“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Corona-chan comes for you

The God-Emperor’s epic smackdown

RIP Neil Peart

I’m pretty late to this one because I don’t often check my RSS feed for Blabbermouth.net. But I checked it this morning – and felt like I’d been gut-punched. Neil Peart, perhaps the most influential drummer of modern times, is dead. He died at...
