Isn't the entire point of Kickstarter pledges that it doesn't matter for you if it is hopeless? You don't lose anything if it falls through.

really? I did not know that

I'd like to put out there a couple things:
One from some people I know
and
One from some youtubers I like.
Please support.
The sad, REAL American dichotomy
The posters in the latter project look neat but keep reminding me of Powerade ads.

I'm trying to drum up some support for this one: Escape Pod Comics, a nifty idea for a comic book store by someone who obviously loves his comics.

So my friends' kickstarter has had quite a jump lately. Though it's unlikely, I hope you guys had something to do with that.

I mean a significant jump. If any of you contributed to that, thank you, very much.
They made their target! Hopefully I'm not the only one here that helped.
Now, on to Clandestine, right?

I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story.
Loved Being Elmo and Caroll Spinney's characters are easily my favorites from that whole Sesame Street Muppet cast.
So... Mannaise just looks super tasty:
That's when we had an idea. One guy said, "let's put them in the food processor with some mayonnaise. Another guy said, "I'll bet it would be even better with some garlic and cream cheese mixed in". Holy smokes, it was amazing!
Doesn't hurt that the factory the test batches are being made in is run by the company I work for's former landlord (and customer). We've been all over that place and eaten the delicious food it makes.
...I want some Mannaise.

...nope, not going there.
Doesn't make it less delicious.

This parallella supercomputer thing sounds interesting, and it's fully funded. Admittedly, it seems pretty specialized, but I can see it doing some good for the future of parallel processing, particularly with its open source nature in comparison to Intel, Nvidia, and AMD.
Also, we should probably change the name of this thread to Kickstarter, so it won't be weird and slightly off-topic when we discuss Kickstarter in general.

So Corey and Lori Cole, the team behind the Sierra ''Quest for Glory games, have a kickstarter going for a game they want to design much in the mold of their old games.
Also, as an extra benefit for me since I never got to play all the old games, (and the attempt to copy them from a friend's copy wasn't entirely successful) one of the rewards is a copy of all 5 QFG games. I think I can sum up my reaction in 1 word: yoink!

Sharknado Warning
Hero-U from the creators of Quest For Glory. Which are my favorite adventure game series ever.
Student of Story
I'm really bummed out that it looks like Hero-U won't make it. 
Sharknado Warning
They say generally project like these tend to get most of the financing in the last week. So its not impossible. But yeah. I'm going to be depressed if it doesn't make it.
There's some good news though. Per backer, people have contributed more to Hero-U than Space Quest's kickstarter or Leisure Suit Larry's. And Space Quest Venture made 35% of its money in the last 6 days. So one can hope Hero-U follows suit...

23k$ yesterday. Best day since day 2. So there's a chance we might get Hero-U if this trend continue.

Yeah, I've checked the numbers and it seems like they might have a fighting chance. There's only 60 some hours to go right now, but they're finally getting within striking distance and only have around 80K to go.
If anyone reading this has been on the fence about the project, here's something that you may find interesting, it's about with the Coles talking about the sort of immersive, lifelike world they want to try and create in the game:
But we can do better. Yes/No, Either/Or, Binary pathing is so last century! It's also not the way life works.
Quest for Glory broke the mold of D&D-style games by eliminating experience levels. Instead, players gradually improved each of their skills through practice. In Hero-U, we are doing the same thing for character relationships. All of your actions during the game will affect how others see you, and how they react in turn.
No two players are likely to see the exact same story in Hero-U. Each player will forge their own relationships, and choose where to spend their time. The subtle connection between these decisions will affect many aspects of game play.
This won't as simple as "You're a Thief" or "You're a Rogue Hero." The game – like real life – will be much more complex and layered. Shades of grey mean something in Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption.
Let's say for instance you've been friendly to one of the other students. Maybe that student saw you in the hallway after curfew, but she'll keep quiet about it. Or maybe she'll mention a useful book in the library. If things work out, maybe you can develop a romantic relationship.
Of course, the opposite is true too. Maybe someone else is jealous of that budding relationship, and decides to make you look bad. There are a lot of ways for a Rogue to find revenge. Maybe one of your teachers will stand up for you, or maybe everyone will hang you out to dry. Everything you do in the game will affect someone's attitude towards you, positively, negatively, or sideways. That would be the case when a plot element hinges on your actions, and a character decides you might be useful to them... or not.
I got a Logo Just Cause
A documentary about Axe Cop's creation and it's popularity. They're hoping to release by the premiere of the show on Fox.
I'm on Youtube Reviewing Things Cause I can.
Sharknado Warning
It's going to be close that's for sure...
I'm placing this here because I don't think it fits anywhere else
I'm thinking of pledging to this project (the main reason why I'm having second thoughts is that it seems hopeless)
