For whatever reason, I've been watching some youtube vids of a fellow named Scotchbox (well, Alex is his name actually,) and the majority of his videos are of him playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew in VR. They are hilarious, and have got me very interested in going back in and playing some Bridge Crew myself. Now, I am quite the socially awkward butterfly, so I haven't (as of yet) played an actual on-line game yet, but have been going through "Starfleet Academy" to learn the ins & outs before I proceed, but I truly do intend to get online, hopefully find a decent group of chaps and... engage!
This game is 2 years old at this point, and apparently it's not as active online as one would hope (although it was just recently released on the Quest, so hopefully that surges the fanbase a bit) but since it's still a great game, and missions are supposedly procedurally rendered, it has a lot of life in it, and Star Trek fans are dedicated, I expect some good times going forward... as soon as I am comfortable with each station, that is.
This is somewhat rekindling my Star Trek love all around... as a kid I watched TNG all the time, new episodes...reruns... all of it. I've also watched all the original episodes over and over. The movies? of course! I've watched a couple of the spin-off series as well, but none of them ever captured my attention like TNG. Really liked Enterprise, saw some of DS9 and Voyager throughout, but eh, and judging by how much fans panned it, I don't think I'll even bother with Discovery.
Anyway, I think I am going to go back and start watching Trek again all around, maybe catch up on some DS9 and Voyager, maybe watch through all the movies again... Might even have to see if I can get a new Engineering Uniform and a new pin... this game brought me back to being a Trekker, or Trekkie or whatever it is! Yay! I'm a nerd again! lol.
