First off, I'd like to thank everyone that responded to my request for Star Trek games last week (story). I wound up picking up Deep Space Nine - The Fallen, which I've been enjoying quite a bit. The game has the most unnecessarily complicated config of any game since Jedi Knight, but I eventually got used to it (after rebinding about 40 keys). After I've blown through this (and Max Payne and possibly Anachronox) I'm going to dip back into the Star Trek well and try again...I've got Starfleet Command around here somewhere, so I may try that out, although many people recommended Starfleet Command Volume II, so I might pick that up instead. I checked out Armada last weekend and it looked pretty cool, so I might look into that too.

QuakeCon is in two weeks, and alas this will be only the second one I haven't been to. I didn't attend the first one (which was basically #quake Con) but I've made it a point to attend it every year since then, even the year when it was technically The CPL event. But this year the Blue Jet is staying in its hangar, as Blue, Frans and myself are all unable to attend.

Regarding the contest: I haven't made the drawing yet, as I'm still waiting for the final list of names from GameSkins. But, I have stopped taking entries (only purchases before last Monday will count) and I'll be announcing the winners on Monday or Tuesday.
