I'd love to be there; sounds like some great, original fun!  Unfortunately, I work that day :(  I'll have to catch the next one.  Grown-upping sucks!

9:30am - 10:15 
Advanced STF Speed Challenge (PvE)
--Two or more teams of 5 are formed up and are given the challenge to complete as many Advanced STFs as possible in a pre-determined time, the teams can do ground or space. Team with most completed, wins.

The team that accomplishes their kill count first wins.

That curved monitor is sexy. How much did that set you back?


$1,400 ... steep, I know, but it's awesome.  Only issue that a few games (Starcraft 2, for example), don't allow the ultra wide-screen resolution, so you end up with black bars on either side of the screen.  I'm given to understand that it was by design so that the wider field of view didn't give people a competitive advantage in a competitive game, but it kind of sucks all the same.  That's the only one I've really had problems with so far, mind you.

Here's a link to my original gaming rig setup setup, but the PC was getting a little dated and couldn't even run the new lighting upgrade in STO, so I blew the vacation budget on upgrading my gaming rig and a new 34" curved-display :)

Just wanted to do a shout-out to @AngeliKale7, @Teknomancer, @DanaDark, @nycblkboy, @Dazz, @Audiored, @JheredTorve, and Quinn. We had a great time running STFs as a team. Thanks to NYC, Dazz, and Quinn for stepping in to fill the empty seats when they came up. We spent over 2.5 hours playing as a team and knocked out quite a few instances, including Undine Assault and Vicious Cycle, Vault Ensnared, ISA (with Parse), and others we haven't seen in a while.

STEAM CONTROLLER

December 10 2016
I only just got one from work, I haven't yet tested it out with STO. From my understanding though, it should be similar to how the Xbox controller setup is, if that's possible to have on the PC version (I know STO developed a lot of new systems for console release).

Are you sure about that deadline? Seems to me if you have the tokens, they should still work after the promo is over...
