Star Trek Online: taH pagh, taH be ?

Submitted by Hashy on Sat, 23/01/2010 - 22:51

m0rnin,

So for the past week or so, I’ve been trying out the Star Trek Online Open Beta. Being the lifelong trek fan that I am, I felt I needn’t let the opportunity slip by, as new Star Trek games have been few and far between the past few years now. In the early 2000’s there was an over abundance of Trek games. Sure, most of them were crap.

Star Trek Online probably, most of the time, plays more like the Starfleet Command series of games. However, your not always confined to space battles. You can beam to select planets, as part of missions, and participate in ground based stages, very similiar to most MMO combat (click your enemy, and keep clicking!!!), as well as to certain stations to trade, and receive new missions.

Wolfenstien : Enemy Territory

I propose we do a W:ET for next prac. Just like Smokin Guns, but a different game :-)

All you need to know about it is located here It’s free, and is less than 500mb for all you need.

This should be a bit more strategic than the death match in Smokin Guns. Good when you have the numbers. If we don’t, we can always play Smokin Guns again.

I haven’t actually asked anybody about this. Hell, Robag’s server might be under maintenance. If this idea is no good, just let me know :-)

Umm.. We already know… Thanks for telling the mindless masses for us tho.

Australian ISP’s are to pilot test a broadband internet performance metering device (its really a content filter) for the Department of Broadband, Communications, and the Digital Economy (heh..). ISP’s will be selecting at random, special lucky prize winners to “try out” their new device.

So yeah, you heard it officially from the Australian government. Microsoft sucks.

What sign are you?

I had a lot of laughs reading the articles at a website made by a guy who obviously has a good sense of humour.

What starsign are you? You can convert it into it’s Call Of Duty United Offensive equivilent.

For instance, myself, aquarius on cusp with capricorn.

Aqkarius Defining characteristics:
Aqkarians are, by nature, a rather scary bunch – they have a distinct habit of sneaking off and shooting you in the head at the very moment you least expect it, scaring the crap out of you. Mild pants-wetting is frequently the outcome of battling these silent but professional types, hence the term Water-Scarer.

Favourite weapons: Rifles like the Kar98k and Mosin-Nagant, however Aqkarians are fond of using scopes if it will result in frightening people.

Respected by: Most players, for their professional, methodical yet humble approach.

Loathed by: Leetos, Tauntus.

Aqkarius this week:
