So some guy called Tim Schafer wants to make this new type of point and
click adventure game...? There's this other guy called Ron Gilbert who's
involved too.

They are probably just amateur wannabes with some crappy idea for a game
that no publisher will buy! You know, sort of how Minecraft was a huge
turkey... However, they have set up a Kickstarter project to try and
fund this quaint little idea anyway.

They've asked for some crazy amount of money, like $400,000 to make this
happen and gave themselves only a month to raise it.

Amazingly, in just 24 hours, they have not only hit their funding
target, but they have shot to $1,000,000, and still have 33 days to
raise more money.

If you want to get in on the action, you can fund the project too at:

But you probably all think the whole thing is a joke and will go
nowhere. Hey, who would blame you, point & click adventures are RUBBISH!

I was reading about this last night. It was amazing pressing F5 on
their site and watching the pledge value shoot up each time!

I will be donating over the weekend, for sure.
