mercenary - A space opera serial that's pretty funny. Running for over 10 years.
Whomp - Standalone comics. Updated 3x weekly, and often pretty funny. Mouseover comments are sometimes funnier than the comic itself.
Questionable Content - Long running, updated daily. Getting a bit soapy lately.
Spinnerette - A superhero serial updated 3x weekly. Start at the beginning. |

Alex May didn't go to the party, but tweeted it. His tweet starts, "It appears..." indicating he didn't have first hand info. Other tweets, on the other hand DID indicate first hand info:
"wandering through the backstage of .party(),..."
"the girls who were paid up be here to party..."
"I spoke to someone who was 'paid to party'..."
With that much evidence, it would seem this is true. I'm sure Marcus didn't handle the details of the party himself. Plausible deniability.
I suppose if there was ever a company that could afford hookers and blow... |

They also stated that they're working to allow importation of new textures, models, etc. by the community so this really could be a real NWN successor. If you're an RPG fan you have to back this!
As always I might consider it when and if they have paypal up... though I got money this month.. but I have been burned by a bad purchase (sim city...) and still not over that yet.. 
Well, just think of it this way vs. Simcity:
1. This game has no DRM
2. This game has no always online requirement
3. This game offers modding tools and encourages modding
4. This game offers true coop
5. This game is self-published by Larian Studios, not by a big publisher.
If there was ever a game doing everything right, this is it. |

My main problem with the game is the schizophrenic design. It is like the plot was written by one team, and the gameplay by another. I can't think of another situation that could explain the story showing Laura as a vulnerable figure who is reluctant to kill deer for food and then minutes later performing brutal executions of humans in the gameplay. It doesn't fit and it's too jarring for me to take the game seriously or enjoy it.
Well, OBVIOUSLY deer are cute, and stubbly thugs are nasty and deserve to die. |

I'll definitely buy this, but not just yet. It's a sale purchase for me.
I've never played any of the TR more than 5 minutes, so I was mildly curious about this "reboot". Based on the totalbiscuit video, I'm not sure I'd stick with it. So I'll grab it for $5-$10 down the road...
Yeah, this is part of my surprise at their disappointment. This game will have a long tail. Lots of people are interested in this game, just not at full price (were I a richer man...). The 4 million they sold the first week must have covered costs, so everything here on out should be gravy. |

Gamefly isn't too bad. I leave it off most of the time and start it up just when I want to play something. |

That was probably the most unimpressive and boring tech demo I've ever seen.
As a piece of storytelling, it's pretty crappy, but as a tech demo, it's impressive for a real time render. I'm curious why you found it unimpressive.
I think it's because we've been duped into this sort of marketing spin way too many times, I'll remain jaded until games are released that actually look and play like this demo.
The BF4 gameplay footage was pretty close to this. |
