Throw Trucks With Your Mind – Previewed
April 11th - via: cliqist.com
I think we can all agree that the Jedi Counsel is a pretty cool crowd, and pretty much anyone with a decent midi-chlorean count can, at very least, do a cool trick or two. I grew up with parents who were both very firm believers that the Star Wars trilogy was the single best piece of media to expose me to at a young age, and they were right. I was even young and stupid enough in 1999 to appreciate Episode 1, and ever since I first saw that beautiful yellow crawl of text, I’ve wanted to be a Jedi, but unfortunately, the technology to lift something with brain power alone hasn’t quite arrived yet… Yeah, that’s what I thought. That’s exactly what I thought. Turns out, it’s not true. I’ve been throwing trucks with my mind all damn day. (Read More)
It's time for an update! 
April 9th - via: kickstarter.com
So, with the successful Kickstarter, we demoed Throw Trucks With Your Mind at the Game Developers' Conference. It was a blast. We even got to see a few of you, which was great. I severely underestimated just how hard it would be to demo the game... (Read More)

March 15th - via: kickstarter.com

Brain-wave video game project reaches Kickstarter goal
March 12th - via: latimes.com
With just two days to go, Lat Ware reached his Kickstarter goal of raising $40,000 that will allow him to finish work on a video game played using brain waves. "Sometimes dreams come true," Ware said in an e-mail. (Read More)
The Video Game Kickstarter Report – Week of March 8
March 8th - via: zeboyd.com
It’s a famous computer RPG extravaganza this week!
First, we have a spiritual sequel to Planescape: Torment with Torment: Tides of Numenera. It’s not an actual sequel to Planescape: Torment since they couldn’t get the rights, but it has many of the same staff members and takes place in a similar but original setting (intersection between various planes). The kickstarter set a new record for fastest kickstarter to reach $1 million in around 8 hours. It’s currently at $2.1 million so it has a good shot at breaking the all-time record for most money raised in a game software kickstarter (currently held by Project Eternity with just under $4 million).

Mind games: Using brain waves to play a video game
March 8th - via: latimes.com
Lat Ware placed the NeuroSky headset on my 10-year-old son's head and then began making the adjustments. The device detects brain waves, and then digitizes them. Ware, 28, had to make sure the headset was picking up the right waves before the real fun could begin. (Read More)

Exclusive Interview with Mastermind Behind the ‘Throw Trucks With Your Mind’ Kickstarter
March 6th - via: starpulse.com
It might have taken longer than you would have expected ten or even twenty years ago, but you can now use your mind to play a video game.
Haven’t picked up such a headset yet that lets you do that? That’s not surprising given all the major game developers aren’t that interested in the technology. That’s where a new Kickstarter for a game called Throw Trucks With Your Mind comes in. (Read More)

Jedi wannabe creates mind-controlled video game
March 2nd - via: latimes.com
A "Star Wars" fan has made a video game that lets players throw virtual objects with their minds, but he's having trouble selling it because people don't believe it works.
"One blogger that I reached out to accused me of fabricating the entire thing," said Lat Ware, a 28-year-old game developer in Sunnyvale, Calif. (Read More)
Crowdfunding Picks: Throw Trucks With Your Mind & Other Cool Control Interfaces
March 2nd - via: techdirt.com
For many, many years, we've talked about all kinds of business models, including ideas (and early attempts) at crowdfunding before "crowdfunding' was a word. Obviously, over the past couple years, Kickstarter has become "a thing," along with a number of other platforms, like IndieGogo, PledgeMusic and many more. On a nearly daily basis, we get pitches from people running cool crowdfunding projects, but we rarely write about them. Mostly, I've tried to only write about campaigns where there was something new or instructive about the way the crowdfunding was being done -- rather than the specific product itself. (Read More)
Why Can't This Breathtaking Game Get Funded on Kickstarter?
March 1st - via: allthingsd.com
The promise of crowdfunding is alluring: Creative people can turn their ideas into reality democratically, without having to compromise or sell their souls to a big corporation.
And certainly, more than a few projects live up to that dream, a notable recent example being the super-cool 3-D printing pen 3Doodler, which AllThingsD’s Liz Gannes wrote about earlier this week. (Read More)
Maybe Kickstarter’s Just Not That Into You
March 1st - via: technologyreview.com
Eric Johnson over at AllThingsD calls our attention to a “breathtaking” game, the pleasingly literally titled Throw Trucks With Your Mind, on Kickstarter. The game, beloved by those who try it, uses a NeuroSky headset to enable you to control objects onscreen with the sheer force of your mind. Multiple people who’ve played the game say it’s about as close as you’re going to get to feeling like a Jedi. Sounds like a winner, right? (Read More)
