Beer chillin', and games.
So I spent a few hours over at mongo42's place, building a beer chiller. It's very cool, so to speak. Took 100f water and turned it into 47f. Sometime soon we'll do a better test w/ the water under pressure, so it flows faster, but still... pretty darn awesome. It'll make hot summertime events more chillin'.
While I was there, we got to talking, and I realized I had shared this in other venues, but possibly not here on LJ.
If you liked the old, old computer game Wasteland, you may be excited to know that there's a kickstarer for a Wasteland 2. By Brian Fargo, of Interplay. If turn based sandbox roleplay post apocalyptic games appeal to you, check it out. 9 days left on the kickstarter... and they're funded to $2,156,588 of their $900,000 goal. There's still time to get in on the cheap side of this.
Now... if point and click adventures, like Monkey Island, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango appeal to you... Tim Schafer & Co over at Double Fine Adventure broke a number of Kickstarter records. Their goal was $400,000 to make another game along these lines, and they wound up with over $3,336,371 pledged. There's a lot of interesting stuff that these two groups have in common, and the stir they've created in the past, and with these new attempts. Big publishers won't touch these 'old games', but clearly there's a demand for them.
