Site Update - September 11th, 2010
By Captain_Qwark


Greetings cadets on this the 11th of September, 2010 AD!
Our prayers and thoughts go out to the families of those affected by the tragic attacks on the World Trade Center 9 years ago. 

I'd like to apologize for the delay in any sort of site news lately. It can be hard to make time for things like that when you are an incredibly sexy galactic president doing your best save infants, orphans, damsels in distress, and the entire universe... But enough about my humble exploits. Let's cut to the chase.

Rice, Rice Baby!


The Starship Phoenix has made joined the charitable organization FreeRice by creating a group for our site. FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme. It describes itself as having two goals: 
  1. Provide education to everyone for free.
  2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
We invite all members of this site to participate. You too can be a hero like me, Captain Copernicus L. Qwark, and help others in need by putting your Earthly knowledge to the test.

Our group page:
If you wish to join:

Goodies! (Like Chocolate, only not as tasty.)

  

If hadn't already noticed, a new paper toy and Zoni font is now available in the Vendor! 

A user on the Insomniac Games forums by the name of Lombax666 has been gracious enough to provide us with some fun, little paper version of the furry guy and his robotic pal. They're totally cool, but one of me would be much cooler. Just saying.

Everyone's favorite Goppel has somehow managed to decode the sacred Zoni language and make a font font of it just for you guys! Neat, right? I know! I'm feeling more zoni-fied already!

Speaking of zoni-fied, in late-honor of the Phoenix's anniversary, Zonified has made a cool picture depicting some of the staff here as different characters. Can you guess who's who? (Hint: I'm not in it, but it would have made the picture a gazillion times more awesome!) Be sure to give your answers in the comments section below.



That's all for this update! See you sometime... in the future... soon... hopefully. Qwark out.

You should have put a link to Wierd Al's "Rice Rice Baby". That would have sealed the deal tongue

Nicely done. I like the way this update is set up. smile

Cool idea making a Free Rice group. At school last year, we would sometimes spend class time using Free Rice and it got intense when we started trying to outdo each other in smarts. lol

I also liked the "zoni-fied" quip. It made be laugh. lol
