A blog about sci-fi, comics and general geekery
So, this week saw the final release of Elite Dangerous for PS4. Something that had been hotly anticipated for some time, since the XBox release was confirmed. Last night I managed to get a (very) quick shot at it, which was also my first exposure to the new tutorials. I've been looking forward to... Continue Reading →
So when I was last updating this blog, Elite Dangerous was still in beta. Those days are long gone now as the game is now over 2 years old. Its been really interesting to see the game grow and develop over that time. Especially in comparison to other games in the genre, which have often... Continue Reading →
Yikes. Its been ages since I last blogged. Its not that I don't enjoy it. While I still wouldn't in anyway characterise myself as a good writer, I still take a fair amount of enjoyment from it. More recently, working on fanfic to bolster the backstories of my various Star Trek Online characters.... Continue Reading →
Yup, another Star Trek Online blog. A bit dull. I was going to do a Referendum one, but it ended up drafted and redrafted so much it eventually didn't seem worth it. Maybe I'll work on a Doctor Who/Capaldi one instead. Anyway, Star Trek Online has announced it's second expansion with Delta Rising coming out... Continue Reading →
One of the final ships from the TV series has finally made it into Star Trek Online, as the Constellation class has been released. Best known for Captain Picard's first command, the USS Stargazer, the Constellation class has been a favourite since its début in season 1 of Next Generation, bringing ships with four warp...

I'm a player in the beta of Elite Dangerous. I never played the original but have long been drawn to that kind of game, and so far the beta is all kinds of fun. To the point that I can't really envisage what the game's going to be like in its full scope with thousands... Continue Reading →
Season 9 of Star Trek Online is here. Building on the story setup in the previous Featured Episodes, the Undine (Species 8472 from Voyager) are the key focus following the rediscovery of the Jenolan Dyson Sphere as a gateway straight to the Alpha Quadrant. A lot of the action plays out in the latest Featured... Continue Reading →
Geoff Johns leaving the Green Lantern titles was a landmark moment. So big, in fact, that DC decided to revamp the whole line up, replacing every other creative on the books as well. I might argue that this was a tad overkill, but it was understandable. Its a change I was pretty excited about, having been... Continue Reading →
Its a good time to be a fan of classic Trek, with the likes of Phase 2 and Continues bringing us new episodes at an ever-increasing level of quality. From a fan perspective I think its incredible that we're at a point where we can get that level of quality from fan productions and... Continue Reading →
2013 was a bit of a roller coaster year as a Who fan. From the initial downs of feeling like production had slowed down in what should've been a massive year, and feeling a bit let down by several episodes of series 7b, things perked up massively (and rightly so) in November, with Night of...
