Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. This week, I tackled one of the pinnacles of science fiction: Star Trek. My newbie-ism has no bounds….
My homie, Wikipedia, told me that the show, Firefly, was named this because the ship is what they call, “firefly-class.” This means that it’s a small transport ship. So far, I’ve only seen one episode, but I think I will watch more because I’m pretty curious to see where they’re going with this. I was…

Okay everyone, this is it, the one we’ve all been waiting for. I remember when the first Iron Man‘s credits finished rolling and I thought, Okay, maybe there’ll be something good here. The movie was fantastic, but I just feel like there’s one last thing that I need to—HOLY $%&#ing $#!& on a $%$#$%&#ing Krispy Kreme…
I’ve been down this road before. You can’t live in this world without knowing at least two avid Whovians, so after some badgering, stalking, and finally the use of force, I sat down to watch the infamous Doctor Who. It was the very first episode of the first season. It was about…well, I’m not entirely…

I’ve talked a lot about the Ender’s Game film adaptation. I’ve also compared it often to the book it’s based on. However, I haven’t discussed the novel in detail yet. I’ve decided now is the time for me to do so. Unfortunately, for those who haven’t read it, you should know I’m doing this solely for…
I’ll be honest, I’ve forgotten how old I was when I first heard of Will Wright’s dream game, Spore. I remember being very young, and very excited. I remember digging through the internet, trying to find every scrap of information I could about the game, watching the full hour long Leipzig demo over and over,…
Back in the day, BioWare was known for bringing original concepts to life in the gaming medium. With titles like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, MDK2 and Jade Empire, we can see that risks were taken in the old days, and that the company was willing try new things, whether they succeeded or not, so long…
The utopian future was one of the most prevalent sci-fi concepts from the 1950s all the way until around the late 70s and early 80s. Notice I said “sci-fi,” not “future.” As we all know, apocalypse has pretty much been on most people’s minds since the atomic bombs dropped. However, science fiction gave us an…
