OT: Fellow Hokie plays on childhood memories with new kickstarter game

Chuck Hoover, Architecture '04 is VP of production at Schell Games. They're putting out a game via kickstarter called "Orion Trail." Think Star Trek meets Oregon Trail, pixelated graphics and all.

OT but kinda not, there's am homage to Oregon Trail set in a zombie apocalypse called Organ Trail. It's kind of addictive in an Atari 2600 kind of way.
