RPG A Day Catch-up

I forgot about this and am trying to catch-up now.
Day 1: What published RPG do you wish you were playing right now?
I currently wish I was playing my custom blend of OSR goodness (ACKS + LotFP + TBH + Basic Fantasy). Technically all of the components are published, even though I do combine them into a Frankenstein mishmash. I like the domain system from ACKS, the specialist from LotFP, the simplicity of TBH, and some of the refinements from Basic Fantasy.
Day 2: What is an RPG you would like to see published?
I would like to see an RPG that took more inspiration from Invader Zim, Jules Verne, and Re-Animator. Wait... that's what I'm working on... Slightly less self-promotion wise, I would like a non-Savage Worlds Low Life RPG, maybe Basic Roleplaying, B/X retroclone, or some other system.
Day 3: How do you find out about new RPGs?
I trawl the Twitters, Google+, occasionally RPG.net, Tenkar's Tavern, and lots of other sites. Most of the time I just look at my favorite designers' posts on G+ though. However, I typically look for gems that have already been published instead of new games, although I do back a Kickstarter now and then. Reddit is also a great source, especially r/RPG and r/RPGdesign. I found out about The Happiest Apocalypse on Earth, a Kickstarter project for a PbtA RPG, via r/RPG.
