Ensign Christopher Campbell – Personal Log – Stardate 86088.4
The U.S.S. Falcon arrived at Vega Colony two days ago. Given the number of other Federation vessels here, the place appears to be a jumping-off point for operations on the Klingon border. We’ve taken on sufficient supplies for a six month cruise, and we’ll be heading out tomorrow.
The door hissed open in front of him, and Christopher Campbell stepped into the ship’s lounge. One of the few recreation areas on the small ship, it was currently packed with just about every off-duty crewman. Of course, that still only numbered about thirty people. Miranda-class vessels weren’t known for their size.
Walking over to the replicator, Campbell ordered a Bolian tonic water. His friend, Imjim, had turned him onto it over their years at the Academy. He found the taste to be decent, but it was the drink’s calming qualities that he most enjoyed. And, right now, he needed to relax.
Captain’s Log – Stardate 86047.8
U.S.S. Renaissance en route to the planet Maru at maximum warp. We received a general distress call that was broadcasting on all frequencies, however the message was jammed before any details could be learned. Other Starfleet vessels are responding, but we’ll be the first to arrive.
Christopher Campbell sat forward in his command chair, his left hand aimlessly rubbing his chin. He didn’t like the odds. Not one bit. When going into any situation, information is the key to success. At the moment, he had no idea what was going on, which had put him on edge. He stood and quickly crossed the bridge to stand next to the Bolian sitting at the Ops station.
Here at Professional Procrastinators, we’re no strangers enjoying films, good or bad. And 2010 is destined to be one heck of a year for theatrical releases. Remakes especially. A whole bunch of movies coming out this year are bound to draw attention: The A-Team, The Last Airbender, Nightmare on Elm Street, Footloose, Death at a Funeral, Tron Legacy, Robin Hood, and Alice in Wonderland (to name a few). But, we’ve voted and I’ve compiled the Top 5 films my fellow procrastinators and I just can’t wait to see. Read on to see our countdown!
This took me a lot of time planning, shooting and editing. Fortunately, all of the character models and “sets” had been completed for my previous video. Even with all of the work, it was a lot of fun to make, and I still enjoy the finished product every time I see it.
Well it looks like Marvel is yet again attempting to reach out to those of the female persuasion that may and may not yet be comic book readers. It is rather commonly known that the comic world is predominantly male. This trend has been shifting for quite some time now, but the balance is far from perfect. And because of this, it seem Marvel feels the need to push out a series of issues called, GIRL COMICS!
Is the world too bight and cheery? Is all this “good” getting your down? Well you need a little more “evil” in your life. Then for starters you should check out the Evil Diva comic. Read more…
Today, at 6pm Pacific Time, a fantastic charity fundraiser began over at Desertbus.org. In case you have no idea what it is (and many of you probably don’t), Desert Bus for Hope is where the Loading Ready Run crew plays the most boring video game ever created: Desert Bus. Basically, its a realistic, 16-bit simulation of a drive from Phoenix, AZ to Las Vegas, NV, and it drifts slightly to the right the whole time. Oh yeah, awesomeness. You can watch them play via live webcams, and interact with them via IRC, and see just how much they are tortured by this game. They also do silly things in front of the camera to pass time. And, what keeps them playing is donations from people like you. Yes, you!
“Why?” you ask. Well, all donations to Desert Bus are then donated to Child’s Play, a charity established by the creators of Penny Arcade, Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, to help children’s hospitals with entertainment for their young patients. Targeted to gamers and geeks, Child’s Play has generated millions of dollars in donations.
So, do you want to help the children? Do you want to make internet comedians dance to your tune? Do you want to see them play the most boring game ever made? Then, go visit it Desert Bus and enjoy! Remember, it’s for the children!
I’m on ENN! And so is fellow Procrastinator, Silver. In today’s episode: I C U Wii. Although, if you blink, you might miss us. Check it out:
In case you missed it, here I am in all my flying glory, almost completely obscuring Silver in the process!
The photo of us (and the pictures and videos of others) was done as per request from ENN anchor and Loading Ready Run co-creator, Graham Stark. They wanted pictures of people playing the Wii, as taken from the perspective of the Wii itself. Specifically, they wanted images of people in silly poses. So Silver and I enlisted the help of our friend, Matthew Boyce, to snap a few photos. Click the page cut below, if you’d like to see more pictures from the shoot.
