Lucid Dreaming with Remee

Ever want to take control of your dreams?  Well now you can or now you can for a cheaper price then competing models.  I remember them coming out with these masks before and they were always a few hundred dollars.  For only $80 you can get one for yourself and see if it does or does not work.  Lucid Dreaming can be hard to do and the idea behind this device is it will blink red lights to let you know that you are ready to have some fun!  I found it interesting that everyone in the video wants to fly.  I am sure others want to do a few various things other then flying.  Perhaps people don't want to admit what they really want to do in a dream?

Jane Janeson's Moebius

If you have ever played the Gabriel Knight games then you have heard or have at least played a game created by Jane Jansen.  She is creating a new gaming system called Community Supported Gaming (CSG).  It is based on Community Supported Farming.  It's an interesting idea and we will have to see how it transforms and works.  Being that the Gabriel Knight games were one of my favorite I am looking forward to getting some new stories/games from her.

SpaceVenture - Two Guys From Andromeda (Creators of Space Quest)

I am excited about this one as Space Quest was a wonderful series.  I had heard that they would be making this and I guess this also decided to go the KickStarter route.  They have over $17,000 as of this writing and they are asking for $500,000.  I do hope they make it.  Reading through their page I also noticed they are getting Gary Owens as the narrator (Same as in Space Quest 4 and 6).  Lets hope they make as great as a game as the classic Space Quest series.

First to reach over $10,000,000? - Pebble Watch

It appears Kickstarter will have it's first to reach over $10,000,000.  It just over 9 million right now with 10 days to go so it looks pretty likely.  It is the Pebble e-paper watch that you can connect to your iPhone or Android and can use apps and change the face.  I can't say I really want or need one but for some it seems like a must but.  Of course they are hitting the larger numbers as the lowest available pledge is $115.  When compared to Doublefine whose lowest pledge was $15.  Of course you could pledge $2.50 and not receive anything.  Should be interesting to see what they end up with.

Legends of Eisenwald

Looks like an interesting game.  It is supposed to be a mix of both an RPG and RTS.  I think the best part of it is the start of their video in which they look like they came from a some crazy renaissance festival.  All in all it looks like it may be an interesting game if they end up getting the funding.  They are almost halfway to their goal.

Leisure Suit Larry!

Sure it's not my first choice of the old sierra adventure games to be remade but I won't complain.  If you didn't know what leisure suit larry was or you only checked out the last two creations that used it's name then make sure you read more about it here and here. (Disregard the last two Larry games)

This will be a remake of the first Leisure Suit Larry (Which actually had it's own remake) and has some veteran Sierra folks involved including the creater of Leisure Suit Larry, Al Lowe.  This will be fun to see how it turns out in the end so make sure you watch this one.  I hope it does well myself as maybe we can get some more old Sierra series going again.  Also Telltale is supposed to be rebooting Kings Quest which will be neat to see how that turns out (They have done a Monkey Island series)

Shadowrun down to four days

The Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter is down to only four more days.  They have gotten their funding (and then some).  During this writing they are at $1,451,513.  Watching both the Wasteland and Doublefine kickstarters I noticed that they gained during the last day or so.  I could really see them doing the same and getting past 2 million.

If  you don't know what Shadowrun is or the return of it is I will give a little background.  Shadowrun started out as a pen and paper RPG and then later was made into a fun RPG for both the Sega Genesis and SNES.  Later a FPS was published by Microsoft that really was well not what at least many were hoping for.  We now have what could turn out to be a fun RPG.  Shadowrun is a kind of cyberpunk futurisic setting also with magic.
