Hello folks. With the end of February fast approaching, here's a reminder that we'll be diving into our reader liveblog discussion for February's RPS Game Club pick, Cobalt Core, this coming Thursday, February 29th, at 4pm GMT (which is 8am PT / 11am ET for our American friends). Looking forward to seeing you there!
Thank you for all your thoughts and comments on the game so far - it's been great to see so many of you having such a good time with it over the last few weeks. And fret not, there's still time to lob your own opinion asteroid into the mix if you can't make it to the liveblog but still want to contribute to the conversation - just comment over here with the rest, or on this reminder post.

Until then, though, here are some of our other posts to help get you in the zone for some high quality Cobalt chat. See you on Thursday!

A musical appreciation post where I outline my five favourite tracks from Cobalt Core's soundtrack. Spoilers: Self-Defense is number one, because it is the objective best track and arguably composer Aaron Cherof's finest piece of work in the entire game.
