If Incandescent Workshop’s starship bridge simulator Artemis is an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sleeping Beast Games’s Spaceteam is Galaxy Quest.

Every once in a while, a story comes along so monumentally stupid, so thoroughly and transparently an attention grab, it takes two people to whine about it properly. Such is the case with the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences giving Steve Jobs a special “Trustees Award” Grammy. For this one, it’s going to […]
