NM, sent you a link via the forum chat.

There is an Allies discord, but I don't see a way to link it? I think anyone can invite you, though. What is your Discord ID?

Yeeeeaaaaah! My #1 and #2 are #1 and #2! I'm a weird everyman!

I only wish I hag donated more to the Shovel Knight Kickstarter.

I with that, I think all my HMs made it. 2014 was a great year.

@pepeeltoro805 eeeeeeee, this is good news.... it was mine too.

@bam541 Here's hoping.

I didn't enough people played this on the Wii U to put it up this high. Huh.

I think my HMs being the only ones making it to this list so far says something about my weird, disparate likes. Which is totally cool. Unless 2 of my top 4 somehow end up in the final top 4...

Videogames are so weird in this way. The last Michael Keaton/Time Burton Batman flick came out in 1992. The first System Shock came out in 1994 and the 2nd in 1999. Now, almost 20 years later for SS and just a little while longer for that Batman production, why should we expect a 3rd?

You're right bringing up other games that cover similar ground, but without the IP's name attached to it. We get great things in the "same vein of" category all the time in gaming, and it works. Of course, it's a good sign that the genre System Shock falls into is popular enough to be successful, so what's to be done?

Reboot. Just a nice, solid, "this is a new game for a new era" reboot. Just like we get a new creators' takes on Batman, Superman, Star Trek, etc, we should get a new take on System Shock. Sure, change it up. Make it feel new, and tells us a new story (or a thematically similar one in a different way), but give me SHODAN, give me space monkeys and give me a giant space adventure that makes me feel creeped out and afraid enough that exploring becomes a tense effort in staying alive.

Here's hoping those Kickstarter guys are getting it done right.
