The Week in Geek Issue # 76
Welcome again dear readers, We start this week with a question for you: is it wrong I want cloaks to come back in fashion? After all, they’re warm in winter, stylish in summer, keep the rain off your head and when they billow in high wind it’s the closest any of us will ever get to being Batman. How can you not want to wear one? Now, onto the news! There’s been a bunch more pictures of Catwoman on set of The Dark Knight Rises, here and and here, Michelle Rodriguez will return in Resident...
Do You Need $1.6m? Compete for the Biggest Gaming Cash Prize in History
A Battlefield 3 Worldwide Conquest Tournament has been announced, not surprisingly, to celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated first-person shooter on October. 27, 2011. What is surprising, is that it is the largest console videogame competition in gaming history. Players from around the world (yes, including Australia) will compete online in Battlefield 3 for a chance to win $1.6 million in cold hard cash. The online tournament begins in early 2012 and will culminate with a live...
The Joker Comes to Arkham City
Mark Hamill may be known across the galaxy as Luke Skywalker, but to many fans he is the quintessential voice of The Joker, providing an aural counterpart of the same quality, to many ears, to that performance by Heath Ledger that so defined a legendary villain for a new generation. If you're not familiar with Mark Hamill's voice work as The Joker in the world of animation, then you are hereby recommended to seek it out. It's truly a metamorphosis from an acting perspective - and the results...
Back To The Future Marathon Sunday Oct 2
This Sunday night, from 7:30pm, the entire Back To The Future Trilogy will air on SCI FI! If you don't know the difference between Twin Pines Mall and Lone Pine Mall, why Deloreans should drive at 88 miles per hour, or what a flux capacitor does, then you need to stop, have a long hard look at yourself, and then begin to understand that yes, you are missing out on some of the most entertaining moments in movie history. Fans of all movies, not just Sci Fi movies can agree that the Back to The...
Sanctuary Season 3 DVD Review
The Sanctuary Season 3 Box Set is now available in Australia. With 6 Discs, 20 episodes and a buttload of extras, it marks a high point in the show's history. Season 4 will return to the 13 episode format, but will also deal with a story legacy laid down in Season 3 that was, to put it mildly, epic. If you're new to Sanctuary, Season 3 is a great way to get into the show, and coincidentally, a great way to prepare for the Season 4 launch on SCI FI on November 4. Doctor Helen Magnus...
The Week in Geek Issue # 75
Welcome again dear readers! We begin this week with a public service announcement: all those people who’ve been harassing me for years to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show can now get off my case. And I have witnesses to prove it! Yes, it was enjoyable, though not as high up on the ‘Where have you been all my life?’ scale as say, Big Trouble in Little China. It’s also resulted in me having the Time Warp stuck in my head. ALL. DAMN. WEEK. So, come up to the lab and see what’s on the slab....
The Eyeborg - A Real Human Cyborg
Well this is just disturbing. If you're a bit squeamish, you may not want to watch this. If, however, you think the world hasn't moved fast enough to catch up with all the cool stuff that William Gibson talked about in his excellent novel, Neuromancer (1984), then this will thrill you with the kind of pride that only comes when you see humans successfully launching themselves into the air with rocket boots. When you're confronted with such obvious 'Sci Fi-reality' moments, it makes you stop and...
Nice Bike. Fully Electric TRON Light Cycle Does 160 KLM/PH
Parker Brothers Custom Choppers are people who know how to make a motorcycle. The've recently completed work on a completely electric real life version of the TRON lightcycle, as seen in TRON: Legacy. It's obviously not a perfect replica (there's no ribbon of liquid energy left behind in its wake, for a start) but if you're the kind of person who would get serious about riding a TRON lightcycle, the idea of it being all electric might just be the thing to push you over the edge an order up...
World of Warcraft? Pfft! World of Battleships!
If you like the idea of playing games on the internet for free, but aren't the kind of person who thinks elves or orcs or any of that kind of stuff is really you - then we've got just the thing. A Russian website, wargaming.net, is combining the world of the MMO experience with the world of war. Specifically targeting fans of WW2 games, it started off with worldoftanks.com, and recently announced at Gamescon the imminent arrival of worldofwarplanes.com and worldofbattleships.com, which as you...
The TARDIS - For Cats!
It seems that Doctor Who lovers come in all shapes and sizes, and we've found a Whovian who comes in the shape of a confirmed cat lover. So confirmed is tardisbuilders.com contributor, 'astromark' that he's uploaded pictures of his tremendous carpentry project that melds his love for his cat, Kaylee, and his love for Doctor Who. As you can see, it's a work of genius - a half scale version of the TARDIS that also doubles as a cat fort/playpen. The cat, named Kaylee, now has her own time travelling...
