Star Trek Tonight!
Tonight, after work I will be heading out to see Star Trek and I am super excited.
Naturally I am a little apprehensive, but being a huge fan of pretty much all things Trek I am sure I will love the flick.
In preparation for the movie I have been checking out the website for the upcoming Star Trek MMO. For you non gaming types an MMORPG is short for a Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game.
Remember all of those Dungeons and Dragon Geeks back in the 7th grade? Well, we are all online now and not everyone lives in Mom's basement.
Anyhoo, I have been tootling around checking things out and I think it has potential. Especially given the fan base that already exists. In all reality if Cryptic puts the effort into this game that Blizz and Eve Online has it would be hard to miss.
Why am I interested? Dude, a world without Star Trek is just unnatural!
Will it kill WoW? I tend to doubt it.
Will it take me out of World of Warcraft? It is entirely possible....

Thank you BRK!
You made playing a Hunter a matter of pride!
(and awesome job TJ for putting this together!!!)

Doing your duty.
Or: currently the only place to take a crap in the game.
When I first started playing WoW one of the things that struck me most was the sense of humor written into the game experience. Every once in a while you would be questing along and something small would happen that would make you laugh hard enough that you were in danger of falling off your stool.
When in a group this was usually apparent when one of your friend's character would simply stop interacting with the game. One minute they would be running around getting quests, then next they would just be standing there.
In Burning Crusade that sense of humor got reduced to making us do lots of "poop-quests". The NPC would have you go searching through the droppings of zone monsters looking for seeds or a lost wedding band.
The Ewwwwwe facter was fun the first time, but it got old pretty fast.
In Wrath I am happy to have found that not only is the sense of humor elivated again, they have started to introduce consequences for your blindly accepting quest after quest for no reason other than an NPC has a yellow arrow over his head.
Some of those consequences are rather dire. In the horde quest chain you actually help the Undead rebels create their New Plaque that causes disaster at the Wrath Gate.
In Grizzly Hills your blind actions help one of Arthas's minions gain a promotion, and you even get good equipment upgrades from it (yeah that made me feel just great thanks...).
Others have a smaller "ah crap, that was me" moment attached. For instance while helping infiltrate a pirate compound you end up killing the only male walrus around for the sake of making a few bars of soap, and screw up the mating rituals of the local animal population.
Little things that reflect our current attitude towards our world can be amusing reminders.
Then there are some that are just funny. Just a few days ago I rolled into Amberpine Lodge and discovered a bunch of wonderfully tasting seeds that some kind person left out for visitors. They were so yummy I downed them all!
Turns out they were some magic seeds that the Lodge needed to survive the winter with...d'oh!
/hand+forehead
Who knew?
Well, there is only one way to get them back.... (notice that the guard walking by dosen't even bat an eye.)
*Sighs*
40 years old, and somehow this is still funny.
Oh, and the best part is that the outhouse is re-usable after the quest is done if you ever need a cheap laugh.

"Um...Fiara is everything ok, did you disconnect?"
"No no, I'm just laughing at the quest giver because he is making fun of me for doing every quest in the zone...."

Star Trek Clip of the Week
Short, to the point, and about as juvenile as you get.
That's why we love it.
