My latest Kickstarter pick: Superhot

I'm not a huge gamer. My reflexes just aren't that good, and since all of the new, cool games are those first-person shooter games where you need good reflexes, I pretty much had to give up on that hobby.


And I'm probably not the only one.


That's where Superhot comes in. Superhot is a first-person shooter game, but time isn't constantly moving. If you sit back for a breather or to recharge your shaky hand-finger coordination, the game stops with you.


If Skyrim had been more like that, I wouldn't have been eaten by wolves quite so much and might have stuck with it for more than a week.


To be completely honest, I don't know enough about video games to make a judgement on this idea. I played the demo, which seemed fun, but since the last game I played on a game console was Final Fantasy X, I'm not sure that you should take my word on this.


So go over to the Superhot campaign site, play the demo, and see if it is something you can get behind.


And while you're there, feel free to check out the campaign site for my book The Talented. Because, you know, it's awesome and deserves a buck or two. Or ten.


Or some props on my awesome Wordle designs.
