Evening Reading: Star Trekkin

by Garnett Lee, Feb 02, 2010 6:00pm PST

Related Topics – Star Trek Online, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party

For me two questions accompany the official launch of Star Trek Online today, neither of which the beta answered completely. First I want to know how well the planetary missions can stay the hell out of the way of my enjoyment of flying starships around. As I've noted before, I'm a casual Trek fan at best but I'm a complete pushover for the grand naval battle vibe evoked by its ship-to-ship combat. Star Trek Online delivers a solid video game version of that.

In the series, though, characters take center stage, not the ships, and most episodes dealt with their adventures on away missions. I get that this made them hard to leave out of a Star Trek MMO. It's also easy to translate those adventures into the standard MMO formula. But other than my laser gun being called a phaser and my scanner a tricorder this part of Star Trek Online teeters dangerously close to generic. Every quest I've seen before in another MMO that keeps me away from the next space engagement just annoys me. I'll either have to get interested enough in the world events to care about the away missions or see them develop some unique qualities or they need to be something I can decide to leave to others.

I'm also watching to see how the development of the other races in the game progresses. Same as with the Starfleet stuff already in the game I'm not all that concerned about the planetary missions. I'm really after being able to build up through and access the ships in the other fleets and whatever interesting tech like cloaks they have to play with. That is definitely something that could keep me engaged (hah) in the game. I also have in my head that somehow the space combat will be more open to letting me play off and on than the obsessive nature of most MMO's. That's probably wishful thinking and could wind up scuttling my whole STO career.

To keep you engaged with Shacknews Online our newsyard launched these key stories today:

Not sure whether I actually wanted to know but regardless, CNNMoney.com listed America's biggest consumer rip-offs. Text messaging topped the list.

This Arizona bust of 743 pounds of marijuana in a septic tank truck brings new meaning to "skunky" buds.

A couple of true Packer fans shared this video promising a return of one of their core fans

And, because it is the title of tonight's ER, here's the video for Star Trekkin' [with proprs to DrDemento]

These Steam sales are slowly chipping away at my bank account! In the past 2 weeks I've picked up Psychonauts, Tropico 3, Freedom Force and it's expansion plus Titan's Quest and it's expansion for.. Under $25 I think? Wow.

When I asked about what online game my soon-to-be-moving-away friend and I could play together, lots of shackers chimed in with Titan's Quest. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks to me for not buying it last week!

Shack Scripts Chrome Extension Update

I normally test these for a day or two before unleashing them to the masses, but I'm just throwing this out there because the whole confirm_unload thing is a giant pain in the ass, and if everything goes well, this scripts offers a bunch of cool fixes and additions.

* confirm_unload removed, which will eliminate problems people are having on Fileshack and Shackvideos
* gegtik and sparkly comics should work in dthread properly
* Options screen still doesn't contain options but it does give instructions on where you'll find them.
* The rules link under the post button is gone. If you know about the extension, you know the rules.

http://shackscripts.googlecode.com/files/shack-scripts.crx

Chrome no longer requires that you need to run a beta or dev build to use extensions - they're part of the mainstream release so you don't have to do anything tricky to get them running.

Chrome does support user scripts now as well, but the majority of the Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox won't work in Chrome because of some of the techniques I used when coding them. Turning this stuff into an extension offers a LOT of advantages, so even though I could make the scripts work in Chrome they'll run considerably slower than the extension, so I'm not going to ever consider it.

I'm sure some people won't get the menu and make stupid posts about how they tried running them and they don't work. Please inform these people that they are buffoons and point them in the direction of the extension. Thanks.

Free ME2 Headgear DLC

Basically, use 3 different fake e-mail addresses (doesn't have to be real), redeem a code and link them to your BioWare social account, and you get:

http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Umbra_Visor + http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Sentry_Interface + http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Recon_Hood

1. Go to http://drpepper.com/promotions
2. Register (using a fake e-mail works)
3. Use one of the following codes:

CBEEAAA41NWH
CBEEAAAE4L9N
CBEEAAAFQG9J
CBEEAAAE98ZV

4. Redeem your DLC!

These codes are reusable but you can only use 1 code per account so rinse and repeat to get all 3 items.

They're pretty cool, if just for the Geordie LaForge visor.

ME2

It's done, and overall it was such an awesome fucking game! I do have some gripes, but more on that later.

I'm curious, what were your completion times?

Finished my subwoofer tonight

Tapered horn subwoofers are insane for output, feeling the air around me starting to compress was an interesting feeling when it was running sweeps.

With Bioshock 2 coming up, and me being interested in seeing what they've come up with this time, I'm trying to get myself to play the first one so I could justify purchasing the sequel. I really loved the first ~30 minutes of Bioshock, but then it just got repetitive for me, while also feeling a bit ackward as a shooter as far as controls and itemisation go.

Does it get any better? Are there high points like the plane crash, water filled tunnel and mother watching over her gun later in the game?

More Apple hate for Adobe

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Apples-own-approach-to-iPad-apf-584085365.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=1&asset=&ccode=

The e-books that Amazon sells work only on the Kindle and on Amazon's software, which can be loaded for free on PCs and some smart phones. Everyone else, including Sony Corp., Barnes & Noble Inc. and public libraries, have gathered around Adobe's system.

Adobe doesn't sell books itself, but provides software to booksellers and libraries so they can sell and lend books that can be opened on multiple devices. Like the Kindle store, the Adobe system uses a copy-protection system that prevents buyers from reselling the books or distributing them online.

Apple would not comment about the plans for its bookstore, but Adobe said its system isn't being used by Apple.

Holy freaking crap when I got the Storm Ruler sword on 4-3 in Demon's Souls I almost peed myself, although common sense told me it will only work in this one spot. It was fun to dream that I would have been able to kick the crap out of black phantoms (or people as a black phantom...) with that.

Repost from yesterday:
I was itching for some oldschool Ultima when I came across this free multiplayer 2D version @ http://swut.net/euo/

The map particulars are different in that it isn't Brittannia, but the core game is Ultima-esque from around III / IV / V. Virtued Shrines (upgrade diff stats when you level), townes, keeps, dungeons, arenas (for pvp betting I think?). It has a lot of MUD-style communication (party, global, clan, local chat) and includes a really easy tutorial at the beginning. Plus the manual has info on classes, crafting, skills, commands and a lot of other interesting bits.

The only thing I see so far that costs any $$ is if you want your own House -- not sure about Guild Halls. Anyway, just thought there might be some of yas' that might enjoy the throwback graphics coupled with elements of Ultima Online :).

BRAVO on the new Bioshock 2 trailer that just aired. My girlfriend actually called me into the living room to show me this "awesome looking game." She has never experienced the first one.

It definitely looked exciting. :)
