Star Trek: Beyond Review
Not every Star Trek fan is a devotee to the new films that J.J. Abrams started back in 2009, but in a way, I can understand that. Some people will always see William Shatner as Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. But I feel that the new movies have delivered an utmost energy to the screen, while at the same time tributing the legacy of old so that it feels familiar enough to not turn fans awa...[Read More]

Giant Trailer Roundup
In the lead-up to Gamescom, and at Gamescom itself, trailers were being pumped out by the handful. Rather than put up a separate post for each trailer with a few sentences introducing it, I decided that this time, I’d just put all of the trailers up at once and save both me and you a shitload of time. Below, you will find trailers for Borderlands 2, Rayman Legends, Assassin’s Creed III...[Read More]

The day before we recorded, however, Tom McShea’s “interview” with Greg Goodrich on Medal of Honor Warfighter for GameSpot came to our attention. Tom McShea is a “video game journalist” holding the position of “...[Read More]
E3 2012: Star Trek Details Revealed

While I’ve had to deal with depressingly disappointing news in the lead-up to the release of Star Trek, I’ve enjoyed everything else on the path. Today is, short of my discovering the ga...[Read More]
Midichlorian Black Market
Last night, as my wife and I were preparing to enter the sovereign realm of Morpheus, the anthropomorphic personification of dreams, I voiced a thought. I turned to her and said, “You know why Star Wars is definitively not science fiction? The time between the Old Republic era and the Trilogy era was what…3-6 thousand years? Why was there absolutely NO technological advancement in a pe...[Read More]
Star Trek Teaser Trailer & Concept Art
First and foremost, I am a Lord of the Rings geek. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again until the day I die. If I’m ever forced to swear an undying allegiance to a single geek focus, it would be Lord of the Rings. A close second, however, would be Star Trek. I got Lord of the Rings: War in the North last year, and it was fantastic. Next year, I get Star Trek, and from every...[Read More]
Star Trek Game Moved to Q1 2013
I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Star Wars, but I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Firefly, but I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Stargate, but I LOVE STAR TREK. When I discovered that the Paramount appointment my darling wife Lindsey had on her schedule for last year’s E3 was primarily for a new Star Trek game, I traded her any of my appointments that she wanted to get my ass in that chair. I can’t recall which...[Read More]
