Remember the mostly shitty Shining mini-series starring Steven “The Guy From Wings” Weber as Jack Torrance? He was not very good, but I think they were on the right track, they just picked the wrong guy from Wings. It should have been Thomas Haden Church. He would’ve killed it.

Wow, check out those ‘3D’ graphics.

In my mind the graphics in Myst were still amazing, so it’s kind of disappointing to actually see it again and realize how dated it looks now.

This was the 1993 entry for Wired’s ‘Most jaw-dropping game graphics’ list of the last 20 years - check out the full list here.

This game was mind blowing. And way too complicated for a five year old

I still think Myst looks really beautiful. I think it has aged remarkably well for a 20 year old game.

“It’s all part of a plan to seriously redevelop the city’s “tourism and tradeshow infrastructure” through a mix of private and — controversially — public funding, the Chicago Sun-Time reports.

According to the Sun-Times, which first reported on the plan for the new $173 million 10,000-seat arena at McCormick Place on Monday, DePaul will contribute $70 million to the arena while $70 million will come from the McPier’s bond fund — which is backed by local hotel and motel taxes.

The remaining $33 million for the arena — which will host trade shows and concerts in addition to DePaul basketball — will be paid using tax-increment financing (TIF) district funds.

(What are TIF funds? Read this primer from the Chicago Reader.)”

Sigh. The whole point of Star Trek is that it’s philosophical. If you don’t want philosophical Science Fiction, there’s plenty of that for you to enjoy, but Star Trek is philosophical. Philosophy is part of Star Trek’s DNA, and if you’re given the captain’s chair, you’d better damn well respect that.

NERD RANT:

While I do, in general, like nu-Trek (I had my issues with the first movie’s plot, but I don’t begrudge its existence), it is a shame that J.J. Abrams doesn’t really “get” Star Trek. Trek 2009 was a fun action film, as I’m sure Into Darkness is, but as Wheaton says, “Star Trek is philosophical.”

To be fair to Abrams and nu-Trek, however, most Star Trek movies are action flicks (with the definite exception of The Motion Picture). Mainstream moviegoers have no time or patience for philosophy.

I like J.J. Abrams, I like nu-Trek, but I think the man will be more in his element when he directs the next Star Wars. If the Trek franchise continues, I think it might benefit to have a different voice who understands Trek more.

(Then again, there are those who will argue that that will put back us in a stagnant Berman/Braga-type era, and they might not be wrong. But I think there’s room for growth, as well as sticking more to what Gene Roddenberry had in mind all those decades ago).

Yeah I basically agree. Sometimes I feel like people who complain about the Abrams Star Trek being too action-oriented didn’t really see the original Star Trek movies. The first one was like an extra long episode of the series, but all of the other ones totally beefed up the action a LOT compared to the TV show. The new movies are basically just extra beefed up versions of the original movies. It’s because big space movies are expected to have more spectacle and more “at stake” than your average Star Trek bottle episode. There’s nothing really wrong with it as long as the characters and the spirit of the thing are all intact. That being said, he will definitely be more in his element with Star Wars.

Also, to be fair to Abrams, he said later in the interview that he loves Star Trek now and that the philosophical aspects of it only really put him off when he was a child.
