When I came back from Greece back in the 1990s there was a SciFi show on television called Alien Nation. In all honesty I don't remember much of the show because there was just so much to take in at that time.  That said, I did end up catching one of the made for TV movies of the series as the show was winding down and it seemed pretty nice.  Now that most of these things are available

With regular spring cleaning happening around here, I thought it would be a good opportunity to clean out the old shipyard of ships that I either rarely use in Star Trek Online, such as some free C-Store ships that I got as a promotion, or ships that I received earlier in the "career" of my captain that are just underpowered at the moment and can't really compete with end-game content. U.S.S.

Over the weekend I decided to just play through the main missions of Splinter Cell Blacklist, which I have been plays for some time now, at least according to Raptr which clocks me in at 46 hours.  I've been trying to go through the side quests first, the Grim, Kobin and Charlie missions, so I can get some extra cash to upgrade my gear, but at the end I decided to just go through the main story

It's nice to see Season 9 of Star Trek online coming out next week, too bad it's not coming out on Monday when I can actually play it (holiday).  Oh well. I guess I will have to play as much as I can in the morning before I go to work :) Thus far I've maxed out Tolya (the Federation Admiral), and I am working on getting some of the loot (Dyson and Borg reputation systems) for the Romulan and

I have to say, I am not a huge pokemon fan, but I think this is cool!  Too bad this is just an April Fool's joke.  Then again, knowing that Google has Niantic Labs and Ingress, what's there to stop them from creating something like this?  I say go for it :)  Create an augmented reality pokemon game using google maps ;-)

It's been a while since I started watching fan-made series, so I decided to write a few quick words on some of the fan-made Star Trek series I've been watching. Dark Armada This is a Dutch series as far as I can tell.  The whole series is a set of mini episodes that all together tally up to the length of one regular television episode.  At the end you have a cliffhanger: a dark armada

Right before classes started a few weeks ago I decided to start playing Halo 4. Given the amount of games I ended up getting on Black Friday last year it was a bit tough to decide what to play next, but I thought that since the next Halo isn't coming for a while (and probably will only be on xbox one), this seemed like a good game to play for the story. This was the first Halo game I've played

Just in time, before the semester starts, I was able to complete the third part of the Modern Warfare trilogy! So, from previous games in the series, we know that the world has gone to hell in a hand basket.  Task force 141, the original good guys, have been disavowed, but they are working hard to take care of the villain in this story who made things the way they are. Throughout the game

Back when I was an undergraduate, and working two jobs and going to school full time, I had started watching another Roddeberry show called Andromeda. Since my schedule was irregular, and Andromeda may have shifted time-slots I wasn't quite sure when I'd be watching the show.  Sometimes I caught it on the regularly scheduled time on the WB, and other times I'd miss it because of work (or traffic

Just in time to end my holiday break and get back work, I completed Assassin's Creed 4!  I ended up getting AC4, like my previous 2 AC games, on Amazon.com's Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals for a reduced price.  I could have waited a few more months to get the game at less than half the price (factoring in a used cost), but I got it new for $30. Not too bad! I liked this game quite a
