I am actually really excited to play this when it comes out. It looks interesting enough for me.

Re: Foundry Training Session

February 19 2011
I'd be really interested in a attending a training session for the foundry. I found it a bit difficult to get things in the right order.

I'd like to know a few things like:
Map transfers - how to go from space to ground and back again.
Waves of enemies - how to stop all the enemies showing up at once.
Visual effects - how to properly use the visual options for scanning and interacting with objects.
Map creation - how to place objects properly and ensure that events happen when I get to the right location.
NPC interactions - how to have conversations with NPCs and if there is a way to have different outcomes based on my replies.

Foundry Training Session

February 19 2011
After the Foundry comes back up and I have some time to figure out exactly how all the new features work, I'd like to host a Foundry Training Session where I show those people who are knew to it, how it works and what it can do.

So I can be sure to prepare myself properly, I was wondering what kind of stuff would you like to learn about?

From what's replied below I'll create a list of things to show and then try to answer questions while we're going threw it as well.

I'm by far not a super supreme expert on the Foundry (although, I've been reading a lot of guides, watching video tutorials and keeping up with its progress.) so those of you who have been playing around with it too, I'd love to have your help as well. We can work together, answer each others questions, and distribute knowledge all around!

I actually think STO was the first game I ever bought myself. Always before, I played my friends' old games they gave me.

Now, I do remember my mom buying us an Atari 2600 when I was 8, for $300. Four years later, they went for $40, and then two years beyond that, they quit selling cartridges for it.

My first game was Wing Commander, Privateer. I still feel that was one of the most awesome space games of all time, espically considering the time it came out. Really miss the Wing Commander series (although that movie they made was garbage). Would love to see an MMO for that universe.

Fun fact: I played Privateer on my first computer, a i386 33MHz DX with 4MB RAM, which I eventually popped my computer repair cherry on when upgrading the RAM to 8MB!!! Windows 3.1/DOS 6.2...those were the days.

I got my first computer in 3rd grade for Christmas in 1992. It was a Windows 3.11 home built special from our local computer store slash internet provider. I still have that thing in storage somewhere, and last I checked it still works. The first game I got was a combination Civilization 1 / Mantis game. I was instantly hooked on Civ, and have played every iteration since. Mantis, eh, it was okay, was a little buggy.

Geoffrey Rush would make a great anything on Star Trek, preferably some really eccentric deranged scientist. Ooh, he'd make a great Soong (and Data, too)!

Re: V

V is a little bit of a guilty pleasure to be sure

It's appallingly written - character motives come and go, huge gaping plot holes and oversights and some seriously wooden dialogue. Characters stumble through the plot like drones and coincidence heaps upon coincidence.

But it does have a few redeeming features - discounting the camp spice added by Jane Badler. I am sure that a lot of geeks of my generation got a shiver when she was revealed - and I think every gay geek was mandated to squeal, just a little bit :)

Like BSG before it - there's a metaphysical aspect in the quest to conquer the human soul. But that's probably where the comparisons to Ron Moore's opus stop.

Monica Baccarin's Anna can be (but rarely is) truly terrifying, her smiling, beauteous demeanour revealing nothing of her (virtual) moustache-twirling-histrionic-spouting-evil.

The sheer preposterous nature of the show is fast becoming its strength. How mental can they go this week - and still keep me watching till the closing credits.

Yet still I watch.

Sexy lizard queens with (very Freudian!) lethal hidden tails? Check.

Yet still I watch,

A master plan to breed with the humans (How very 1950's b-movie - "We're here for your women!"). check.

Yet still I watch.

A giant technobabble plot device (We need to park our giant invisible space ships on buildings) Check.

Yet still I watch.

Plot twists telegraphed so far in advance that they make an episode of Casualty look like Hitchcock.

You get the picture - yet still I watch.

Maybe I keep watching in the vain hope that someone, at some point, will slap the sh!t out of Tyler. For. Being. So. Damn. Stupid.

I know it's bad - but I am hooked. Just don't tell anyone.

My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20! As for the first game I bought, well the old grey cells might be failing me but it could have been Frogger!

The best game I saved for was on cartridge format for the VIC-20 and that was the arcade game GORF!

I didn't instantly go to Express Yourself when I heard this, I went to When Takes Over! Just shows songs can sound like so many others!

Its a pretty good song, but I still like Love Game better....mabye it ties for second with Bad Romance.

And as much as I love gaga I cant help but think that with alot of her outfits that she wears that she is a Romulan Infiltrator...

just sayin...those shoulders really give it away.

Re: "Born This Way" is the new gay anthem?

I love this song too. I don't think she's pandering to us, Gaga truly does love and value her gay fans and she's well aware that we are her first and strongest fan base. I can't recall any other music artists dedictating a MTV VMA award to us (let alone their first one). When I listen to it I really don't think its a lot like express yourself at all. Maybe a little bit but it's definitely its own song. A lot of my gay friends IRW hate on her a lot but I think they're just being catty and contrary because its in their nature (or at least they think it is :P )

I think Gerard Butler would have been a fantastic captain. If I was the casting director I would have insisted that he keep his Scottish brogue. It would have given his character a distinct personality.

That and I think accents are f'n hot. :evil:

I bought a friend's Apple II+ and he threw in a bunch of games. I think the first one I played was Sir-Tech's "Wizardry", probably one of the first dungeon-crawlers made for a PC.

Funny side note - I don't know how I did it but I managed to make one of my party members a Ninja, a supposedly rare class within the game. And this being during the prime-time soap opera "Dynasty"'s heyday, I named her "Alexis", after the show's resident villainess played by Joan Collins.

My parents should have guessed they were never going to be grandparents then and there. (although I'm sure they must have thought something was up a few years earlier when the very first record I bought with my own money was "ABBA's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2") :blink:
