GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb writes: "We contacted Kickstarter and a spokesperson told us that it was the crowd-funding site’s biggest year ever, and the 52,000 backers who contributed more than $79,000,000 toward game-related projects were a big part of that."

My wife hates Kickstarter because of all the charges that keep popping up on our bank statement. I just can't help it! I want to help out EVERYONE'S dreams!

My dream involves a naked fight between Andrew Jackson and Andrew Dice Clay, only they both have the body of 1995 Kathy Ireland.

I'll give you $10 to help achieve that dream. What kind of perk do I get for my donation?
