Neal Stephenson is one of my favorite authors, probably my favorite living author. It's really no surprise that he's enthralled by swordplay, given that every cool character in every story he's written has a swordfight at some point.
Hopefully this project succeeds, but I've already exceeded my lifetime Kickstarter limit, I think. Grim Dawn. |

No one should ever use the RMAH. Personal opinion of course, but it definitely takes the point of the game away.
That said, I got an authenticator after beta, when it became glaringly obvious this was going to be the most hacked/phished/exploited game in existence. Free on your (certain smart-)phone(s), free via WinAuth, or $6.50 for the physical device. Worth it to me personally, to avoid the headache of a stolen account, however low that possibility may be for me(strong passwords not reused anywhere, text only header only email, virus scanners etc.)
Still having a lot of fun playing Diablo 3, looking forward to Torchlight 2, Grim Dawn, and Lineage Eternal.  Most hilarity in D3 definitely revolves around people suicidally chasing down treasure goblins(Golden Axe potion gnomes) and/or getting blown up AFTER a molten elite dies. Player revive in multiplayer has turned out to be a nice and fun mechanic, as I often find myself reviving less safety-inclined friends in Boss battles.

This is a guaranteed purchase by me. Based primarily on the gameplay videos and descriptions of the game, this trailer just indicates these guys have a little more money involved than Microprose did back in the day.

Well, the one good thing coming out of this always online D3 debacle(as of 6pm EST) is that I have contributed to my first Kickstarter ever, for Grim Dawn
I'll still be playing D3... eventually, but I'm looking forward to Torchlight 2 and Grim Dawn that much more. 
Very impressive cinematic and classy menu in D3 though.

Squeezed in 20 minutes this morning. Made it to level 4, accumulated 2000 gold, and bought a few items at the AH.
After 4 hours of the servers being live, the AH was already brimming with every item you could want to buy.
Wow, buying items at level 4. This is definitely a different Diablo.
For the record, I am assuming you mean the Gold Auction House. The Real Money Auction House is thankfully locked for a week, hopefully the D3 servers will survive that storm better than the release day nonsense, so I can play.
My copy is currently sitting on a truck somewhere, supposedly en route.

All this info, or at least the important stuff(6 person party, not a straight clone) was available months ago.
I'm still looking forward to this game, there are more than enough low budget X-Com clones or slight adaptations that some real change is tentatively welcome. Arguably this genre is already saturated with indie/low budget X-Com clones...
UFO Afterlight series
UFO Extraterrestrial(and upcoming sequel, different series)
Xenonauts if it ever gets released
UFO Alien Invasion(yet another series)
UFO Extraterrestrial 2 looks to be not only awesome, but definitely more of a straight clone/update to X-Com. I recommend those of you depressed by this Enemy Unknown version take a look at the Extraterrestrial series... the first one is like 2 bucks on most digital services.(Steam, Gamersgate etc.)
I would have liked larger teams, but I'm definitely going to give X-EU a try before condemning it.

Looking good, and also looks as though you can physically move to dodge attacks. This is only possible vs certain enemies in Diablo 3. 
Obviously these guys don't have the budget Blizzard does, but I like what I've seen from this game so far. Offline mode, price of around 15-20 bucks, sounds like a definite buy so far.
They had been aiming for a March 31st release date though... oh well.

Every player can have the same unique item. "Unique" means that it can only drop once per playthrough for you, and if you already possess it, it won't drop again.
What? Where exactly did you read/hear this? Uniques from Diablo 2, are now "Legendaries" in Diablo 3, and there is no limit to how many times they can drop in a playthrough, although the odds are of course slim. Even in D2, the same 'unique' could drop several times in one game. It was an erroneous term at best, that's why it's changed now. Also, accursed WoW influence.

Indeed, I think it's a great opportunity. I plan on making back the cost of my copy selling items to the morons who will actually blow money on virtual items. The world is filled with them, the success of dumb WoW pets and ponies is a testament to that. I used to be skeptical but I'm convinced now, might as well fleece the people who want so desperately to spend their hard earned money.
I won't be using the RMAH or probably even the GAH at all myself, but good luck. I think an awful LOT of people all have the idea they will be able to make some money selling items. X million people trying to sell items, each of those people refusing to buy... who will bend or break first?!
While it's certainly possible to make a little cash on the RMAH, I'm almost as interested to see how the RMAH actually plays out as I am to play the full game. It's like a massive psychological experiment run by Blizzard, with them skimming cash off the top the whole time and laughing their asses off.
Also, how much account hacking will eventually occur, because of the RMAH. My estimate, metric shit-tons.

Dhalsim-a-like perhaps?
Well, I can see where you would get the Dhalsim feel, from his nose/earrings and bald head, skin tone, etc.
However Dhalsim's physique, if you go back and look at that game, is RIPPED. The Witch Doctor on the other hand is in starvation mode, hence the distended belly and twitching. Not really as heroic as I personally would have liked, but he's quickly enveloped in armor and it's not as distracting.
I'll still be rocking a Witch Doctor, on release day, assuming the servers don't melt into slag.

The Witch Doctor owns. I will probably give in, and play Barbarian first (for a planned coop group), but WD will be a close second, probably solo. Giant Toad > Diablo 3.
Only dislike I have with the Witch Doctor is his lack of a more heroic physique. The Male WD has the distended belly of a starving man, along with the trembling shakes of an addict. In comparison, the 80 year old Barbarian has biceps that weigh more than the other characters combined... Blizzard really could have gone with a wide receiver type physique, or even a marathon runner physique if they wanted to stay ultra skinny and a more confident stance, but oh well.

Hrm, looks pretty good, although there seems to be no real information on how the game will actually play.
I do like what I've seen of the Dark Eye ruleset/universe though, from Drakensang and River of Time. |

Verno / Beamer, you guys are probably right, but I'm really looking forward to this fad dying out.
I guess this is really just humanity at work... if people are willing to give money to people for future promises/products, then other people will ask for that money.
It's unnerving(to me anyway) that the Kickstarters have passed beyond games I considered "meh, maybe on sale" buys to games I had already promised myself I would buy when they were done.
One side of me says donate, quick, before they go bankrupt! Another side of me says don't give these bums a dime, they will spend it on crystal meth and whores, and go bankrupt anyway!
The investments/donations are really minor, to be honest; I'm getting hung up more on the principle.
