An exploration of #VideoGame performances, this book merges #MediaTheory with performativity, revealing insights from Western art to digital storytelling.
Stargate Universe started 14 years ago today on Syfy.
Some didn't like the change of style for Stargate, others (and me) regretted that the second & last season ended on a cliffhanger. In any case, it was the beginning of the end of a golden era for Stargate. #scifi#stargate#universe#syfy#spaceship#destiny
I don't think it was an insurrection but #AlexJones sounds like a totally crazy asshole here. Sadly there's a lot of people who appreciate this rambling, tough guy routine enough to buy whatever he sells. If it was less of a debate but more of a conversation, I would have loved to hear @ggreenwald call him out, but they were technically on the same side. Never heard of #Destiny or the #KrassensteinBros before but they handled the situation well. https://rumble.com/v45l7kt-january-7-2024.html?mref=x3y6f&mrefc=3
I managed to go through #DestinyTheFinalShape first mission through a galore of connection errors and called it a day when I finished it and I got disconnected, having to go to youtube to watch the ending cutscene. Horrible experience, but the mission was a lot of fun and the Pale Heart is such a beautiful void.
It is nearly impossible to play solo. I failed my first mission on the "Easiest" difficulty because I couldn't figure out how to deal with the bugs that swarm the extraction point.
I "won" my second mission by running in circles avoiding the bugs, since I couldn't kill them fast enough or find and close the holes.
This reminds me why I don't play shooters. Oh well.
I also played a bit of #Destiny as an adult; which kind of broke ground on the whole "Main Story + Post-Story Events + Seasons with story + cosmetics + equipment" as a revenue / play model.
And while nostalgic, I don't play games to be "Challenged" (life is hard enoug!)
Tonight's fun fact: One of the guest stars in this episode is Tracy Scoggins who plays Gilora Rejal, a Cardassian scientist.
This wasn't her only appearance on a '90s sci-fi TV show. She played Captain Elizabeth Lochley, CO of the Babylon 5 station in the 5th and final season of "Babylon 5".
