Dr. McCoy has been cast. He's Karl Urban. Which is an interesting choice. It isn't one that resonates with me the way some of the others have but it certainly interests me. One way or the other, J.J. Abrams will have my money for that movie.
There was someone who made a list of Top Ten Female Characters in Video Games and it didn't include Samus. I was sort of annoyed by that. There aren't many people I know who played that game when they were younger who weren't surprised by her being a girl - and in a good way. "OH MY GOD! IT'S A CHICK! AWESOME!" I don't know. Samus, Celes and Zelda (because she's come so very far) at the very least. More than that I'd have to think about.
This week everyone is preparing for Japan. Next week my boss and his boss will be in Tokyo, the lucky bastards. But it is all work, so I think I can be okay with missing that. Still, it makes me crave good udon. Maybe it is Samurai Noodle time. Mmmmmmmm. Ramen.
And everyone should go here. Especially Cody.

Date: 2007-10-17 05:29 pm (UTC)the reason I ask is because apparently there's a fan type series being run by some people, and they caught the attention of a few of the old school Star Trek types..
Of course, my friend pointed this out so he knows way more than me.

Date: 2007-10-18 05:07 am (UTC)I'm sure Croft was #1 but you know, I never played a single Tomb Raider game. Give me Samus, Celes, Shodan (does she count? ha ha), Heather (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHnAiaumbu8), Alexandra Roivas, or Viktoria any day.

I don't even remember most of these characters.
