Being inattentive in my dotage I missed the news last late summer. – 12:45 AM GMT

@arthurwyatt I certainly had never heard of it until I SAW AN AD someplace. I haven’t really screwed around with it enough to evaluate it. – 12:50 AM GMT

@arthurwyatt it was a SQUARE FORMAT ONLINE DISPLAY AD that I CLICKED ON – 12:59 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt although, I do recall seeing this, which must be a promo:johnmartz.com/trexels – 01:00 AM GMT

@arthurwyatt no iOS. also I wasn’t partial to the clickpanic play style. Star Command seems very closely modeled on FTL, fwiw. – 01:10 AM GMT

Now that everyone has a tablet in hand, there should be lite versions of such that can also cast to the big screen in your living room. – 09:37 AM GMT
