@BuzzPatterson I've seen this at a couple of airshows, and it's really stunning to see in person. They've also done the slow flyovers with gears and flaps down and it looks like it's just floating.

@notch I got a big grin on my face when I first saw interactions between the different mechanics. Some really clever stuff. Also, after the first launch, it seems to start up and exit instantly. What a joy.

@Jonathan_Blow I actually grinned when I got the latest puzzle. This feels a lot like the brain unlocking I felt in Portal.

@Jonathan_Blow Now *that* is a tutorial! And the instant quit to desktop is great. Two things badly needed these days. Loving the world and the puzzles so far!

@BaronDestructo Oh I loved the Berzerker Books. I still remember the Time element of Brother Assassin. Such a great series!

We started watching SG-1 on DVDs from Netflix (back in the mail days) as my wife was recovering from 1st baby. We caught up and started watching weekly. When the 2 kids were older, we had a family rewatch and they're both big fans. Same for Babylon 5. Same for original Star Wars. The industry doesn't understand that the new generation still appreciates existing genre franchises and the formula doesn't need to be changed to attract them. SG has so many existing fans, they'd be instant hits just by honoring the history.
