Mid-Week Notes: Star Trek, Mass Effect, and PAX East

So, a lot of gaming is going on currently. Star Trek Online finally released the other day and I was there to greet it with an awkward out-stretched hand of uneasy peace. Cryptic has a lot of work to do if they want to keep Star Trek fans of any generation happy, but it can only get better from this point onward, right? Maybe I’m just an optimist, I guess. But if STO doesn’t put out, I always have Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 to fall back on! ME2 does for ME what Diablo 2 did for Diablo, in the sense that the sequel takes all the good out of the original and makes it ten-times better. I’m enjoying my time back on the Normandy and I can only play through the game over and over waiting for the conclusion to this fantastic space opera BioWare was gracious enough to share with the world.

On the other side of that, PAX East has sold out of 3-day passes! But lucky me I have connections and will be attending with some old guy who doesn’t want to grow up quite yet whom we’ll just call “Dad”. So, you can expect some posts about my trip to PAX East coming in late march, and hopefully I won’t fail as much as my other projects. Yeah.

In other, blog-related news. I need a new theme. I bore of looking at this one. And I need a logo. The gear is not really lazy, is it?

Almost 2010, I Still Miss Y2K

And a belated, “Happy Holidays!” to you as well!

It’s true, the New Year is upon us and me still with no resolution to break. Yet. Though I could make it a resolution to post more active rants on this here blog, but I’d have to break it, so I won’t be making that a top commitment to break. In the meantime, I believe it only fair to warn my 5 readers I have decided to join up with a certain online radio station again, and I just might not see you all as much as I would like to. It’s a sad tale, I know, but we’ll get through it together. If you’re curious, as I know the entire internet usually is, it is a station that uses Guild Wars players as an audience and it plays many a genre of music ranging from Hip-Hop and Rap to Blues and Classic Rock. So, if you play Guild wars and like music, you might want to tune in over here and have a listen. For the record, you might want to listen to that one “Dj Mister Pink”, I heard he rocks pretty hard.
