Been playing a lot of inFamous on the PS3, and loving it. The story isn’t revolutionary, but it is fun and engaging. There are a couple of twists, but it’s not the story… The gameplay is just damn compelling and addicting. Seriously, while playing I will continue to play until the battery in the controller is dead… It’s like digital crack.

Kind of like Crackdown, or Saints Row 2, I suppose. A sort of “One more mission, okay, one more mission, really, I mean it this time, just one more… You know what? I’ll just play another hour or – it’s what time?! Well, one more mission won’t hurt” logic starts running through my head. I can kill hours doing almost nothing in the game, and enjoy it all.

Just a short note to point out the obvious, and the slightly less obvious…

First, I’ve changed the theme – again – and think I’ll settle on the current one for a while. Traditionally, as soon as I post something mentioning a new theme and how it’ll stick around for a bit, I move instantly to a new theme. Not so much this time – I’m digging the layout and the colors, and only plan on doing a few minor tweaks to it in the coming weeks. Definitely going to change the header – can’t stand that font – and will take any suggestions from you, the readers.

Second is the Lifestream page that I recently added. Basically, it’s a page that collects the various updates to social networks in one handy location for people… Also makes it easier for me to log what I’ve been saying where. Right now it’s got Twitter, Facebook and XBox Live, and I’m considering adding a few other things – like Google Reader shared thing. Again, suggestions welcome.

And, on a related note, I tied my Twitter to my Facebook, so that tweets change my status. Basically, it now allows me to annoy more people with less effort, which is always a win in my book.

For me, at least.

Warp Core Breach : Best Drink in Existence

Warp Core Breach : Best Drink in Existence

I’ve found it! I’ve finally found it!

After months of looking, I’ve found the fabled recipe for the Best Drink Ever: the Warp Core Breach, once proudly served in Quarks Bar and Grill at the Star Trek Experience.

I remember one night, a month and change before the place shut down, Rosenberg and I hit the place up for a visit… and we got to talking to the bartender, who promised that the recipe would find it’s way online.

Well, today I had a bit of slow time at work… I did a Google query, and found it nestled deep on a Trek BBS somewhere on the interwebs. (more…)

I was talking to Nadia about this just last night, but it’s good to see yet more news on it…

According to “sources”, the Star Trek Experience could re-open as soon as May! Of course, the catch there is it’d just be the restaurant, bar and gift shop – the rides would come later.

Personally, I’m just excited that there’s more forward momentum on this thing… The STE was pretty much my favorite thing to hit in town, and I’m just excited as hell to see it again.

Also: WARP CORE!

Best. Drink. Ever.

Not much to report from the field.
Played Arkham Horror on Friday with Nadia, Rich and Anna – it was good times. We won – that is to say, the gates were sealed before the Outer God could rise and drown the world in eternal winter.
