Cutest Kickstarter ever? Love at First Byte

November 13, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Back this Campaign] Love at First Byte’s Kickstarter campaign gets my attention through its shameless use of a cute attack dog. It’s an interesting juxtaposition to the well covered Elite Kickstarter which launched without a video or even any concept art.

Yanick Roy blogged today at BioWare about Mass Effect 4. It’s a good start. Roy reveals his traditional gamer past. He was lured into computer RPGs by Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, along with Neverwinter Nights – like many of us – but unlike many of us he landed a job at BioWare. I’d regularly […]
