When shows get axed: A fan’s guide to coping
With this week’s shock announcement that fan-favourite superhero show ‘Alphas’ is getting cancelled, it made me take pause. It seems like this happens all the time: a great show gets cut down in its prime – before its prime, even. Things are just getting up to speed, when WHAMMO—axed. How does a fan cope with this level of entertainment system shock? It’s a quandary worth examining. For starters, consider this: you’re not alone. Go online, find a fan...

All New Prometheus Trailer Shows Us The Aliens
The new international trailer for Prometheus contains a wealth of story information for those who can't help but look at every single thing to do with Prometheus before it comes out in Australia on June 7. Sorry, if you're trying to avoid spoilers and such. I know I'm not helping. I'm trying not to look at all the Prometheus material that's coming out, but it's impossible to look away. It's all - just, so, good. In this trailer, I do have to give you fair warning. Not only are their snatches...
The Week in Geek Issue #102
Greetings dear readers! The writer’s on something of a high this week, or he would be if he wasn’t feeling like the living dead. Eyecon was an absolute blast and he had a grand time running his event, with some incredibly over the top French accents, which helped make up for the stomach bug he caught… And yes, plans for Sydcon are already in the works. *cackles evilly". On with the news then! The best news this week is that HBO have renewed Game of Thrones for a third season of 10 episodes,...
The Week in Geek Issue # 101
Welcome again dear readers! The writer’s been doing what he always does the week before he runs a con game: PANIC. Whether trying to find all the typos on the character sheets, streamlining his flavor text and just trying to remember the game rules, virtually all his attention has been focused on his game. Also, today he’s older. APPLAUD HIS DECLINE!! Moving on to the news now, the new Total Recall trailer comes in regular and director’s commentary flavours and it looks pretty good,...
Top 10 Sci Fi Games Of All Time
There’s less than a month to go til the March 23 Australian release of one of the most hotly anticipated sci fi films of the year – The Hunger Games. Set in the ruins of what was once North America, The Hunger Games imagines an evil capitol of the nation of Panem that each year forces its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl as tributes to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally...
Space 1999 Will Return as Space 2099 - From the Remakers of V!
I don’t know why anyone bothers trying to mess with the classic TV sci fi series to reboot or reimagine them. I mean, honestly, has ANYTHING good EVER come from it? Okay, apart from Star Trek: Next Generation… and Deep Space Nine. And Voyager. Yes, and apart from Battlestar Galactica. Hoping to emulate such noble enterprises, the good folks over at ITV Studios America, in conjunction with Jace Hall, the creative force behind the recent “V” reimagining, have decided to take the classic...
Mass Effect 3 - 5 Trailers You Need To See
Mass Effect 3 is hurtling towards us faster than the Reapers toward Earth. The anticipation is reaching fever pitch. This is the crowning glory of the greatest gaming trilogy EVER. And as trilogy-cappers go, it looks like its relationship to its predecessors is going to be more akin to Return of the King than Return of the Jedi (no, I don’t care what you say, ROTJ is the weakest of the three). So what is game developer BioWare doing to help us as we tense up in ever-more quivering, salivating,...
What the? Gramophone and iPhone and iPhone and Gun
We have two neat-o gadgets for smartphones to turn you onto today. Each delivering its own particular shade of cool. One’s for cashed-up techno-geek hipsters with a penchant for faux antiques – a trumstand for smart phones (you know trumstands, like those really, REALLY old record players with the big horn that came out of them?). The other is for gamers who take their smartphone FPS’s or laser tag just a liiiiiiiittle too seriously (but is still cool and I want one). It rather modestly...
