From last week's gamercat...  As much as I want to throw money at Nintendo for the switch, I can't justify the cost and game availability (and cost thereof).  As a child of the 90s though....Nintendo! (i.e. irrational behaviors at times)

Holy Chalupa, Batman! After close to 5 years of playing this Star Trek Online (since it went Free to Play basically) my primary character (Tolya Kotrolya) has finally maxed out all of his commendations!  The elusive commendation was the "recruitment" commendation which for the Federation folk it seems pretty hard to get (unless you want to sacrifice a whole bunch of uncommon and rare Duty

SNL reminded me of this song last week...good stuff. Hard to believe it's almost 20 years ago.

Από το τελευταίο bike hike. Δεν πολυπέτυχε η πυραμίδα Κάθε χρονιά το πενταμελές, μαζί με τους καθηγητές που ήταν σύμβουλοι για το τμήμα μας, οργάνωναν ένα «bike hike», ή «περίπατο» με ποδήλατα. Αυτό συνήθως γινόταν κάποιο Σάββατο

I soooo don't remember this part of the movie... rewatch is in order... (original archive here)

Drive by James S.A. Corey My rating: 5 of 5 stars Interesting short novella about the person who developed the propulsion systems used in this universe (and who is mentioned in passing in the first novel).
