Hasta-la-vista, I be outside for the next few weeks. I might take my lappy outside and even let MEC get a nice summer tan, though granted, it already looks like an Afro-american with a whole lot of fancy rings.
Dont be fooled, even geeks like me enjoy the weather at times!
Those who are staying inside, take a look at this great topic on our boards: MEC Goes Bollywood!
So a few days ago, I posted this announcement requesting gaming staff for the site.
The amount of replies I got? 0, null, zero or none. Any way you put it, this is a sad number for a forum memberbase that feels its needed to initiate a riot when an admin does not have gaming experience. I feel that a number of people (you know if this is you) just come on to criticise and sometimes even make suggestions now and then, especially during our infamous forum riots - but do not contribute anything when it is being asked.
At any rate, I realise many people here no longer play the games, but still. The only staff position that seems to be popular at times, is when a new moderator is requested. Maybe someone can explain that to me, but a writing positon allows for much more freedom, creativity and a hell of a lot less criticism then you would get as a moderator.
But meh, its probably just me. But some of these old-members-turned-lurkers are usually just pissing me off rather then contributing anything.
On a related note, Zach has been helping out on the RoTWK pages. I myself am working in the LotRO ones.

And out popped… Martha Stuart
Any self-respecting BSG fan (new series, not the old bots) will know about this date. Its when Season 4 kicks back into motion. I realise there aren’t many fans of the show on MEC these days - Berethor and Xbox were but those guys left quite a while ago.
At any rate, here’s an 8-minute catch-up video. Lost fans will recognise the montage and voice-over. I’d recommend watching the actual show as you can’t appreciate the drama and action from a 1 sec clip for each episode.
Also, here is the one trailer to rule them all, to stay in LotR terms. This is for season 4, and has some spoilers, so you might not want to watch this if you don’t like to be spoiled.
There’s a ton more trailers and promo’s, and more stuff is being posted and screened almost daily. I would recommend http://galacticasitrep.blogspot.com/ if you want to keep up

My friends, this is a beautiful day. My friends, this is a day in which us, friends, can be friends in a friendly environment to bring about friendly change in a friendly way that makes us all friends. My friends, we need to lower taxes. My friends, I know we are in a war, of friends, but taxes must be lowered. Since we are old baggage, my friends, we won’t have to pay for this war and shouldn’t. My friends, let our children and their friends pay for the war. While we, my friendliest friends of friends, live in friendly Florida to retire and die. My friends, eat the democrats.
Now, my friendly friends that are friends to many friends of friends of cousins of friends, we also must keep fighting this way. My friends, it is in our interest to —

First and foremost, I am only going to type my entries in HTML. Why? Because I am pr0 like that. However, I must admit I forget nearly everything I memorized about a year ago. Generally speaking, I only know CSS. However, I did bother to learn HTML once but soon replaced that with C++.
As for the daily headlines making world news -
