Dunno if it's worth considering, but it's a racing format I've never seen; Platforming and other good stuff promised. At the very least my niece would play a lot of it. 'course she did play Kitten Super Adventure for over an hour, and it's not even a game yet.

Rabbit Run? Where's the Rabbit Transit sequel/HD remake, we've all been waiting for?

This looks to be the first thing I'll ever Kickstart, and encourage you guys to as well.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/61 ... h-the-game

Friday The 13th The Game started life as Slasher Vol. 1 Summercamp. They have since gotten the Jason license from Sean Cunningham. Go to the KS page and watch the video. This has serious series involvement (Savini, Hodder, Manfredini...).

More importantly, this feels like it could be one of the most unique horror licensed games. It is a 7v1 game where one person plays as Jason and the other 7 as teenagers trying to survive the night. This sounds brilliant, and for once actually makes a lot of sense for a license like this. It's not Jason in a match-three-jewels game. It is authentic to the films.

I'm either doing the $50 tier where I get two keys for me and my wife, or the $100 where I get 5 keys and a physical copy. Undecided.

They've got 23 days left and about $230,000 to go of $700,00.

Yeah, I'm looking at that one too, Noise. I'm thinking I might go for the $65 level, because I really want to see what the Tom Savini-designed character model for Jason would look like.

Joel wants MST3K to come back. Day one on the Kickstarter, and it's already a fourth of the way to its minimum goal. They want to crowdfund an entire season.

More insight from Joel via reddit:

"This Kickstarter is really about making NEW episodes of MST3K, not making more of the old episodes, even though I love them as much as everyone else.

Mike's not hosting it, and I'm not either. I think it's important for the show to move on to it's next host, just like it always would have if it weren't canceled. That was always the idea for the show – it just wasn't clear because two doesn't make a pattern, and we got canceled before we ever had a third host.

I've invited everyone from the original cast to come back and participate creatively -- to write, and hopefully to do cameos as their Mad Scientist characters. I don't know yet who will and won't decide to come back. I think we'll know more after we see how this Kickstarter campaign goes. But this isn't a reunion show either. To keep the show fresh, I really believe it's important to keep bringing in new talent and keep looking forward."

Might have to hop on a Physical copy for the Xbox One just sounds like it would be an awesome addition to the collection :).

In at $100. I literally just got last pieces of my Crow build on Saturday - the damn flowerpot set that I sold years ago. Took Tom and Gypsy to a convention a few weeks ago and got swarmed, Crow and Cambot are going to a show in February.

Come on Popo, you know you want to drop 15k on this.

I already have spent way too much money this year between Kickstarters and a new kitchen and new windows.

You know you want to give enough to get Racketman as a reoccurring character. They are shooting only two hours away from him.
