"Star Trek" composer Alexander Courage dies
OK so this really has nothing directly to do with games... But on the theory that most people reading this blog are geeks and that "Star Trek" has in some way -- whether one of the five TV series, the 10 movies, or the innumerables games -- has probably influenced us or touched our lives in some ways, I thought it was worth linking to.
Alexander Courage, composer of the theme to the original "Star Trek" show, which not only was part of all the other "Star Trek" themes over the years but also influenced lots of other bombastic sci-fi music, died on May 15. There's an excellent obituary of him in today's Daily Variety by a very knowledgeable film and tv music journalist named Jon Burlingame that I highly recommend reading. Did you know Courage did orchestrations for everything from "Jurassic Park" to "Basic Instinct" and adapted John Williams' themes for "Superman IV?" I sure didn't. (And let's not hold that last credit against him.)
In an eerie coincidence, there's also an obit in today's Daily Variety for Joseph Pevney, who directed 14 episodes of the original "Star Trek."

I am so happy to get some hero gold and the hero online gold is given by my close friend who tells me that the hero online money is the basis to enter into the game. Therefore, I should buy hero gold with the spare money and I gain some hero money from other players.
