What does the OP-linked project do? It seems to be like RPG Maker, in 3D, except I haven't seen any hints of actual 'mechanics'... Is it just a 3D, interactive visual novel making program? o_o

Also, ptw.

Er... wot? Did you actually watch the video? The one I linked does indeed have a plot and mechanics and even showcases the (admittedly maybe a bit clunky) combat system.

If you're talking about the project Tilla posted, that's not the OP.

No, I did not watch the video. :|

I tend not to watch the video and just read the text; additionally, it's generally not a good idea to watch long (as in, more than 1.5 minutes <.<) videos on my iPod, if it can even play them....

Digging's a lot like surgery, see -- you grab the sharp thing and then drive the sharp end of the sharp thing in as hard as you can and then stuff goes flying and then stuff falls out and then there's a big hole and you're done. I kinda wish there was more screaming, but rocks don't hurt so I guess it can't be helped.

Its an extremely fun card game. Its comparable to RTD in terms of ridiculousness. Also, its cutthroat and while its helpful to be a team, it rarely happens. Any game that includes the Bandanna of Badassery is pretty much amazing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchkin_%28card_game%29

It's a card game, a "munchkin" is a colloquial term among for someone who games PnP RPG's to create the most obscenely powerful character they can. It's seen as something detractive to roleplay.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

Can't not mention Pebble: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android

Now taking votes as to whether they make their shipping deadline with 80x as many orders as originally planned (it certainly seems to be genuine, they've revealed some of the parts they're using and they've sold 1500 of the previous version).

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
