Well payed, Microsoft. Well payed..

Legion and EDI are AI's, no doubt about that, but are they really "robots" or "androids"? It is not exactly their robotic bodies, but rather a platform and they are both software. It would be as if i said a car is a "Human".

You should probably tag this as a joke, because these kind of people do actually exist. Though they usually dont read /. afaik.

I second this. At my first try i made a Break-Out clone in 15 minutes (including graphics).

What if someone except Telltale actually did this.. And without making it an adventure game. One could easily have splitted Mass Effect 2 into neat weekly chunks (and thats how i played it anyhow). It would be like a weekly episode of Star Trek. :)

So.. They are trying to teach GALaDOS (Google Artificial Lifeform and Disk Operative System) to speak?

Dont remember where i read it, but sometimes the reports of haunted places is because of sounds. In one case there was a haunted house where people reported a feeling of "dread". A scientist found that a nearby fan was emiting a sound, which with the right reverb generated a 12-18 dB soundwave. He later reproduced this in a office which wasnt haunted, and once again the testpersons reported feeling afraid. So bring something to check for sounds!

If you could promise me a relatively big supply of lego-blocks (about 4,080,576,000 bricks in 91 different colors, and add a few decorative items) for about 15 USD. And if you on top of that give me a vague promise for free new blocks in the future, you got yourself a deal!

I dont own one of these fancy modern television set or dvd players and i am too lazy to go outside. So i sit here and wish it was possible to buy moving pictures without leaving my too comfortable chair. There is a legend that this is possible to buy in the lands far away from here, but the path to the digital shoppe is guarded by a sign saying "Not available in your country".

For a person seeing the movies in the "correct order", they would probably say it was an ever bigger mistake turning the scientific midichlorians into the mystical "force", a heap of mumbo jumbo religious crazytalk. I would just have explained it by saying that after the jedi hunt, the two remaining jedi no longer had any available technology in which they could prove the midichlorians existance... Or something.

What to say about this game? It is not as bad as the reviewers are saying.

* It have a lot of bugs. It still feels like it should have been a beta.
* It has the most non-combat missions i've ever seen in an MMO. A lot (relatively) of missions is just "beam down, talk to a person, go to another person, scan something, done!".
* The most fun aspect of the game is ship combat, both PvP and PvE. If you liked Pirates of the Burning Sea for its ship combat (and didn't care much for the pirate theme) then you will probably like ST:O ship combat.
* It is pretty consistent story-wise towards Star Trek-canon.
* A few of the models and graphics, mostly the uniforms, ships and spacestations, feel a bit to non-trek.
* Some missions make federation "evil". Example would be a mission where you scout a planet for resources, but some aliens were there first. So as a Federation officer it is your duty to kill them and take their stuff! :O
* It is easy to earn money/credits in game, so unlike other mmo's you don't have to worry about mis-spending them.

I started playing Bridge Commander a few days before i started playing ST:O. I found BC to be very authentic to the Star Trek experience, but a bit boring in the long run.

It is actually a working system, that. In essence, you pay for your favorite morning news-website with your breakfast. You pay for your breakfast at (your shop), and while eating it you read your news on the web. The webpage take no payment, but that's because (your shop) has already paid the webpage. Pretty soon everything is free, except our breakfast, which 95% of what we pay goes to pay for ads.

A ready to use game-engine based on the ogre3d engine: http://www.neoaxisgroup.com/ Gametype FPS/3PS and RTS have been premade as an example, but other gametypes can be created. Do some C# coding, add a few models and you got yourself a nearly done game with multiplayer. :)

A bit useless with all the models and a miniature giant space hamster in my captains cabin, when i get a closer look at my back than at the bling. This game seriously need a first person view to make it easier to take a closer look at the well-done details.

10 shots is just the first sniper rifle and the 3rd friggin huge sniper rifle. You will get a sniper that can shoot 60 shots; 5-10 shots per reload to making up for the low damage. So to use only sniper rifle you have to be good at headshots, using shield-penetration, get a few upgrades, and move a bit around to collect enemy-dropped ammo. No problemo. I usually prefer killing bosses by empty two clips of ability boosted sniper-bullets into their thick skulls. That usually do the trick.
