Majel Barrett-Roddenberry Passes Away
Another big name in geekdom passed away on December 18th, 2008. Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was most best known, perhaps, as the voice of the computer on every Star Trek series to date. She also played as Deana Troi’s mother, Lwaxana Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation. She was also well known for being Gene Roddenberry’s widow. Majel has just finished recording her lines as the computer in JJ Abram’s version of Star Trek. A sad day for anyone that’s ever watched a Star Trek series, as she had such an often over-looked buy no less important role in the shows.
She died peacefully during her sleep at the age of 76 due to leukemia. May she rest in Peace.

I did get some neat photos on the Walk of Fame though. Here are some that I figured some of you guys would like:

Star Trek Online Details Coming Sunday
An MMO Star Trek game has been in works for at least a year or two. A company by the name of Perpetual Entertainment held the rights to the title. I followed along with a sense of mild interest. A killer space MMO would be something that would appeal to me beyond all of the Fantasy based MMOs. In fact, my favorite MMO was City of Heroes. While it eventually got boring, and it’s problems eventually about drove me insane, it was still something that could hold my attention much longer than the typical fantasy based title.
