You’re pretty damned excited about Paradox’s upcoming grand strategy 4X, Stellaris. This I know because 1) it’s damned exciting, 2) you clicked on this link, and 3) because you’re only human. You can’t play Stellaris before May 9, but you can watch other people play it, and absorb that strategy goodness via osmosis.
