Star Trek Online MMO Beta is coming

The new Star Trek MMO is now going into Beta and I applied to join. I’m not sure why I’m so pumped to sign up, it’s not like I have any free time anymore for gaming. I don’t even play EVE Online much at all, any more.

Longtime visitors to this site may recall a previous video from Pat Condell which I happily featured some time back. I said then that I’d very much like to feature more of this witty and insightful man’s work here at Merch.

Well, today we enjoy his brief video treatise on Islam and the idea that somehow people of the West are ‘phobic’ towards this noxious belief system. As always, Mr Condell provides and erudite and articulate repudiation:
