Dirk and David are at the helm this week to talk about all things Star Trek. David’s upcoming game uses the Star Trek universe to tell a wide variety of stories with a wide cast of characters. But with a fan base as enthusiastic and demanding as Trekkies (or Trekkers), how do you respect the source material while making a game fun?------------------------------------------------------Contact information Dirk Knemeyer - @DKnemeyer, www.artana.com, Dirk@Knemeyer.com David Heron - @DavidVHeron--Episode Outline 0:00:45 - Star Trek roots 0:06:23 - Differing Trek series and fans 0:19:28 - Building a game for every captain 0:32:38 - The Star Trek story 0:39:39 - User research 0:53:18 - Alpha testing 0:56:02 - Star Trek appeal

It's time to shave your sideburns to a point and pour your self a square glass of Romulan ale as the Regular Joe's pit 1979's Star Trek the Motion Picture against its 1982 sequel Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan In a head-to-head matchup. Why does one hit where the other so obviously misses? Tod explains, yet again why "The Motionless Picture" persists as his example of cinematic disappointment, while Barry makes the case for the director's cut.  All this plus more Trekkie goodness.

1999 TOS Homages.

It turns out that 1999 was a big year for science fiction franchises. Not only did people finally get a new Star Wars movie, but three homages to Star Trek saw wide release that year. In this episode of Standard Orbit, Mike and Drew look at three movies that came out 15 years ago: Trekkies, Free Enterprise, and Galaxy Quest. Join us as we open up this time capsule and explore the conventions of the mid-Nineties, Mark Altman/Robert Meyer Burnett's not-really-biopic about nerds finding love in L.A., and the best movie about actors being mistaken for their characters since The Three Amigos!

Well it’s a late one, but we don’t apologize as we have a new episode for you, RIGHT HERE!!!

The Self Help Comedy Hour with Ed Crasnick #13    

Special Guests: Denise Crosby, Roger Nygard, Karen Kilgariff and Cathy Ladman

Terrific show talking with actress/producer and Star Trek The Next Generation legend, Denise Crosby. Not only is she Bing Crosby's grandaughter, she left the show and came back as her own daughter! I can't even be here as myself. Plus Director of the Trekkies movies and award winning editor of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Roger Nygard. And quadruple threat Karen Kilgariff sings one of her amazing songs. And a little therapy with great comedian and actress Cathy Ladman. Hope you like it, or your money back!

Come for the celebration, stay for the fear of abandonment-
