As a big fan of the Myst series, I'm pretty excited that Cyan Worlds is back. Their new game, Obduction, looks pretty cool too. Hopefully it gets the funding it needs.

I used to have Sam Waterston as my avatar but photobucket added a watermark and also Law & Order has been cancelled for 10 years so it's time for me to move on.

Not only are you a fan of one of my favorite Law & Order characters, but I'd love to play another Myst or Riven. Cyan Worlds had a Steam sale a while back, bought the whole kit and kaboodle. That's still an idiom, right? Anyway, this is something interesting, from what I see in the video.

I bought all of the games back before Steam/GOG/Digital Distribution, so I spent a bit more on the original versions, but as a big Myst/Cyan fan that's fine with me! Riven is my favorite but I've enjoyed all of the Myst games.

Hopefully they get the funding so they can work on this. It would be great to get a new Cyan game and once Dual Destinies is released I'll need a new game to wait anxiously for.

They seemed to be doing well, almost halfway there in three days.

Yeah, I couldn't find the games before the distribution. My dad had the original Myst, and I had the opportunity to buy it for the DS, but couldn't find the money.

I understand the feeling. After Dual Destinies, there's Super Smash Bros. Wii U and Mighty No. 9, but those won't come out for quite some time (I believe the latter is slated for 2015?). It's good to have something to look forward to. Because after Dual Destinies comes out? The rest of the year is waiting for Doctor Who and my girlfriend to finish her last semester. Most of my waiting was for The Stanley Parable HD Remix (which is sublime), Papers, Please to release on Steam, Pokemon X/Y, and the eighth season of How I Met Your Mother to be released on DVD (and then Netflix, becaues why buy DvD's anymore?).

I'm also looking forward to Smash Bros. (Mighty Number 9 looks interesting but I don't know much about it). I'm also personally looking forward to the new Star Wars films, Layton and the Azran legacies, the new Zelda games for 3DS and Wii U, and of course Layton Vs Phoenix Wright (although honestly, I'm not nearly as excited for that one was for Dual Destinies. As someone who "met" GS4-era Phoenix and the GS4 gang first, It's great to finally go back to the "present" and continue the AA story forward.)

I finished Myst and Riven, but I never got around to beating Myst III: Exile, Myst IV: Revelation, URU: Ages Beyond Myst, Myst V: End of Ages, or the now-open-source Myst Online, so after I finish my Ace Attorney marathon I might go and do a Myst Marathon.
