Strafe

I saw the Kickstarter project for Strafe making the rounds yesterday and have nothing but the best things to say for their trailer. It is, 100%, a pitch perfect rendition of early 90's game trailers but with that slight extra twist of manic expression that comes from 20+ years of reflection. It's on par with this gem, and that's saying a lot.

The project itself is a lofty one - $185k for a first person shooter with randomly generated levels. But, given the scope of the game, and the potential reach it needs to find its audience I don't think it's impossible. If you consider yourself a indie gamer, this certainly seems like a good idea for backing. If not, enjoy that commercial and consider backing just as payment for that joy.
