Technically, it's not too late yet to pledge for Elsinore [External Link] yet; there are about 18 hours remaining for would-be backers of a crazy "Groundhog Day meets Hamlet" point and click adventure

Quoting: GuestThat's not good news. Sadly Project Cars is not what it promised (a simulation), so I'll probably pass on that.
Wait, what did you hear about Project Cars?

Editorial: A Conversation About Broken Age

As a Broken Age backer who wasn't blown away by the 1st half, I'm encouraged to hear that the 2nd half has more meaty puzzles. I know DFA was intending that all along, and even more so after the feedback on first half, but it's nice to hear fellow adventure gamers mention that the puzzles are indeed better.

What?? It was stated near the beginning of the article

Rather than write a review type article, I thought it might be more interesting to sit down with fellow GOL editor Flesk and compare our thoughts and experiences of the game. Like myself, Flesk is also a volunteer community moderator on the Double Fine forums and an original backer of the game.
Bold added by me, but I noticed it first time reading through the article so I read the remainder of the article knowing what perspective they were coming from... even before they started mentioning having made friends with DFA staff members

Zowie Gear EC2-A Gaming Mouse: A Linux Gamer's Review, Initial Impressions And Early Performance

That was a great review, very insightful, and I'm glad it was on Zowie rather than Roccat because Roccat was reviewed here before. Now I know of 2 suitable options for Linux-friendly mouse, and can pick the appropriate one based on whether software configurability is desired or not. Thanks!
