Grail To The Thief Kickstarter
Long time [H] reader Elias Aoude sends word that the Kickstarter for Grail To The Thief is live and needs your support. Watch the video below and read the description to see if this is something you want to pledge your support to.
Grail to the Thief is an interactive audio adventure for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that can be played using only sound, without the need for visuals. The game has been designed with the needs of the blind and visually impaired in mind but is also designed to be played by the non-impaired. Our goal is to deliver an exciting, immersive experience in which the player will always be fully aware of what is happening through the use of voice-overs, sound effects, ambient sound and music.

Corsair Carbide SPEC 01
The gang at Vortez have the budget friendly Corsair Carbide SPEC 01 mid-tower ATX case on the test bench today.
Known for their excellent computer cases, Corsair are now a household name in this competitive arena.
