Putting this here since it seems the most logical place for it...
I have, due to my purchase of a new video card, a Steam download code for Bioshock Infinite. Since I already have a copy, I'm putting this one up for grabs. First reply that wants it, gets it.

| [Storyline] Fenspace Infinities: Strange New Worlds |

Ok, I'll be done with my Spring Semester classes after my 8am final exam in U.S. Constitutional History on Wednesday. After this, I'll be looking for work until my Fall Semester classes start... sometime in August, I forget the exact date. During this time I plan on working on my own version of an Infinities timeline that I hope others can join in and enjoy alongside the mainstream timeline.
I don't want to give out too many details as I am still shifting through them in my mind and scratch paper. In a way, it will be a 'mega'crossover but it also won't (see below) as most of the subjects to be included will not necessarily ever see acknowledgement outside of the planning sheets or an idle mention as a sort of 'cameo'.
The working title of this project is Fenspace Infinities: A Patchwork in Time. It will include as several of its points:
SPOILER ALERT
- A Counter-Earth that wasn't there a second ago...- A sudden discharge from Nth Space of a $hitload of reality shards...- The Celestial Workers Union Local 758 pulling in overtime...- Harry Struve making a Faustian pact with a Fallen named Samael (Other Aspects: Nekron, Shinigami [Narutoverse], Baron Samedi, etc), taking advantage of the current chaos...- His divine mirror and brother Azrael (Other Aspects: Death of the Endless, Grim Reaper [Bill & Ted; Billy & Mandy; Last Action Hero], Joe Black, Papa Ghede, etc) making a deal with Alex Xanatos to counter it...
I will also finish a Master List of worlds merged to create Counter-Earth which will be up for debate for a certain amount of time before they are considered to be set. This list contains two categories, each with a set number of spaces to be filled: Worlds to be Used (Identifiable to those in Fenspace) [C1] and Worlds to be Used (Unidentifiable to those in Fenspace) [C2]. Some in these two categories will be purely cameo in appearance, if that. For example, Gunsmoke is in C1, but is unimportant to any storyline as the events occurred so long ago in the past. The debatable part will consist of another two categories which will cease to exist come the end of the to be set amount of debate time: Worlds Which Must Be Convinced To Use [C3] and Worlds Which Will Not Be Used [4]. Those in C3 I will concede to add to one of the Master List categories if I am given a well argued reason. Those in C4 I might be willing to change my mind about, but I would need one hullava reason.

Like it says, I've been testing out Warframe. I'm not a big fan of random PuG-ing, so I do a lot of it solo. But so far, I'm really impressed with what I've seen.
Anyone else tried it?

I mentioned in my Pavonis article that Altimit Corporation offers "Internet and television service." Also, we all know about ZNN, but what about other fen television tomfoolery? I imagine there's a few television networks in fenspace among the moderate to major sized factions.
In light of this assumption, I present one such network...
The Interplanetary Broadcasting Company (IBC).
This particular network started out at Marsbase Sara, but eventually felt overshadowed by competitor Marsbase Broadcasting Service (MBS). They relocated to Sheffield and have since expanded to three channels, IBC 1 to IBC 3. IBC 1 is generally news and educational programming while the other two vary, usually consting of movies, syndicated programs, and material from the Whole Fenspace Catelog.
Just a thing that came to me and I wrote up in about seven minutes. Opinions?

...is naming it.
I'm about to get a new laptop- a Lenovo X230 with the works. It's a personally-owned work machine- light on the graphics, but heavy on power, endurance, and portability.(How many 12.5" laptops do you know of with a 3Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, three SSDs, and 20ish hours of battery life? This one.)
I'm planning to load it up with the newest version of Mint Linux, and then throw on virtual machines- Windows XP and 7, to be sure, but possibly Mac OS as well. I'm not ruling out a Win8 VM, either- one of the goals here is for this guy to be able to pass for any other machine here (save for the engineering machines- this ain't running Solidworks on its best day).
But what name should it have?
My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Atom Bomb of Courteous Debate. Get yours.
I've been writing a bit.

http://first-website.web.cern.ch/]CERN has restored the very first website to a state as close as they can get it to its original content, and plan on expanding this effort to other sites that were hosted on CERN at the birth of the Web. This link is to their page about the project, not the first website itself, which is linked inside that article -- and it probably goes without saying that trying to get to the original website right now is impossible due to the immense amount of traffic already trying to see it. Wait a few days before you try.
