Here's some news about WFIRST, NASA's repurposed NSA 2.4m space telescope. Apparently it will include a coronograph for spotting nearby planets around stars.

Sympathies to St. Louis for losing their team. It totally sucks and is unfair to the fans. P.S. I no longer follow the NBA because of what happened to the Sonics... and I know I'm not alone in that regard.

I don't see this as bad news. I pay for the games I play, so I'm also paying for the pirated copies that unscrupulous people play for free. More money to the game developers => better profitability => lower risk for investing in new games.

Yes, the specs are impressive; thanks for pointing that out.

Good battle today with the Vikings. I figured it was going to be a much tougher, defensive matchup, and the Hawks just got out by the skin of their teeth. Hard luck about that final missed kick; they came in with a good game plan and it very nearly worked.

It's pretty funny yes, but is it real or photoshop? Must be an alternate timeline with whack job lunatics on every corner.

Just kidding...

I don't think they need to widen the class base or provide multi-classing. Some unique racial specialties would be welcome though.

Tastes vary, I guess. I've tried Planescape Torment three times and couldn't really get interested long enough to stick with it. Still don't see what the fuss is about; it's just an oddball setting with few redeeming qualities. PT wouldn't even make my top 25 list. Baldur's Gate should be high on their list instead--not just BG2.

There was a rational reason given for Wizards not to wear certain armor in an old game called DragonQuest. It posited that iron interfered with the process of casting spells. Hence the Wizards in that game were limited to using armor made of bronze or leather. It's game-world specific of course, and there's no reason why other RPGs need to follow suit. But it does make for an interesting mechanic: if you want to prevent Wizards from escaping justice, you clap them in irons.

Nice to see an indie sci-fi game like this. I'd like to give it try once my gaming backlog is cleared.
