Star Trek Podcasts I really like

I've been a Star Trek fan from way back when, watching the original series in syndication in 80's as a little kid, and through the launches of all the other Trek series since TNG back in the day.  

I'm a big podcast fan too and find a nice pairing of Trek/Pods works really well.  Here are some the most noteworthy ones for me.


Random Trek

A fun review of old trek shows, hosted by Scott McNulty.  It is an easy listen, there's a good variety in the series that get picked, and it's fun to hear other people talk about Star Trek and what they like and don't like.  The guests are varied and interesting and I've always thought "what would I say if I were a guest?".  It's also fun to listen to Scott repeatedly mix up Reed and Tucker.

Vulcan Hello

Another Star Trek podcast hosted by Scott McNulty, this time with co-host Jason Snell.  They both have a very deep knowledge of trek, have great on air chemistry, and have an easy, low pressure perspective on the canon of trek.  They both can offer fair criticism of new Trek without being mean or petty (which is a good thing--especially for Picard).

The Delta Flyers

The real heavy hitter on this list.  Hosted by Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan-McNeill (yes, Harry Kim and Tom Paris).  Started as a fun project during COVID, they watch each episode of Voyager in order, give a story synopsis, comment on the guts of film making, and generally offer incredible views of Voyager, the cast & crew, and production.  RDM is a accomplished director and producer at this point in his career and I've learned lots of jargon from this podcast.  One big praise that I can laud on this podcast is the fact that its given me more of an appreciation for Voyager and its characters and the actors behind the characters.

Enhanced logging in TempusGameIt

Image
Version 1.9 is here  and with it comes a few changes to better help understand exactly what the heck is going on when you're running the app. New Look Options Screen The options screen has been updated to include both options and info.  Included now in the info is a more clear view of what version you're running, as well as the addition of the path to the log file on your machine. There's also a new option available--"Enable verbose logging".  By checking this option, you'll be able to see all of the finer grain logging that the system does.  This should be especially helpful when troubleshooting problems or seeing what folders are getting scanned and what executables are being checked for a match.  This option goes hand-in-hand with the log path, since that'll be the place that you will want to look when you want more information on what's happening. Hey look!  Lots of text! Ignored folders We've also hard-coded in a few folders in your Windows di

TempusGameIt updates

Image
At the end of last year during the holidays, I took some time to work on some features over at my personal side project TempusGameIt.com. And those changes sat idle for quite a while deployed out to the development environment.  Over the past week, I buckled down and made sure things looked good, and pushed them live.   Here's what's new!  Game Source Updated Originally I sourced all of the game information from GiantBomb, but I had been eyeing IGDB as a better source of information.  So I made the switch over to linking games to IGDB.  The box art is much more consistent both in presence and dimensions, so we're less likely to have a link return a 404, or to have square or misshapen box art. Another big bonus is the fact that many titles include a link over to their Steam record if present.  This is a big win that I'll talk about in a sec. In light of these changes, I updated the game card to include these links too. Now with external links Discord Detectable Integrati

Ultima IV

Image
In the spirit of Blaugust, I'm reflecting on the games that were important to me throughout the years.  One that comes to mind pretty much immediately is Ultima IV. If I could get a print of this to frame and hang I would! I was almost 11 when this was released, and at the time I was completely beholden to whatever software my dad was purchasing.  I don't think I'll ever know what made him pick this up--maybe a favorable review in a Apple magazine at the time?  But at some point the game with the fantastical cover above just showed up at the house. I distinctly remember that we set up our Apple IIc with monochrome monitor in a corner of the basement next to the laundry room door.  Looking back, the monitor itself had a tiny viewport but at the time it seemed amazing.  And so crisp too compared with the Intellivision and TI-994a that were run off our old TV. It ain't easy bein' green I don't recall the details of how or when I decided to start playing, but I do d
