Okay, here's that explanation I said was coming. There's only a few days left before we find out whether [iost_uid0]Enterprise[/iost_uid0] is renewed or not, so I've decided to do an Enterprise Week -- kill as much of my backlog as possible and use the event to promote the Save Enterprise campaign. My original plan was to start on Wednesday, and here, I did. Unfortunately, I then discovered that my Trek Nation fiver-posting system is down, and while I've talked to Christian about the problem, he hasn't been able to fix it yet. So the start of Enterprise Week has been delayed; with any luck, the system will be working again tomorrow so I can post "E²" at TT, and then the next new fiver will be Sunday.


However, to tide you guys over, tomorrow's update will be [iost_uid0]awesome[/iost_uid0]. Tommy Kvarsvik has made us another comic book fiver! If you missed the first one (for Five-Minute [iost_uid0]Star Trek: The Motion Picture[/iost_uid0]) it's here until I change it over to PHP. And hey, I haven't actually linked to it anywhere in 5MST, have I? That seems a pretty big omission... but I digress. Come back tomorrow for a comic book version of another of my fivers -- and just for fun, first person to guess which one it is gets a cookie.


As for today, here's a link: 1UP.com is the sister site of several gaming magazines, including the well-known OPM (Official PlayStation Magazine) and the excellent one I got a free subscription to, GMR. I link to them today because they've got detailed coverage of the coolest thing that's been going on this week: E3, the massive annual videogame-industry trade show where all the big gaming companies show off the new games and products they're working on. This year, visitors got to see the new Nintendo handheld system, the DS; Sony's handheld PlayStation product, the PSP; and countless games, including the awesome-looking [iost_uid0]Metroid Prime 2: Echoes[/iost_uid0], a new Zelda game that has IJD jumping up and down, and several Mega Man games that have me doing the same. Go to 1UP for first-hand reports on all the cool games we can expect this coming year.[/colorost_uid0]
