Duty Admiral

This is Thiral. He’s an Andorian.  I created him sometime last year, back in the days when the Andorian ship was still on the schedule. I’ve always liked Andorians and thought flying one, with a BOFF crew made entirely of Andorians, would be fun. My interest in STO waned in Read more…

Fleet Bases

Well folks, I had about given up on STO as a game. But then I read this article on Massively that outlines the new fleet Starbase system being added with season 6. Then another one was added with an interview with Daniel Stahl. I want to quote to pieces first: Read more…

Artemis

I recently heard about this game, Artemis, and am intrigued.  From the descriptions and videos, you play with a group of friends as the crew of a starship. By linking, via LAN or over the net, several computers, each player takes a different role on the ship; from engineer, to Read more…

SWTOR Companions

I’ve been managing to find time to play SWTOR some. Just in bits and pieces. Enough time to work on leveling my Sith Inquisitor but never enough of a stretch to join my guild for any Ops or Flash Points. I’ve now gotten my third character past 20 and I’ve Read more…

Godly Spies

There’s a nice article about the upcoming Civ 5 expansion on IGN highlighting the new features. Each religion gets to pick a single Founder Belief, two Follower Beliefs and an Enhancer Belief (the Enhancer and second Follower Belief are established with a second Great Prophet later in the game). The Read more…

Portal 2 Review

I just managed to finish Portal 2. Yes I know, I’m a bit behind the times. I picked it up a few months ago on sale. I waited until I was in need of light single player game.  Now was the perfect time for that. I really enjoyed the first Read more…

X-wing vs TIE Fighter

The Word of the Nerd has clued me that the once delayed X-wing miniature game is now slated for release this summer. I’ve never played a miniature’s game before, unless you count Battleship Galaxies game as a miniatures game (which I haven’t played in quite awhile actually…). But I am Read more…

Ferengi Lockbox

I’ve been playing STO lately since it is more forgiving for limited time. I’ve mainly just been running DOFF missions once or twice a day, but occasionally having enough time to do a STF. I managed to get the MK XI MACO set thanks to a fortuitous shield drop plus Read more…

SWTOR Patch 1.2

Well, the day has come, Patch 1.2 is live in SWTOR. It has been 2-3 weeks since I have even logged into SWTOR due to my time constraints (I have played a lot of STO ironically, but I can log in for 10min, set some DOFF missions to run and Read more…

Time Travel in Games

Time travel is one of those things that can make a great story…or be completely stupid. For the most part is is over used and not done well (see most examples of time travel in Star Trek). Usually the consequences and implications, or the mechanics and science of it are Read more…
