Ten Second News
There's a phenomenon where someone writes an essay about this or that but someone else wants to discuss something that has not yet made it to Ten Second News.
This is unfair to everybody involved. It's unfair to the guy who wrote the original essay because, presumably, he wants to talk about his original essay. It's unfair to the guy who wants to talk about his link because it looks like he's trying to change the subject. It's unfair to the people who go to the comments to read up on the thoughts of the commentariat for the original essay and now we're talking about some other guy's links.
So!
The intention is to have one of these on the Sidebar at all times. If you want to talk about a link, post it here!
And, when it rolls off, we'll make a new one. With a preamble just like this one.

This is one of those games that just sticks with you forever.
I seriously would have thought that Gamma World or Star Frontiers would have sticking power through the ages but those things are merely remembered and gigglesnorted about on the off chance that someone might be interested enough to look up the reference (and only if there’s a link handy).
Paranoia, though… even people who never played it feel like they must have, during one session that they don’t remember for some reason.Report
I still have my Star Frontiers books.Report
I’m still surprised that there hasn’t been a Star Frontiers video game.
It’s a property with a bit of history, old people will buy it off of the name alone, and the mechanics can be fairly easily programmed into any given RPG engine.
Hell, just mine the two or three best-selling modules for plot ideas and come up with some over-arching storyline to link all three stories together.

I’ve started playing King’s Quest. So far, so nostalgic, though I am now remembering not just how much I liked it, but also that I was never very good at it :D.
Star Trek Timelines is way more fun than it has any right to be, the actor’s real voices, etc., def add something as free facebook games go.Report
