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.

Did anyone pick up The Last of Us? So far it is simply amazing!!!!

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.
 

If only we could play online for free.

I agree......pretty soon m14 will be out and I am not excited for m13 to be leaving me.......I am going to miss Thragtusk.

Are you a tourney player?

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?

I sometimes play in tournaments. I usually play Friday night.

Who!!!

I ♥ Daleks

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!

Hunger Games was an amazing read. Divergent is good as well.

I enjoyed Man of Steel. I hear you about the wasting time, but I have had a system since Atari. I am excited to see what limits these systems get pushed to and how the next gen looks.

The XBox One can jump in a lake. Not just because of the used games thing; I'm already a big fan of Steam, which is a digital distribution service that ties purchases to an account. But the thing with the Kinect spying on you is just bloody creepy. Even I have my limits.

I also won't be getting a PS4 right away. I'm not interested in the details of the system (except perhaps for holyshitwhatthehell stuff like the XBone's Kinect), only the games that will be released for it. If games come out for it that I happen to want, then it'll go on my list, though I may wait for a price drop. In the meantime, I'm actually more likely to get a PS3 after the price drop that will inevitably hit once the PS4 is released, since there's a title I want for it that's coming out later this summer/this fall and... yeah I'm not gonna talk about it here because I'm honestly kind of ashamed of myself but anyway.

I have a Wii U. Feel free to laugh, but this is because I buy systems for the games that are on them. If you are about to say "But there are no games for the Wii U," my counterargument is "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate," which I've already played for a couple hundred hours or so. The 3DS is also starting to get tempting, what with Animal Crossing: New Leaf coming out and the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between and Yoshi's New Island. As a kid I played the ever-loving daylights out of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Yoshi's Island, so direct sequels to them after all these years definitely holds a lot of appeal to me.

I squealed so loud I'm pretty sure my neighbors heard me the first time I watched this trailer.

I usually stick to modern, casual or drafts. Standard is too pricey.

Man of Steel was OK, unless you are 15 then of course it may be awesome.

It had one too many fights and way too much destruction. I mean seriously it got to the point where you just rolled your eyes.

I must say the new man of Steel is quite a sight. I watched it with a few of my gay friends and we all thought he was hot, so that may be another reason to go see it.

Other than than, I'll leave you with this. It's funny!

Any Ghost World/Daniel Clowes fans out there? There's a good chance I'm going to his exhibit in Chicago this weekend and I'm beyond excited.

It's steampunk and Legos!

I've mentioned it a couple other places but I GOT THE SPECIAL EDITION DOCTOR WHO 50TH ANNIVERSARY STAMPS.

They come in a fancy package with all sorts of fun info.

I was so excited to see them. Unexpected presents rule.
