I like the first Cocteau Twins album (Treasure) and JAMC, but I've never been that big on MBV. Some of the bands that have claimed them as a primary influence are great though (i.e. the aforementioned Medicine or Lovesliescrushing).

There will be a Goddus demo soon, no?

I hope so, they've got 3 days left.
Edit: Here's the prototype video uploaded today. Not too shabby for a few weeks work.

Surprised (but pleased) to see Godus made it, and a couple of stretch goals already too.
Neckbeard support kicks in at £550K

I watched that prototype vid and the multiplayer one with Peter himself.
I glad they've made it but only because of PMs history. I liked Populous 1 and 2 back in the day, and I also enjoyed Populous 3 a lot.
I doubt this will be for me though; I'm a bit bored of this type of game and if I really want to play a God/Sim advance yo' peeps game I'd go back to Alpha Centauri.

I backed (
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/talesofgames/barkley-2-an-rpg-sequel-to-barkley-shut-up-and-jam) Barkley 2 (52 hours to go as of writing this), the sequel to Barkley: Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, the funniest (and frankly also the best) RPG I've played since Anachronox. I was initially very wary of this, as a commercial sequel to a free amateur effort that stole most of its art from old 16-bit console JRPGs sounded more like a bait-and-run than anything serious, but the guys are being surprisingly professional about it. I'm convinced. The gameplay has changed from JRPG to what looks to me like something between old Zeldas and Soldat. I'll miss weird turn-based b-ball fighting mechanics, but judging by the lovely pitch video the humour seems to be intact.
I don't quite have the balls to give them enough money for a cyberdwarf bodypillow backer reward though.

(
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/872297630/gamestick-the-most-portable-tv-games-console-ever) GameStick, a superlight Android console.
Going even one step further than Ouya, this one is just a wireless controller and a stick you plug into your TV's HDMI port, and you can order one for around 70-80 bucks.
I haven't backed it but it looks tempting. A not terribly expensive way to play SNES emulators and Waking Mars and the like on the telly. Being Open means all kinds of apps can likely be used on it and I don't think Android is going to go away soon so the lifespan of the device should be good. Hmm. What does TTLG think?
