So the game I have been waiting for is now in open beta! I pre-ordered Star Trek Online so I am in! I got to play it a little bit last night and here are my first impressions…..

Graphics - Amazing! my character looks exactly like something you’d see when watching a show. The actual environments look real even on my crappy old PC.

Gameplay – This is where it gets a little buggy when you’re doing space combat. As soon as you get in range of 2 or more objects, even if they are far away from each other, they will link and attack you which I don’t think is intended. Hopefully they will fix the bug for retail. Controlling the ship is also a bit cumbersome. It feels like it takes forever to turn and get to your desired destination if warp is on cooldown. The enemy NPCs so far don’t pose much of a challenge….you just keep shooting them…they don’t move fast.

Overall Impression - This game could be great when it hits retail if they work out the kinks and make movement/combat smoother. Below are some awesome screenshots too!!! This is what I mean by awesome graphics!

So its 2010….and it’s been busy to say the least. Feels like 2009 went too quickly. I did my usual thing on New Years Eve….spending it at home with my folks, watching the ball drop; it’s become a tradition at my house for years.

I finally decided to apply to grad school although the tuition price really bothers me…$60k for a measly 42 credits but I realize I am paying for the name. I have to send a recommendation letter before I can submit my application though but I think getting that back won’t take too long.

So what have I come up for my resolution? Well… I was thinking go to grad school for my masters and move out of my parents house! I think both have been long coming…I feel like I am way too old to live at home! Maybe find a higher paying job…but that’s kinda low on my list due to the shitty economy we are having.
