Just an update

Hey readers!

Sorry I haven't updated much, I haven't had a whole lot to talk about. I might do a review on Oblivion. (why do I like doing reviews for old games? (well ok, Oblivion is not that old, but it's like a year.)

Anyway, not a whole lot is up with me at the moment, busy watching Stargate Atlantis. (because Senior year has got to be the lightest ever for me) I got about... hmmm... *thinks* about 14 or some odd days before the final ten episodes of SG1, and the second half of season 3 of Atlantis comes back. Not bad actually, that's about 12, 21 episode seasons (averaged, some have 20, some have 22) in three months. aaand... I'm not even gunna do the math of how many hours that is, cause that's about 254, 42 minute eps watched.... I already know that's at least a week of TV watching. :-P

After SG1, I'm thinking about watching Farscape (in seasons 9 and 10, two of the characters from Farscape became regulars on SG1), or Babylon 5. Then after that, Star Trek. But seriously, there' a lack of good sci-fi out now, besides Battlestar Galactica. Unfortunately that can't go on forever though, if it goes 6 seasons, I think it's gunna start stretching itself thin. (I'm already annoyed that the Colonial Fleet is more worried about politics then the Cylon threat)

Come on Sci-Fi, bring back Firefly! Or, Someone Persuade Joss Wheadon to write up something new.

Anyway, suggested watching. Stargate SG1 is great, if you like Star Trek, McGyver, and sci-fi in general, you'll like SG1. (Richard Dean Anderson is in it, ironically, he's not much of a genius)

Old school Sci-Fi RPG at it's finest

Enter the remains of Earth. The Alliance has lost their long battle with the Coalition and are now fleeing earth to the Sirius Galaxy. Underground the Alliance build sleeper ships to send them far away from the oppressive Coalition. This was called the Exodus. There were 8 sleeper ships that the Alliance made, but only 5 made it. the Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari, Hispania, and the Rhienland. The Liberty arrived first, getting the first pick of the land. then the Rhienland, who picked their sector of the Sirius galaxy for the diamonds. Then the Kusari came next, and started businesses gathering oxygen and fish. The Bretonia came next, and began mining the precious metals in their area. The Hispania got there last, but barely. During the Exodus the Hispania was disabled, but not destroyed. On the way to the Sirius galaxy, the crew on the Hispania had a disagreement. There were those who believed they should use the Hispania's shuttles and abandon the Hispania, and there were those who thought they should stay on the Hispania. Those that left on the shuttles of the Hispania found a habitable planet, and were called the Corsairs. Those that stayed aboard the Hispania were called the Outcasts. Both factions of the Hispania did well, and both became very powerful Criminal empires.

800 Years have past. And a new threat awaits those of the Sirius galaxy.

Enter Edison Trent. A wealthy freelancer pilot who is currently aboard Freeport 7. At the start of the game, Freeport 7 is attacked by unidentified ships. Trent and a handful of people survive, but everything he has is lost. He is relatively unharmed, but his business partner suffered serious wounds. Now, Trent is in the liberty sector, with only 500 credits, and no ship. He does what any man would do when he's lost everything. He went to a bar. He did not find his comfort at the bottom of a glass though, he found it though Junco Zane, or Juny for short. She is an LSO Agent, who is in need of a Freelancer pilot to help escort some supplies to a station not far from where they are. She supplies him with a ship and some money and Trent is on his way.

Soon you find that things are not as it seems, a new Criminal organization, called the Order, attack a Rheinland capital ship carrying an ambassador for Rheinland en-route to a meeting with the President of the Liberty. The ship is destroyed, killing the ambassador.

After your first mission, the sky's the limit. You go off freelancing, every once in a while helping the Liberty, or other factions you wish to help.

I think the game Freelancer was ahead of it's time, when it was made. It's a great game, but nobody took notice. The biggest thing for me is, once you've completed the main story, there is so much more to do. You can continue to be the bad guy, deside that playing the good guy is boring and doesn't give you enough pay, so you become a corsair. Maybe you want a simple life just trading and selling the different materials. Or, you can just fly around and shoot people. Ether way, it's a great bargain game with hours of playability.

I give it a 9 outa 10. A must have if you like freeform dogfight sci-fi RPGs. They're hard to come by.

Crazy stuff, I need a new computer... already.

Hey, I'm back

No, I was not sick that long, I just was to lazy to post an update. And now I'm getting much emails and theatenings to update it... so...

I'm at a friend's house for the weekend! YAY!

It's a lot of fun, staying up late, playing computer games, mercilessly insulting each other (usually their face), and playing pranks on people. It's great, lotsa fun, unfortunately I have to go home tomorrow, which sucks. Cause another friend is down for Wisconsin, and he's staying there the whole week, but I don't get to... mehnessandstuff.

Well... yeah, Watch Battlestar Galactica and Stargate SG1... that's all for now
