Never fear, the C-Man swoops in like the dark night him self, and delivers swift blows of open source justice has I share my favorite Linux Podcast client, my adventure in building the ultimate mobile workstation, and so much more!
HERE WE GO!
The boys have had their hands on a lot of games this years, so with the year winding down – NOW seems like just the right time to share our favorites, and even a few of the worst!
It’s our LOTSO year end wrangle-up!
All that and more on this episode of LOTSO!
It’s our last episode of 2010, and so it’s time to whip out our crystal balls and future-vision goggles, and tell you our predictions for what is in store for the coming year. Will 2011 bring about the robot apocalypse? Life on other planets? Warp drive? The death of Net Neutrality?
Tune in to hear some of the guys’ top predictions, as well as a few from our audience.
What self-respecting modern geek would pass up the chance to see the sequel to the most awesome virtual reality epic of our young lives? NOT THESE GUYS. The J@N crew was there with bells on (much to the chagrin of the other patrons, jingle-jingle), and boy do we have junk to tell you.
We’ll try to avoid spoilers, but be warned that a couple may slip out.
Last year at almost this exact time, the STOked team made a few predictions about how the game would turn out over the span of 2010. How’d we do? Tune in to find out! And listen close for a few big predictions we’re anticipating for 2011 (and beyond!).
Then we’re ready to show you the best of the best of the missions that were sent our way! Be sure to click below to VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE which will be featured in an epic cinematic trailer during our January 4th episode.
No STOked Next Week. We film on Saturdays, and that’s Christmas morning.
We will return in 2011!
It’s the end of the year and it’s time to see how Linux did in 2010! We cover the best, and the worst!
Then – We geek out over Debian’s new toy, and the new Humble Indie Bundle!
All this week on, The Linux Action Show!
In the wake of Season 3, the STOked team have a few chips to get off their shoulders. The lack of a live Foundry – once called "the secret project" of Season 3 – has left us underwhelmed despite the patch’s many great mechanic improvements.
But we don’t dwell for long, as talking about all the neat new features that HAVE landed on Holodeck has gotten us excited about what we’ll see next! Borg ship parts, high-end Crafting sets, and more Foundry improvements coming to Tribble.
Then, after we’re done gushing, Jeremy will MATH your face off with tips & tricks from the latest crafting overhaul, and we wrap up the episode with an update on our "Submit Your Foundry Mission" portion of Community Feedback.
When The Linux Action Show has Thanksgiving, its freaking AWESOME. The resulting left overs are so amazing that they taste like ACTION diamonds of LOVE and we share them with our favorite projects and developers!
Then -
The kOffice project has been torn apart, and we dig through the fall out. PLUS we cover the new shiny bits of Android 2.3 that has us excited, and so much more!
All this week on, The Linux Action Show!
Tonight we get you hooked up with the goods that will save your last minute shopping butt! We’ve got items under $20 all the way up to $1,400!
Plus we’ve got the answer for those hard to buy for friends and family, and a few gag gifts to go along with it all!
Today marked the biggest expansion ever to the biggest game ever, in the history of MMORPGs. Blizzard tore their entire World of Warcraft apart and re-shaped it, and even destroyed and revamped a number of game-defining mechanics.
What impact can this have on the gaming market as a whole? What’s the scuttlebutt from the trenches? Worth the price for a returning absentee from the land of Azeroth, or better to stay gone? And how does Blizzard manage to keep their siren call going after after more than 7 years of production?
The big topic this week in the STO community with no doubt is the Foundry. Jeremy and Chris have had their nerdy little hands on it for a bit now and they share their first impressions!
Plus – We cover the highlights of the recent Ask Cryptic, and read between the lines on a few items, update you on a few great season 3 changes
Then – We’ve got an Exclusive look and a borg’d up ships captured during a Q&A session on tribble, and give you an update on our great Klingon experiment!
Last but not least it’s STOked’s holiday buying guide! We share a few of our favorite trek toys, and cover a few items that just might improve your game!
The Linux Action Show sits one out this week due, both the guys wound up sick!
LAS is back next week with a spotlight on developers and projects we are thankful for!

Tonight is a smorgasbord of internet failures! We promised to talk about NASA’s "ground-breakingly awesome" announcement and boy we’ll do so!
And speaking of big announcements and failures, OnLive today announced their new "unlimited play" plan. Wah wah. But hey, yknow, we still think OnLive is rad, and we’re gonna tell you why. Then we’ll tell you about a major game-changer that’s landed in Star Trek Online, which we’ll spend our weekend playing with, AND we’ll tell you why this has the potential to change the landscape of online gaming in general.
