For Klingon Defense Force:




Both these amazing designs were created by the same author, @WilliamJaneway! Please join me in congratulating him on his win!

Also, I'd like to recognize our runners up! @KnightChucky's Starfleet design and @Six-of-Nine's KDF design were both close seconds.

And now for the Prizes! The winner and two runner-ups will receive their own Vaadwaur Officer Uniform! This cross faction and unisex uniform makes it the perfect wardrobe option no matter the character.




Thank you to everyone who sent in designs and participated in this event! Congratulations to our winners!!

I didn't quite binge watch the show, but I've managed to work my way through it in a week. I, frankly, loved it. It's an amazing show with an interesting spin. It's not quite original as it is a bit derivative of many mutation stories and there ability to see or take over each other's bodies is very reminiscent of Professor X. None the less, the show is very good. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and not just the sci-fi elements which is unusual to me. Nomi has to be my favorite character. In the second episode, when she spoke about marching in the Pride Parade filled me with pride.

Unusually, I don't care much for sex and violence, but I didn't mind it much here. The big group orgy scene made me a bit nervous, but mainly cause I was watching it on the treadmill at the gym and I was afraid what people might think I was watching if they saw. I usually hate the stupid spy movies where the spy kills hundreds of bad guys without anyone landing a single blow on him, but with the scene with Lito doing it, I was able to just enjoy it for what it was cause it wasn't mean to be real. The rest of the combat I actually enjoyed. You never knew if or when someone else would swoop in to help out the current protagonist and the differences in fighting styles keeps things interesting. Although, in the last episode with Wolfgang, I had to look away.

While I don't appreciate that, I do think its telling of the medium. None of the major TV channels in the US would air something like that (at least here in the US). This being on Netflix instead gives them much more latitude. It's very rare to see a baby crowning like in this show and it's interesting to see a somewhat realistic childbirth.

Anywho, I really enjoyed it and I can't wait for Season 2!

my first game was a Knight Enchanter and they are definitely powerful. I enjoy the multiplayer part of it as it's a nice get in, murder everything, and get out with loot and fun things for later. I also wanted Cullen but I don't mind Dorian, he's kind of fun ;)

For me, it has to be after you lot, so, no earlier than 10pm EST us.

I can most readily get on after 2 am EST us, so, I probably will be best at the counselor than a pilot, ir I can be the night shift pilot.

I'm leaning toward the Chroma keyboard but 2 questions for ya.

1. Can the color lights be turned OFF. The husband uses the computer as well and has said the lights will give him a headache.

2. I do a LOT of typing and some reviews have said it's not a great keyboard for writing because of the mechanical keys sometimes double click or if you don't press hard enough it won't register. Have you noticed this?

Thanks!

I love the game... I keep trying to romance someone other than Josephine but Sera just doesn't appeal to me and the others aren't available to me either cause they are male romance partners only or not available to romance. I did briefly entertain the notion of trying to romance one of the male members of the party... but none of them quite fit what I was looking for.

For multiplayer I've never tried it simply cause I generally avoid the mode in most games. Perhaps I'm just waiting for the right friend to have the game on the right platform and be willing to play it with me.

Cullen is actually pretty flexible because if you have enough sovereigns then he will be your boyfriend... for the night... worked for me :D

I gave up on the multi-player once I was teamed up with the homophobic newbie who said "F****t, you are playing Rion wrong." he told me this is the first game he played in the series and I just left lol...

Plus what is Zither like... I thought he was just an April Fools person :P

Nice hoodie Joffrey!

I wanted Cullen as my BF too.. but i was forced to go with that spoilt snob.
Im sure there is a PC Mod where you can love him.

I prefer my games on the PS3.. where i started the genres.

The multiplayer.. is ok,.... just amazingly basic.. like Mass effect multi player maps.
I wouldnt go out of my way to load it up

Hello all!

I'm looking into getting a new keyboard and possibly a headset *hubby doesn't like hearing Borg explode at 1am* And can't decide on anything. lol

Hoping some people here have some suggestions.

Currently have the Naga Razer mouse which I love but have read some mixed reviews on the Razer keyboards and such.

HELP!

Thanks. :)

[Spoilers] Sense8

I got hooked on Sense8 and ended up binge-watching the entire season this weekend. I'd describe it as Cloud Atlas meets Lost/Fringe... not quite as good as any of those, but still high praise. I enjoyed Sense8 more and more as I got further along and am looking forward to season 2.

The Good: Intriguing, original premise; fantastic original score; diverse, interesting characters with location shooting in 9 different home cities around the globe; strong ensemble cast and maybe even better supporting cast; and compelling storytelling with the ability to seamlessly integrate lighter moments into otherwise intense, serious sequences.

The Bad: Stories like this rely just as much on compelling villains as they do on the heroes, but the villains (so far) in the overarching story aren't handled well and too much is revealed too early. The two female characters with the most screen time never evolve much past the damsel-in-distress cliche. The transgender character is easily the least charismatic and interesting of the bunch, but does begin to show some personality late in the season. Some of the individual character stories progress to more or less of a resolution; I wish they'd just left them all at a cliffhanger to be resolved next season. Naveen Andrews' talents are a bit wasted and Daryl Hannah's are entirely wasted.

The Ugly: The gratuitous sex and disturbing graphic images. I generally appreciate gratuitous sex, but most of it here was so poorly executed or done in such poor taste that it was anything but sexy. Even worse were the disturbing graphic images which, once seen, cannot be unseen.

I bought this the day it came out andI have in the last few weeks been playing this and enjoyed it a lot ( why won't Cullen love me :( )

They have done a good job with the characters and made it an interesting game in general to play. Also holy hell knight enchanter is powerful
