Star Trek Online: Beyond the Beta

Lieutenant Karina Prax, of the USS Lockheed.
Captain’s log, supplemental.
Our assignment was simple, scan Gorn facilities in this remote asteroid belt to make sure that they weren’t stockpiling weapons of mass destruction of any sort.
The Gorn, of course, were having none of it, and we found ourselves on the receiving end of a volley of disruptor [...]

Maybe

It’s always the same, the facts.
The retelling of them, not so much.  A detail here and there is added or removed.  Not out of deliberate editing, but for the simple reason that each retelling is different.
And so, there are a lot of “maybes.”  This is a story then, about a girl who broke my heart.  [...]

The smallest thing

I remember very clearly.
It’s a colder spring day in 1996 and I’m shivering in my long wool coat.  Despite living in the District for three winters, I still haven’t learned to layer.
I look over to my girlfriend, and she’s occupied with driving.  She shifts matter of factly in the stop and go traffic on Rockville [...]

For Mature Audiences

Played a bit of Madworld for the Wii and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS.
Both M rated titles, and both on Nintendo platforms.
I played a good bit of Madworld, lumbering my way through a couple of the earlier levels before I really started to “get it.”  It’s really more like a puzzle game [...]

Full Disclosure: My link to Dead Space in two circular degrees

So I’m twittering about my experiences playing the game Dead Space.  Awesome game, highly recommended.  I’m on my second play through.
But, back to the I get a follow (on twitter) from someone I don’t recognize, but don’t really think anything of it until I check out who it is.  Turns out it’s the Environmental Art [...]
