Star Trek Universe goes online

[Cowperson]

Games firm Perpetual Entertainment has secured the rights to develop the game which will allows thousands of trekkers to immerse themselves in the world of the United Federation of Planets.

The 24th century universe being brought to life by Star Trek Online will launch considerably earlier, in 2007.

It could attract millions of players.

Get a Life!

William Shatner:

You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Ears" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Ears" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a TV show dammit, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!

Whose the bigger geek, the geek, or the geek who goes out of his way to buy an online game, sign up, and bug the geeks?

This sounds cool.

The *whole* ST universe? Mmm...I'm going to Risa.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnd actual face to face human interaction takes yet another step backwards

Why need a "REAL" world when you can have a "VIRTUAL" one, complete with replicators, phazers, and slutty alien chicks in tight uniforms?

Speaking of that, someone told me today The Sims 2 comes out later this month, I thought that was a bad game though.

[CaptainCrunch]

I can see the open handed slap fights over who gets to be the Captain.

And the side conversations

Trekkie 1 - Are there any hot girls playing

trekkie 2 - Are you a hot girl

Trekkie 1 - No but I'm looking for them

Trekkie 3 - All Hail Captain Kirk, bow down and fear me

Trekkie 1 - Are you a hot girl

And so on ad nauseum

[???]

this reminds me of the triumph the insult comic skit were he goes to the star wars convention. that is by far the funniest skit ever, someone please find a link to it. trekies or star war nerds same thing. god i get the chuckles just thinking of it.


triumph to darth vader "whats this on your chest"

Clicky - something I found

[Tron_fdc]

"The sequel to the best-selling PC game of all-time"

The fact I hadn't even heard about this might mean something (to me, anyway)

In the The Sims™ 2, you direct your Sims over a lifetime and mix their genes from one generation to the next

Hmmmm I wonder if you can intermingle the same DNA strains? "Cuuuuuzin Bobby? Meet yer yunger sister Sheeeela. Now make me proud and git me sum grandkiddies"

Your Sims now have purpose in life. Do they aspire to a life of fame, fortune, family, knowledge, or romance

Mine would definately be drug addicted criminals. I can't imagine a decent video game without a bunch of crack smoking petty thieves in the family.


What a strange world we live in when we need video games to simulate real life....it doesn't make sense to me for some reason??? I guess I'm just old

Your reading to much into it, its just a game.

[CaptainCrunch]

My girlfriend found out how sick I truly was when she loaded her copy of the Sims onto my computer.

I put two people in one house, a fat lazy slob, and a aggressive go getter career oriented girl.

Used the cheat codes to give them the best of everything, including seperate bed rooms.

They didn't get along well so I thought I would work on that, and took away her bed room furniture and her bed.

Instead of hoping in the sack with fatty she stayed up all night watching T.V. So what did I do next. I took away anything of entertainment value.

She still wouldn't share with dirtenstein and she ended up getting fired from her job.

So I thought to myself, maybe its because she's self concious, so I moved the toilet into the kitchen, and moved his bed in there as well. If I could have strung up a web cam I would have. She started having accidents all over the house, so in order to train her I took away the shower and the bath tub, but installed a big loving hot tob. But she refused to share that with him as well and took to basically whining.

So in my last experiment when he was wandering around the house I bricked him into the middle of the living room and gave her the smallest T.V. that the game had.

She got right back into T.V. watching at full volume to drown out his screams of pain.

He died, she tried to cook for herself and burned the house down because I took away the phone and the fire extinguisher.

The game is fun

Ah yes...games are always much more fun when you use them in ways people didn't intend.

Another thing that is fun to do in the Sims is let people jump into the pool and then sell the pool ladder. For some reason, they can't exit the pool without the ladder, so they just swim around until they drown. Silly sims.

After reading those 2 posts, I had to leave my desk I was laughing so hard. That's exactly what I would have done.

How long did it take? Can you do it right away or does it take a few days?
