Text-based Pong
If you enjoy Pong, and if you enjoy classic text-adventure games for PC, why not play some Text-Based Pong? Or you could read 183 Ways to Annoy People. (Don’t ask me why the title says 179.)
First time with Enterprise
I watched my first Enterprise episode last night, at 8pm on UPN. To quote In Living Color’s “Men on Film”: Hated it.
