Kickstarter: Own A Piece Of Role-Playing History With A Remake Of Tunnels & Trolls

9e19992f2635ec366446f9ec295c9019_large

As fans of D&D will attest, there are not many games as satisfying as Gygax’s original but darn it if it wasn’t fun to try new platforms when they came out. Tunnels & Trolls, created 37 years ago by Ken St. Andre, wasn’t so much a D&D knock-off but an alternative. St. Andre streamlined the D&D rules, reducing the complexity, and added a bit more humor. For folks unable to get the original D&D books, T&T was a real lifesaver.

Fast cash advance For Every One

There’s much more info about the game at TheSecretDM but for a $ 28 Kickstarter pledge you can grab a softcover copy of the new rules complete with updates. The group, led by St. Andre, has come a long way since the early days of T&T.

Back in the old days, putting out a book like this was easy. Ken’s First Edition was run off at the university’s copy shop, stapled together, and handed to his friends. Even after the Fifth Edition came out, Flying Buffalo would still print solitaire adventures on the leaky old printing press in the back of the warehouse-offices, and staff would spiral-bind the pages together.

I think projects like this really show the power of Kickstarter (and crowdfunding in general). By allowing to “invest” in the things they love projects like this can eschew the typical vagaries of the market. A publisher, for example, could take on this project and sell it through normal distribution systems but by going online the team basically blows their project right into the hands of the most rabid fans. It is, in short, the best way to do things in a connected world.

Plus it’s Tunnels & Trolls. Who doesn’t love trolls?

Foursquare teases a giant mobile app remake, mayors quiver in anticipation

Foursquare teases a giant mobile app remake, mayors quiver in anticipation

Foursquare has been steadily adding to its mobile app since its check-in service took off. A major remake hasn’t been in the cards, however, until now. The company is teasing a major update this week that will reflect Foursquare’s shift from simply broadcasting your coffee shop invasions to recommending where to go next. From what little the company is willing to let slip in advance, the emphasis will be on spotting popular destinations on the map as well as more alluring location pages. There’s still several questions left open, including an exact release date as well as whether or not the update is coming to more than one platform on day one; we’ve only seen iOS shots so far. Still, it’s looking as though fans of Oink and Yelp will find something to like in Foursquare very shortly.

Google Search for iPhone gets the 2.0 remake, full-screen search and swipes aplenty

Image

Google gave its official search app an iPad remake late last year, and now it’s smaller iPhone and iPod touch devices getting the new UI’s treatment. As of Google Search App 2.0, the smaller iOS devices see a big emphasis on full-screen navigation, with an automatic full-screen mode and a dedicated full-screen photo search making the most of the limited display real estate. You can now swipe back to search results like you could with the iPad, and it’s overall much faster in the app to hop between different search types as well as web apps like Calendar or Gmail. There’s still something in it for you if you’ve already been deep into the iPad port’s interface, as the tablet and the iPhone alike can now save photos directly to the iOS camera roll. You’ll need at least iOS 4.2 to live in Google’s non-Android mobile universe, but those that measure up can leap in through the source link.

Final Fantasy X Remake Actually HD Remaster

bit.ly – Subscribe! Twitter.com – Follow Us! www.facebook.com – Like Us! www.clevver.com – Check out our blog! What’s up guys Andrea Rene here for Clevver Games, your source for gaming news. Back at the Tokyo Game Show we heard news from Square Enix that Final Fantasy X was going to be a remake for the PlayStation Vita and the PlayStation 3. . At the recent Taipei Game Show, Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto answered questions from fans about the Final Fantasy series, including confirming that the upcoming remake is fact a remaster. The primary difference is that the game will remain 100% intact, except for graphics enhancements. He said that, “The screen is much prettier than the original.” . Considering the gorgeous OLED screen of the Vita and the high graphics output of the PS3 I have no doubt it will look better than the original PS2 game. The game was originally released back in 2001 and marked the transition of the series from pre-rendered backdrops to fully three-dimensional areas. . It will be interesting to see what they do with the development of the game and if there will be crossover components between the Vita and the PS3. Fun fact, Final Fantasy X was the first in the series to feature voice acting and was the first to get a direct sequel. . I don’t have any more info but as soon as we see some footage, get some screen shots or any other details we’ll bring them to you here on Clevver Games. What do you guys think about this news? Glad it is just a

