Free Fire

I passed on this game when it first came out because its style didn't grab my interest and it got mixed reviews. However as a promotion for the third entry in the series, Steam was giving away part 2 for free. You can't beat that price so I grabbed it. Transistor is really fun, but as with most indie games the low price also means a short game so it's nice to have Sniper Elite waiting in the wings.

Sing It Again

The shine has worn off ESO, it's just not that great of a game aside from random splashes of cool. If not for Leilani and Mari making it fun I'd have probably stopped playing it already. So mine eye has started to wander to greener pastures and I picked up Transistor, an indie game from the same people who made Bastion. Bastion was a solid game but the soundtrack was really special, and they focused on it again in Transistor. So another fun game with another great soundtrack. Can't go wrong with that formula.

Partial Angel

The Blue Angels did two fly-bys of Nashville this morning. I just watched the first one because I wanted to enjoy it (sometimes I think we miss out on experiences because we're too busy trying to take pictures of them). But the second I tried to snap with...well, not great results as you can see. Better than nothing I suppose!

Space Dragon 3

Here it is in a rendering with the rocket / fuel section attached that gets it into orbit.

Space Dragon 2

What is cool about the Dragon is that its capable of transporting seven astronauts to orbit and then soft-landing anywhere on Earth using thrusters and retractable legs with the accuracy of a helicopter. Then it can be refueled and launched again right away. That's not just in theory, here it is landing during tests. Also the first version of the Dragon has already been in space and docked with the ISS, so its been proven space worthy. That was unmanned though and parachuted back, so it's down to adding live people, how well the landing works after being in space, and how reusable it actually turns out to be. Still it's very exciting to see.
