DEAR TPG – JOO SUCK 4 MAKING IT HARDER 4 ME 2 CHOOZE WHICH ST ONLINE I WANT 2 WASTE MY MONEY ON…
Just kidding: John Writes,
Okay, I blame myself for this.. but WOW now my ST Online decision is much harder!!! I had no idea there were so many collector’s edition variants available out there. I wish I could just pay for the little perks individually rather than choosing 
. Nice investigative work finding out all the MIND WARPING options out there Jeremy!
I think in the end I’ll go with the Original Constitution Class ship since… (a) its upgradeable (b) it has blue phasers (yes im serious) (c)
(In all fairness and in the interest of full disclosure… WE at TPG are a team… everything you see and hear is a team effort… Steven did the majority of that research… I just rocked out the delivery… Mad Props to our host!)
Q: Do the exclusive items stack? Can I get more than one thing?
A: Yes, different items stack. So if someone purchased multiple copies of the game from various retailers, he would receive all those items for EACH character created. Included playtime will still stack as well. However, the same bonus does not stack. So if someone purchases from Wal Mart twice, he cannot get two 500 point skill bonuses for the same character. (Each character will get one).
Hello Borg Chick on the bridge of my constitution class ship toting around a TR116.
Geek Speak
- Christmas-topics
- Best Holiday Contest EVER!!!!
- Since we have ended up with Zombies in almost every episode… I have to mention this one…\
- The girls over at Geek Girls Network are at it again with a cool Holiday contest to win an autographed Comic…
- The contest is to take a classic carol and re-write it to be geeky…
- and here is the example they posted…
- The Zombie Song (as to the tune of The Dreidel Song)
My boyfriend is a zombie
He tried to eat my feet
But now I have a shot gun
Only bullets he will eat
-
Oh – zombie zombie boyfriend
I’m sad to see you go
But now your brains are splattered
Into bits upon the snow

- Christmas Light Guitar Hero
- Christmas Specials will be airing this weekend… Frosty and Frosty returns on CBs Friday night
- What Christmas specials do you look forward to??
- Morayma and I look forward to the “A Christmas Story” 24 hours on TBS every year Starting on Christmas Eve (SM: OH YEAH!)
- If you want christmas specials, gotta watch “The Hallmark Channel” 24×7 of every special except (JP: does it include “Bad Santa”?)
- There’s a tour, Museum and Shop at the house in Hamond Indiana we are going to try to make it to when we head down to Indiana for the holidays with my folks…
- Christmas Wish lists:
- Pick any three items you would have someone get you for Christmas if price didn’t matter…. Go NUTS!
- Steven:
- Jeremy:
- Cap My IPhone and San Fran Network Outage
- Fake Steve Jobs (Newsweeks Dan lyons) organizing planned attack on AT&T Network
- In his upset about poor service, he is trying to get users to attack AT&T network on Friday for one hour
- Late wednesday night He asked his followers and cohorts to “stand down”
- I have huge issues with the original request… and here’s why…
- so you’re pissed… you don’t like AT&T’s service or network huh? Well this is America.. and YOU have a choice… go to another network
- you want to try to make a point?? great… This is the issue you choose??
- with everything going on in the world today?? This is what you are trying to devote your energy to?? Huh?
- Have you stopped to consider who this would hurt?? The people who use their iPhone to run their small business??
- the people who only have a cell phone and no land line… what if they were crippled and needed help while you were making your “point”???
- and what point is it exactly that you’re trying to make? if you band a bunch of people together in a malicious attack you can bring a network to it’s knees? this in no way represents normal use??
- I hope in the future when people try to organize a flash mob to prove a point… that A. It is a point worth proving B. it doesn’t put anyones safety at risk and C. they think it through first
