Your father was the captain of a starship for 12 minutes, he saved 800 lives...

... I dare you to do better. What better existing nerd property to use making an MMO? Star Trek is based on the idea of an ongoing, indefinite journey. Just think, create a character, join a ship, raise to the rank of captain and then build your own ship, explore strange new worlds and new civilizations, boldly go where no man has gone before! The only thing I could think of being better would be a Firefly MMO. Of course the skies of that on-line world would be crowded with gorram Firefly-class transports with Serenity splashed across the side all captained by brown duster- wearing pretty boys.

This is going to be quick. The Star Trek MMO is on it's way! Here's the supposed box art:

And here's a quick clip of the game play:


Looks pretty good to me. And the best part is it would be easy to have universe-changing events. All you would have to do is send out a message to all ships that the borg are invading or something. Check out some of the in game screen grabs too.

Also, here's where R2-D2 was hiding in the new Trek movie. This is confirmed, unlike the last few rumored R2 sightings.

I like Hello Kitty Island Adventure a lot more than this…

Ok, this is a couple years old but I just found it so I’m going pretend it’s brand new. Now, every fan of World of Warcraft has probably seen the South Park episode by now entitled “Make Love, Not Warcraft” in which the boys team up on the plains of Azeroth to defeat some nerd that has spent so much time playing WoW he now just goes around killing players and admins alike.

Enter Butters, the lovable rascal who desperately needs a hug from a stable parental figure. It turns out he doesn’t play WoW. Check out the clip at the 1:06 mark to see what I mean (but watch the whole thing if you want to see a good dig at the French).

Well, Hello Kitty Island Adventure does not really exist but when the episode first aired, it became a joke amongst my friends for when one of us didn’t like playing a certain video game and the rest did. They would be taunted with “go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure!” and then an insult that insinuated they were gay.

Well I was watching the episode recently now that Spence has finally talked me into playing WoW and I decided to punch Hello Kitty Island Adventure into Google and see what comes out and what do I find? Well WoW Interface has a download available to give you a Hello Kitty interface for the game!

While I will not be downloading it ever I’m sure someone wants this. At least one person wanted it because they took the time to program it. So now my friends and I can call each other gay while still playing WoW.
