Surprise to no one except to maybe the publisher that said "No" to Mr. Igarashi. I thought it would definitely be funded but I actually didn't expect it to be the single-day raging fire of interest that it has turned into.
It reached the minimum funding goal by around 1 PM Central US time and then when I check on the page again at around 9:30 PM it was just under 1 Million dollars raised.
The kickstarter promo video reminds me of a video game commerical from the 1990s. See the video below.
While the game is already been fully funded and the listed stretch goals have been reached you still have 30 days to decide if you want to be a backer . Especially the tiers where you start receiving a physical copy and other items.

Origin Humble Bundle 2 update - Wing Commander and more added
Had to make a post about this because even more (older) great games got added to the current main deal going on the Humble Bundle site.
If you want a listing of the other games I posted up part 1 last week
Once again you will need EA's Origin digital download client/service to install these games onto your computer. What did EA throw in for those paying for the tier 2 (average) price? Older games as in pre-2000

- Wing Commander III
- Wing Commander IV
- These two Wing Commander games are the famous for having those full motion videos featuring live-actors like Mark Hamil and Malcolm McDowell in the cutscenes. Both titles are space/sci-fi flight shooter from the 1990s. A joystick is highly recommended if you plan to play it. Without a doubt, two high production Space/flight shooter games.
- Sim City 2000
- The Classic city building/management game from Maxis. I don't think I really need to say too much about this game. The game was so popular that it was ported over from the PC to various home consoles of the time. A game originally from 1995.
- Ultima VII: Complete edition
- I've never played this game but it does come with a lot of expansions A game from 1992 and the oldest game in the bundle

Just watched Battlefront trailer
It's no longer just a tease anymore. It's as real as the movie and scheduled to be released just as soon too.
I'll come out and admit to anyone reading this at 1 minute and 42 seconds into the trailer video I cried serious tears of joy. In-atmosphere Starfighter dogfights, Yes! No Outer Space but in the atmosphere you run the risk of crashing into terrain. X-Wings, TIE Fighters. Call in air strikes Y-wings for rebels and probably TIE Bombers for Imperial side.
Most of the video was actually land-based combat but I would just spawn in the Starfighters most of the time if that turns out to be an option in the game.
Here's what I noticed...
What I want to know more about
Watch the Battlefront reveal trailer for yourself ...
I certainly hope this November release date isn't some sort of
hurried push to beat The Force Awakens out the gate, which is coming
out in theaters in December. DICE/EA has been receiving some bad press
for Battlefield Hardline but I truly hope they make this reboot of Star
Wars: Battlefront a good one.

Here's what I noticed...
- Rebellion vs Galactic Empire
- Rebels had more than just human species on the battlefield
- There will be different player classes. Trailer was more focused on the Rebel side though
- Fear the Imperial Walkers
- You can play as Hero/Villain characters like in the previous battlefront games
- Endor, Hoth, Tatooine locations
What I want to know more about
- What kind of force power implementation is there
- There was a Star Destroyer in the sky, will be like Elite Squadron?

EA going to release an info update about the new Star Wars game today
Yesterday something very interesting showed up in my inbox and it was Star Wars related.You're probably thinking it was a page or link about the Force Awakens' 2nd trailer but nope It was about the Revival of the Battlefront series.
As a refresher since I haven't posted about it on this blog EA has tasked DICE (developers of Battlefield shooter series) with bringing back The Star Wars 3rd person shooter back to current generation consoles and PC. The first video they released were still renders and emphasis on how excited the dev team is to work on Star Wars.
Part of me hopes that they will focus on how they plant to implement vehicles and space combat in the game. Still, Battlefront on the Frosbite game engine sounds so exciting. We'll find out later today.

The Humble Origin Bundle 2
Going on right now EA has made a fairly good bundle available on the Humble Bundle Website. Older games and EA's Origin digital download software will be needed to redeem and download most of the games.They do offer a variation on gameplay style. RPG, RTS, FPS, and even casual. All well known franchises that EA has published from 2002 to 2014.
What you get if you pay at least a minimum of $1.00 USD or more...
Dragon Age Origins
- The first game in the Western developed fantasy RPG series. Developed by Bioware From 2009. The third game in the series was released last November.
Peggle
-The Casual game in tier one, I have never played this game personally but my cousins and relatives were really into it. Developed by Pop Cap Games and released back in 2007
Dead Space 2
-The Science fiction/Action Horror game. A 3rd person shooter where you had to figure out the enemy's weak point or else end up wasting ammo. Was released in 2011. There are two other main games in the series
Medal of Honor Allied Assault
-The oldest game in the bundle is this World War II FPS game. The Medal of Honor series was originally the idea of Director Steven Spielberg and the in-game music was composed by Michael Giacchino (Star Trek 2009, Into Darkness, Jupiter Ascending) and it includes the expansions along with the base game.
Update: I just checked how much the EA Origin store and if you get it from there the 4 games listed above would cost you around $55.00 USD
Command and Conquer: Generals plus Zero Hour expansion
- A Real Time strategy game from from 2003, You play 3 different factions. USA, China and the GLA. At the time of release could have been considered a modern/present day themed RTS

Torchlight: Going down deeper into depths with the Lady Knight
The lady knight and her faithful white tiger have now reached the "teen" dungeon floors 13-17 and have dueled quite a few notable enemies gaining fame after besting them. getting lower into the dungeon you start to encounter enemies with ranged attacks and spellcasters.
By this point I switched from weapon and shield to dual wielding swords. To regain some of the defense stats I lost by replacing a shield I have begun augmenting my existing equipment with gems that increase armor points. Purchased and learned the spell of self-healing since mana regenerates over time. Frees up a few blocks of inventory space too.
A feature that I thought would come more useful to me was the sending your pet into town to sell his/her inventory and well my play style is to give my pet all the unidentified item drops to hold onto. I just find it so much easier to open a town portal and sell unwanted items myself. Still nice that it is implemented though.
Only died once so far in the game but the difficulty has certain gone up since I am nearing level 20 and downward.