Taeyang (태양) – Only Look At Me Remake ( HD )

Wedding Dress Remake ( www.youtube.com ) Where U At Remake ( www.youtube.com ) My first music video. To point out, it was never our intention to have our main dancer look like Tae Yang. If you want Tae Yang go watch the official video. Seriously. Why don’t you get someone with the same hair as him? Because we require someone that can dance and has the time to dedicate themselves to a project that they’re not being paid for. End of story. We had no intention to mimic the official MV entirely. We took the video and added our own style/flavor here and there. So please don’t question why something is different. It was quite hard for us to copy the dance exactly and everyone dances at a different level, so it was simplified. Especially considering we aren’t dancers. Is it lagging on HD? Try closing all other tabs/windows/programs, it helps. Otherwise…get a new computer :P Questions & Answers. Q. Why isn’t the guy at 4:27 Tae Yang? A. We pick whoever is the best at dancing and has time available to attend practices and filming. It is pointless to get a person that looks like Tae Yang that can’t dance nor has the time to film and practice. If you want a closer Tae Yang, watch our Prayer video then. Q. It’s “Only Look At Me” you stupid. A. That wasn’t a question. “Only look at me” is long..”look at me” is shorter :P ( Yes I know the meaning is quite different ) Q. Why doesn’t Tae Yang wake up? A. Ask Garrett. Well it fits in with the Korean theme of sad endings :P P Q. You guys

YouTube’s plans to remake TV on the web

YouTube redesign preview

Next week’s New Yorker features an in-depth look from John Seabrook at the history of YouTube and its plans to launch a hundred-channel “YouTV” of sorts in the next six months, complete with its own producers, publishers, and programmers. Seabrooks also profiles Google’s Robert Kyncl, “architect of the single largest cultural transformation” in YouTube’s history, who sees the web changing television as drastically as the upheaval led by the cable companies in the 80s broadcast industry. While the site does huge traffic and receives 48 new hours of video every minute, the average YouTube user watches only 15 minutes a day, far less than the four to five hours your average TV watcher logs. Kyncl told Seabrook, “We’re absolutely nothing…

Halo: Combat Evolved HD Re-Make Unofficially Set For November 15

Flickr’d

It looks like there will be a Halo: Combat Evolved re-make after all. So says mighty Joystiq. It’ll be available on November 15, 2011, 10 years to the day after the game’s original release for the Xbox. Oh, happy day!

What can we expect with this re-make? Supposedly it’ll be running at a higher resolution, 1080p, but who knows if that’s 1080p native or merely upscaled like previous Halo 360 games. I’m certain gamers who exclusively use consoles have no idea what “HD gaming” truly means. Rumblings of a 3D mode, too, but if it’s running in 3D I can’t imagine how low the resolution would have to be. The Xbox 360 isn’t a top-of-the-line Nvidia GPU, you know.

And it won’t necessarily just be a higher resolution, oh my no. The game’s developers, believed to be Saber Interactive, will be using entirely new art assets. She won’t be using the Reach engine, though. Mystery!

Multi-player? Yup, at least online co-op.

If true, and I’ve no read to believe it’s not true, I imagine E3 this year will be all about Halo. Hmm.

Kinect theremin is just too late for the ‘Day the Earth Stood Still’ remake soundtrack (video)

Kinect theremin is here, too late for the awful 'Day the Earth Stood Still' remake soundtrack (video)

The sound of the original theremin frightened audiences of spooky and science fictiony movies in the ’50s and ’60s, and while this digital replication is perhaps a little less chilling it’s also a lot less physical. It’s the so-called Therenect from Martin Kaltenbrunner, created using the Open Frameworks and OpenKinect libraries. To play just hold your hands up, allow the software to detect them, and then let the digital falsetto flow, as Martin kindly demonstrates for you below.
