Things aren't looking too good right now, 12 days to go and barely over 40%. They've announced linux support, added more swag, and more gameplay video and even with tweets by Felicia Day and Zachary Quinto they still aren't picking up any more steam.

I think there is only a bonus if you subscribe and it think it's a speeder or something like that EDIT: http://www.swtor.com/info/friends

Unfortunately, it's not that way anymore GD. You can be a "contract PFC" by any of the following 12 or more college credits at or above the 100 level Eagle scout Certain job experience (police, fireman) with at least 2 references Get 2 friends to sign up So being an Eagle Scout will give you an advantage even in the USMC nowadays

Don't they also have a policy against atheists and agnostics? Even though I don't think it's right for them to discriminate against gays if they are a private organization then I guess that is their right.

New update with some gameplay footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODTXH63Hcbg

I think it's a pretty decent compromise

Since they were getting so much backlash about the f2p model they just announced that they are going with the Guild Wars approach. So now you have a client version and no monthly fees or freemium. EDIT: They are keeping a f2p server up as well for those who prefer not to pay anything or don't mind the microtransactions

They put out a new update to try to ease some fears about it being browser based and free to play. It uses the same engine as Wasteland 2 and they are planning on releasing a client version of the game as well so you don't have to play it in a browser if you don't want to.

Ctrl + click I think and the new ones I think you just click with the right side of the one button to rule them all... or just buy a mouse with 2 or more buttons

I think Microsoft still owns the rights and Smith and Tinker (founded by Jordan Weisman, creator of Shadowrun) licensed it from them then sublicensed it to Cliffhanger and Harebrained Schemes (also owned by Weisman). Or I could have just made that whole thing up

I went in for much less than I paid to Shadowrun Returns but I still backed it. Don't know much about Jagged Alliance Online though but I figure even if the game sucks (if it manages to get funded) at least I get another Shadowrun source book out of the deal.

Cliffhanger just took their Shadowrun MMO to Kickstarter

One that I enjoyed but don't see listed is Ergo Proxy EDIT: Possibly Gantz too but the aliens are usually really silly

Just came back from the last drive in theater in the area. I wanted to take my wife because she had never been and I think she really enjoyed it, more the experience than the actual movies themselves. They were showing Age Ice: Continental Drift, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Prometheus. I enjoyed the first two but not Prometheus, I guess I was just expecting more... or maybe I was just ready to go after sitting through two other movies. Also, saw the new Spiderman yesterday and I definitely enjoyed it more than the Raimi flicks if only for the fact that he had an actual web shooter

Bad Planet Kickstarter Never heard of the comic book but... Ugly alien main character - check Creepy alien spiders - check Ugly alien killing creepy alien spiders - check Under $20 - check

The Last Dragon I like to watch it every couple of years, it was a childhood favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86VL3dTSCWM&feature=related Always puts a smile on my face

The Secret World. I don't think it's the game for me though but I keep playing because I'm tired of SWTOR and I don't have anything else at the moment.
