It's gonna be more like an actual game. Unlike Eve, which is MS Excel with a space skin.

I try to be kind to Eve as I enjoyed my time playing it and it really has done some unique things, but yeah, it doesn't really play like a game so much as a number crunching simulator. Combining that level of detail in its universe and economy with good dogfighting mechanics could make for a very fun game.

Ah man Moral Orel, the show I had to stop watching because it was hitting too close to home.
When I drinking real bad, that dad, Clay, was frighteningly similar to myself. Well, except I don't beat my daughter with a belt (or at all for that matter).

You know, I used to mock Eve for that too, until I sank a few timeless evenings into Patrician 3. I finally quit when I looked at my desk in horror and realized I actually made spreadshoots and postit notes to keep track of the various town needs, what each ship's trade routes/goods were, and my long-term building strategies for each town.
Now, if only I could be this motivated with real life :|

I'm looking forward to Silverball's second attempt at Kickstarting Pro Pinball. They said they've decided to start smaller, and (I think sensibly) will attempt a campaign for a remake of just "Timeshock!", and hopefully that will pave the way for the rest, and for the new table.
Although each of the existing tables is considered the best by different fans, I believe more people feel that way about "Timeshock!" than any of the others, so it's surely the best choice. I've always considered it a masterpiece, so I really hope that they can get people behind the new campaign, whenever it happens.
I've also pledged for:
* (

* (
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zeropointsoftware/interstellar-marines-prologue) Interstellar Marines: Prologue
* (
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joshparnell/limit-theory-an-infinite-procedural-space-game) Limit Theory
Broken Sword and Limit Theory are both funded (the latter with three weeks still remaining). Interstellar Marines has obviously failed, but I liked the look of it, so I hope they'll find a way to keep going (the world needs more games featuring Terri Brosius, after all).

This is a non-gaming kickstarter, but I think some people here might be interested:
(
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/872104423/beautiful-noise-music-documentary)
It's a documentary on 80's and 90's guitar bands, specifically the Cocteau Twins, Jesus & Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine. It has interviews with tons of musicians who were influenced by them (I actually just found out about this yesterday because Medicine posted it on facebook).
