I can't believe the number of people wishing they had a beta key. Duders, just make a regular free account on fileplanet and get a key from there. No subscription required.

I think everyone who has a beta key needs to make their character part of Brad's race and form an army of Giant Bomb fishmen.

This is gonna be great. 
 
One thing I find funny about discovering this bank of knowledge a lot of the GB crew have for Star Trek is that it makes all of their uppity and usually inflammatory "I'm not up on the canon of *insert game*" speeches seem wholly unnecessary, because they're up on the canon of FUCKING STAR TREK!  
 
Nerds hating on nerdy things. It's insane.

I grabbed the key and will give it a spin, but, man...this game looks terrible.  It looks exactly like any other MMO I have played...nothing really unique or interesting other than the setting.  Ugh.

" @OldGuy said:
" Majel Barrett played Nurse Chapel, Lwaxanna Troi and "Number One" on the first Star Trek pilot (as well as the computer voice for many of the series [and other voice work on the animated series too]). "
She was also married to, and presumably had sex with, Gene Roddenberry. "
The story goes that the network execs HATED "that woman" (and most women audience members did as well) and "the alien" so Roddenberry married the woman and fought to keep the alien in the show - to, probably in substance if not in exact verbage, quote Majel: "He didn't think Leonard would have gone for it the other way around."

it may just mutate into an online chat room thing for star trek geeks...gameplay looks a bit poor i guess. but the dancing and whatever is nice - and you can't go wrong with goofy star trek humor. Up until the raise the roof dance I was thinking how fail it is. But i would pay $15 a month for dance emotes in star trek uniform...while theres a laser disco show going on from some stupid npc mob, canned animation!

Fucking awesome video! I love that you came up with another opportunity to do some longer gameplay stuff again. Fun commentary & actually a lot more excitement than I initially expected from the beginning section of Star Trek Online.

Sort of frustrating to watch when they just talk over the tutorials and then have no idea what to do next.

Oh man, Beta client downloading... no sleep for me tonight. I wasn't even hyped for this game at all, but if I can play with the GB crew then it's all worth it.

That looks a lot better than I thought it would be, hopefully I'll be able to acquire a beta key from somewhere.

I wish if they were going to do this they would actually focus on talking about the game and not just stupid random bits of Star Trek fiction.

Yeah, you don't do breaths in CPR any more. It's far more important to call 911 and do decent compresions.

Tried a bit of the beta before hitting work & really liked what I saw of it so far even if it's absent of Klingon (for the most part) in the beta. Takes a while to get the ship combat down but the level of customization in the game is even more than in Champions as you can customize the following: gear (food/potion equivalent) from ship replicator, bridge equipment, bridge appearance, your character & bridge crew skills/gear, uniforms, outside ship appearance, starting race & probably more that I've not seen. I'll definitely get it if the beta keeps going good. Love on this video that it shows the stuff I didn't see like making Klingon-human hybrids. 
 
Still watching the video but for next time, you have all the emotes in the little symbol to the right of the chat bar. Hopefully this goes as far as I did with the rescue mission past the first initial quest chain as it was quite full of wthell fun moments.
