I had been planning on updating my blog for the past couple of days, but things got in the way as they usually do. Those pesky things! Ce la vie. I suppose my failure to update the blog is fitting considering the subject matter that this entry will mainly cover, failure. Don’t worry this won’t be [...]

Generally I’m not a fan of short one-off blog entries, but there are times where they are completely unavoidable and even acceptable. This is definitely one of those moments where I’ll break one of my blogging rules and throw up a quickie. Despite the risk to my man-card I have to give the obligatory SQUEEEEEEEEE! [...]

Perhaps you’re concerned that all of this Star Trek blogging means that my Warcraft days are behind me, or maybe you aren’t. Fear not, there will still be plenty of WoW-related blog entries in the future. I seem to be taking my annual break from WoW and recharging my batteries. Cataclysm will breathe new life [...]

There are moments where STO is extremely enjoyable and I find myself thinking that I’ll be in for the long haul. Then there are moments where STO falls apart for me and I struggle to keep going and find the motivation to log back in. But I am committed to giving STO a fair shake, [...]

Just a quick and dirty update for no other reason than shameless self-promotion. Recently I’ve appeared on two podcasts talking about Star Trek Online. Last week I was a special guest on The Addicted (episode #28) to talk about my experiences in the open beta and the headstart program. Hypknotoad and Cypher are great guys [...]

I have to commend Cryptic on their rather successful Star Trek Online launch. Over the past week I’ve only been denied playtime once since the official debut of the game. That’s a metric ton better than I had anticipated. I was expecting rampant server disconnections, login/authentication server issues, and multiple roll-backs from all of the [...]
