Excellent ! I haven't seen that news before ! What a strange tie to the Phantasy Star Universe that everyone cheers here !
And the tie to Perseus is also great ! Reminds me of a famous Mirror Shield :)
The same for the head of the Gorgon, Medusa !

I was thinking about trying to spot this, but then I read the article that said the blinking change takes hours to complete. I don't have that kind of patience for it. :lol: Still, it's always nice to see Algol in the news.
