I don't know... I mean, I'd love to see this done, but I really don't like the post-DF kickstarter band-wagon. Let's face it, the amount of projects started on Kickstarter, both from industry old-time professionals and more younger people, has sky-rocketed after Double Fine's success, and this leads to over-saturation. Double Fine Adventure - awesome, Wasteland 2 - awesome, but by this point, personally I'm like 'I will not even think about spending money anymore', and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Patience is also important.

I do not blame them jumping on the bandwagon.. For me it's not annoyance from over saturation, it more I just can't possibly fund all of them so generously... So I have to choose the ones most important to me.. DF and Larry $100.. Jane Jensen and tex maybe $15 - $50 after my bills are taken care of first.

For me it just feels like Al Lowe deserves the win the most, the industry really seemed to have shit on the guy and he, more so then any other developer has always answered every bit of fanmail and provided free material and games for his old titles.. The genuinely seems like a really nice man and that should be rewarded

It's an adventure game series that was created by Al Lowe at Sierra (which was a (friendly) rival in the adventure game market of LucasArts, the latter of which is the company at which most of the initial staff from Telltale worked).

Ah, cool. I might just drop $15 or maybe even $75 on it. Seems interesting.

Monkey Island, Kings Quest, Sam and Max and Leisure Suit Larry.. are my all time favorite adventure game franchises.

If the money keeps increasing at the rate it is now I estimate they will be anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 short of their goal.. Time to spread the word again... ask all your friends and family (probably not Grandma) to back this thing.

Hooray!

Well, Kickstarter projects follow a pretty remarkably consistent pattern. There's an initial burst, followed by a longer period of fairly stable but low income, followed by a big burst on the final few days as the fence-sitters come in.

Actually, the drive is not doing that badly. It could certainly be better, but it's around halfway there with a fair bit of time to go. If they keep giving good video updates, and release some cool news or new rewards they should probably be ok.

Also this was in my Sub-Box today.

Still not feeling like paying for that remake. I'd rather get the collection on Steam. Or a complete new Game from this project.

You're not crazy (or maybe I'm crazy too!).
I just re-read the e-mail and re-checked their Kickstarter page and there's no mention of a T-shirt in any of the tiers (at this time).

It's Kickstarter's project of the day... might help it a bit. By the end of the day, we should have a good idea of whether this is going to pan out or not.

They put the T-Shirt in the $40 tier they have not showed it yet but it sounds like it is going to be a Leftys Bar t-shirt.... Not a bad deal really..

For those of you that do not know AMA means Ask Me Anything... I guess Al will be on there for 2 hours so if there was ever a question you wanted to ask about the Larry games or Freddy Pharkas or some of his other games, Friday will be a great day for you... spread the word to all your Adventure gaming friends..

So reddit Friday 13th

Yup just a reminder on the times

So reddit Friday 13th

Pacific time
6pm

Mountain
7pm

Central
8pm

Eastern
9pm

Here is a video of Josh Mandel talking about his goals for LSL...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76h1Y...5ArLcSlC-p8Dc=

Its NOT going to be a 1:1 remake.. its going to have all sorts of new jokes added... and fully voiced.. I do not see how anyone who is a fan of the series wouldn't want that.... This is a team of Sierra veterans trying to make it happen.. I loved the MI special editions but imagine how much cooler they would have been if they had Ron, Tim, and Dave working on new content for them... that is what could happen with this.
