Yeah, so this is the first MMO Played since AC that's entertained me enough to actually buy it. Anyways, enough wit the talking shit, IT'S PICTURE TIME.

(as a slight aside, the game is really pretty if you've got a good computer. which i don't. i'm saving for a new one, though, because this current one has had a good run.)




I found a motherfucking Dyson sphere!



My current ship, the U.S.S. Buttes (I wanted it to be the U.S.S. Butts, but APPARENTLY in the 25th century, the word 'butts' is profanity)



more dyson sphere. with the camera zoomed out like that, you really get a great sense of scale.



more shots showing scale. the ship in that shot is still U.S.S. Buttes, just her older configuration.



unloading on some Klingons. There's obviously several ships out of the shot.



Stuff and things.



One of my favorite bugs. Sometimes, you'll beam down somewhere not as your character, but as the ship. if you fiddle around a bit, sometimes you can actually take flight inside a building, or on the ground!

And now....

...my favorite bug in this game yet.....

so yeah. today, after i had closed the shop up, i was fiddling around in the back with a loaner trombone we have on a shelf in the workshop. As it turns out, i can still do just about everything i could in HS with it. i'm kinda surprised, seeing as it's been around 3 years since i have touched a brass instrument to play it, let alone a trombone. this has re-enforced my desire to go get myself a new 'bone and start up some lessons again.

so yeah.

also, i should probably get around to doing the rest of that mega man 2 LP, and also film a bunch of new reviews, as i have a lot of cool toys here on my desk that need to be shown off!
