Tier 6 Ships

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...

Constellation Class

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...

Babylon Station?

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...

Star Trek Online Season 9 – Surface Tension

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...

Green Lantern Post Geoff Johns

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...

Star Trek Axanar

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...

The Time of the Doctor

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...

Peter Capaldi IS The Doctor

Although the story had been circling all week, I admit I didn't believe it.  Big name actor like him?  Surely we couldn't be so lucky? Turns out, we could 🙂

Star Trek Continues

I'm a sucker for a good fan film.  The Star Trek fan films have been really taking off over the last few years, increasing in quality by a large factor as projects like Star Trek Phase 2 (previously New Voyages) push for as professional and authentic feel as possible. The latest spin on the original...

Marvel Heroes

I've been spending the last week or two playing the new, free to play MMO Marvel Heroes.  I'll not repeat my thoughts here, as I've got a fairly lengthy review posted on Outpost Skaro.  Check it out, and I hope you'll be convinced to check the game out (short version: I'm enjoying it, but  I...
