Geeking out
Tuesday night I played this game called Artemis. It's a real-time simulation of being on a Starship Enterprise sort of bridge. Each position is informed by a networked computer, except the helm, who orders ppl around.
It was SO much fun!
Our team was pretty good. I started off on Communications, then moved to weapons.
I was the only woman there out of about 12 people. It was held in a video game MUSEUM in downtown Oakland.
Wow! So, yeah. Pretty amicable guys on my team: one lent me a netbook with the game's manual on it, so I could peruse my station's duties. The best captain would stand up while helming, which seemed right, and also helped me see him. 6 people on our team.
We destroyed the other team's ship at some point, because we could!
Grin. I kept gushing about it after. Near the end, I pointed out a Hunt for Red October version would be way fun. I guess there are more Star Trek fans than Sean Connery / Russian sub warfare fans out there. Still!
Best games night in a long time!
