Star Trek’s Enterprising New MMORPG
Huh. I could have sworn the Star Trek Online MMORPG was canceled, but it looks like I was wrong. This rather pleasant new trailer probably won’t cause many new converts, but it should make Trek fans swoon appropriately, between the space battles and all the slick new starships flying about. The one planet they showed looks very cool and Trekkian, but it worries me that they only showed one?I think this game will live or die on how many planets there are to explore. But as long as players can press “S” to “have sex with green-skinned alien chick,” I suppose it’ll all end up all right. (Via Kotaku)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
