The ‘2MilDil Shirt’ and other ramblings from Star Trek Las Vegas.

Warning: this long-ass blog post doesn’t disclose anything you don’t already know about Star Trek Online. In fact, I’ll allude to things without giving details which will frustrate the heck out of a few Redditors (Gird yourselves Tusken38, ruinthefun)  Also, an upfront apology: After meeting so many new people, if I don’t mention you by name (or handle), it’s ’cause I suck at remembering names … Continue reading The ‘2MilDil Shirt’ and other ramblings from Star Trek Las Vegas.

First Impressions: A 16-year old’s hands on with the XBOX Console version of STO

Lootcritter here: I’m a PC gamer and while I have played on consoles in the past, I’m much more comfortable with a keyboard and mouse when it comes to gaming.
