Reload: Never lose save games again

Last week I tweeted on my annoyance of losing save games due to Windows Update. A guy named Leon responded to this tweet. He recently started a Kickstarter project for a universal save game manager Reload that synchronizes savegames among different computers. Although game managers, such as Steam, already offer similar features, I still think it has potential, because Reload provides a more advanced features for managing the backups. Furthermore, in the Tweet was actually talking about Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, which doesn’t have a save game manager.

Pledge to this project

Thanks Leon for sharing!

Video Game Remix [Music Video]

If there is one song that lends itself for a geeky rap remix, it is of course Lana Del Rey’s Video Games. Now, I am not really a fan of rap, but this rap of Roboboots sounds pretty good.
