Has this video always been so low-res?
I think people are going to start watching these again

I don't know if Dave just made up the whole "George and Gracie" thing, but there's totally a plaque devoted to George and Gracie at the Star Fleet Academy.
Watching this for the first time, this game doesn't look so bad. But it is just the tutorial. Perhaps it will go free-to-play. I could use more Trek in my life.
Re-watched the Not Like This series a few days ago; time to revisit Set Phasers To Fun.
" Fail MMO is fail. Giving away beta keys like this is a sign that no one wants to play. In a real MMO-RPG you are damn lucky to get one. Like WoW. People sold theirs for hundreds, when WotLK came out. Great video, but awful game. The simple fact of the matter is, that if a nobody like me can get my hands on 7 Beta keys. Then the game is crap. "Thats because it was an expansion not a 'new' game. The original WoW OPEN beta was almost playable for everyone.
That raise the roof dancing combined with Dave's "we're playin' staaar trek" made me laugh so much I almost threw up.
" @jakob187 said:" Wait, this is the GB guys playing the beta?! I WASN'T AWARE! I thought it was a ton of stupid promotional stuff. Man, totally gotta watch this nonsense unfold now! "Same here. Maybe they should've called it an Endurance Run. "
" The character creation is probably the best thing about this game. "Nah, it was pretty unimpressive when I was using it. The closeness to the source material is it's most impressive part.
I'm sorry but this whole game is a bunch of ridiculous nonsense; still, who cares if the guys are playing it?

"Wow, really? A game is crap because they give out a lot of beta keys? Talk about assuming stuff without even trying it.
I have had trouble downloading the beta, but I sill join you guys shortly! ^__^

I'm utterly disappointed that Dave, who's supposed to be a star trek nerd, saying "elevator" instead of "Turbolift" initially.
Man, I am not really interested in buying or playing this game (just not into mmo's) , but damn do I want to mess around in that alien/character creator.
I could totally see myself going crazy for this game if I knew anything about Star Trek. It looks pretty fun.
Despite a loose affinity for the source material I would only be interested in this game if it came with an extensive commentary of Vinny, Dave, & Brad picking the whole experience apart.
The game itself doesn't look very interesting, but the character creation seems amazing. So I'm excited to try this out when it comes out. Hilarious Preview into the Beta!
Awesome vid! Really enjoyed that. been let down with the last couple of MMO's i've played so I'll will probably give this one a miss.
