Friday Filler #6: Stop Stealing My Monies

You might have noticed that I was a bit ambigous about Star Trek Online; I didn’t hate it but I also didn’t like it very much. I haven’t played it a lot since beta – just a bit in the headstart. Now I entered my real key to start the 30 day free period and […]
