The Week in Geek Issue #44
Welcome once again gentle readers! The hot weather has returned with a vengeance this week – the Shadow spent most of Australia Day sitting on the couch in a pool of his own sweat lacking even the energy to play video games. And let me tell you, that wasn’t how I wanted to spend my Australia Day! We also realized that last week was the first time in a long time we didn’t mention Doctor Who at all. This epic streak is now shattered with news that ride on Daleks will soon be available! Smiling...
Battlestar Galactica - Meet The New William Adama, See The New Game
Another British Actor will headline another Battlestar Galactica. Luke Pasqualino, who rose to fame as McClair in Skins, has been chosen to play William Adama in the upcoming Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. Fellow Brits Jamie Bamber (Lee 'Apollo' Adama) and James Kallis (Dr Gaius Baltar) were stand outs in what has now become generally accepted as the best Science Fiction TV series ever made. Pasqualino will be the fourth actor to play the role of William Adama in this current universe...
Duke Nukem Forever Will Finally Be Released Worldwide May 6
After 12 years, Duke Nukem Forever will finally be unleashed upon the public. The ongoing saga of the game's release has been one that has been a mixture of frustration and bewilderment for die-hard fans. The wait for the game has been so long that 'Duke Nukem' has become synonymous with games that are announced but, for whatever reason, do not make a final release to the public. But now, in one of the most unlikely turnarounds in recent pop culture history, Duke Nukem is coming back. He's...
Warehouse 13 Eureka Crossover Episode is Coming Feb 4!
You asked for it, and now you've got it! The Eureka/Warehouse 13 Crossover Episode is coming! '13.1', Season 2 episode 5 of Warehouse 13, is playing on Friday, February 4 at 9.30pm. Stick that in your Farnsworth-compatible electronic organizer and get ready for a show that not only throws Eureka and Warehouse 13 together - but Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! What? *shakes head in incomprehension* It's true. Not only does Douglas Fargo (Neil Grayston) get imported by Mrs. Frederic from Global...
Best Star Wars Paperweight Ever!
Ever had one of those days? Still searching for stolen 'Data Tapes' and can't find them anywhere? Can't seem to crush The Rebellion? Seems like the only way to vent your frustration is to reach out... and crush someone's larynx. Feels good, doesn't it. Gooood. Gooood. Let the hate flow through you. No! No. Stop that. Hate leads to anger, blah blah something something... the Dark Side. Oh hell. Who are we kidding? Sometimes Rebel Scum just have to die. Here is that moment. Encased...
Data is coming to Australia this Weekend!
Drop everything. If you live in Sydney or Melbourne, you owe it to yourself as a human being who likes Star Trek to make it to OzTrek4 this weekend! Lieutenant Commander Data will be in town. Or, you know, if you want to be weird and picky about it, Lucasian Professor Data will be in town this weekend. If your town is Melbourne on Saturday or Sydney on Sunday. Think about it. Not just one of Star Trek's most beloved characters, but all of Sci Fi. Will be here. In the flesh. As a real person. Brent...
What's On This Week Jan 24 - 30
Happy Australia Day! This week sees January 26 fall on Wednesday, thus making it the perfect addition to any working week. Of course, as true Aussies, we'll all be slaughtering baby sheep and offering them on burning altars to the great god, 'holiday', but after the dust has settled and the friends and relies have left, there'll be time to enjoy some Sci Fi. One of the coolest Stargate Atlantis episodes is on this Australia Day - 'Sunday'. You know the one. It's emotional. It's tough on medical...
The Week in Geek Issue #43
Welcome again dear readers! I don’t know about you, but this week’s cooler weather has been a blessing for me, seeing as how I spent most of last week sweating like an innocent man on the gallows. Right, I’ll stop my waffling before I begin and get on with the news! We begin this week with another sign of the Apocalypse – the first known Sharktopus tattoo. Be afraid, be very afraid… There’s been a big announcement from The Dark Knight Rises, with news that Anne Hathaway will play Selina...
Lara Croft Reborn In New Tomb Raider Game: Screenshots
Square Enix's upcoming Tomb Raider will be a complete and utter re-ignition of the franchise, coming, as it does with the tagline "forget everything you ever knew about Lara Croft".

The new game, just called 'Tomb Raider' begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.
