So uh did everyone hear that there's going to be a new Cosmos series next year, presented by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and made by a team including Ann Druyan (Carl Sagan's widow) and Seth MacFarlane? I don't immediately recall if I or someone else already mentioned it here.

Also, no comments on Undertale? Really? I know games can be intimidating to non-gamers, but it's a free (the STORE link is presently for the soundtrack), roughly half-hour demo (though one with multiple endings that reward playing it more than once) that has both an instruction booklet (with pictures!) and a particularly gentle learning curve, will run even on old and low-end Windows PCs, and is already swimming in rave reviews after just a few weeks. Also the music is pretty great. And like I say, don't let the initial cutesy, children's-story-like intro mislead you.

I haven't yet. Tell me about it? (I am, admittedly, wondering if the female character depicted alongside the male character in the advertisements is playable or just an NPC co-star. This has been known to affect my purchasing decisions.)

If I have some extra cash this week I am going to go to go to a magic booster draft. :D I should bring my trade binder along I have a lot of things to get rid of.

I propose that any Geeks going to the reunion should put together a trivia night or some other fun Geeky event! Are any of you going?

I'm ridiculously obsessed with NDT. I can't wait for this show!

Not I. That would involve "socializing." (Also travel. Travel is expensive.)

So far I have played a girl in the beginning they don't show and him. I will let you if you get to play her later. It is very cool. I haven't played much yet but I am hoping to play more today.

I just built a new deck for myself. I am still tweaking it and figuring out what I want to do and how it is going to work.

A good way to start your Sunday Geek.

I found out about Neil doing the Cosmos reboot through his Star Talk podcast and was instantly excited. He is the only person I feel comfortable with being the project's "face." I hope it's as awesome as I think it will be.


In other news...

I'm killing time at work and can't really skim the entire thread, show of hands for Whovians?

Anyone seen Man of Steel yet? I have already seen it twice. There are a few Easter Eggs in it and I have found two. I am also currently rewatching Game of Thrones. The PS4 and XboxOne have been priced what are everyone's thought on that? I am definitely getting a PS4. Xbox not supporting used games is going to hurt them.

I have no desire to see Man of Steel, but I too am rewatching GoT. I just finished the last available book, also. I really enjoy this series!

Mock all you want, I am SUPER excited for the next Hunger Games movie to come out later this year!

I heard someone say Man of Steel was just OK

I'm fine with my current gaming system, I think. I mainly use it for parties.

I have to be careful with games, because I get too into them and end up wasting a lot of time! And my time is very valuable these days
