I really can’t wait for the new Star Wars movie! The last 3 Star Wars movies were a complete letdown, in my opinion, but I have good hopes that director J.J. Abrams will do an amazing job on the new one, just like he did on the last two Star Trek movies. Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens is scheduled to […]

Futurama is one of my favourite shows of all time. It’s an animated sitcom, made by the same guys that created The Simpsons, set in the future. Unfortunately, Comedy Central decided not to renew it, and the series ended on 4 September 2013. The show ran for a total of 7 seasons and 140 episodes, and spawned 4 movies. The humour, the creativity, and the clever stories […]

This free little universe viewer is quite amazing. It’s called Mitaka, and it’s made in Japan. It’s actually pretty old, the latest version was released on 26 May 2008, but it still looks very good. The download is around 35 MB, and it works straight out of the box, no install required. I recommend it, the sheer size of the […]

From what I’ve read on the internet, there are some big plans for the Stargate universe. It has been confirmed that the original creators of Stargate, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, will produce a new Stargate movie trilogy. Based on what they’ve commented, they will most likely do a reboot of the original movie from […]
I still remember when I first started StarCraft and watched the intro movie. It was so epic, my head almost exploded. The game was truly amazing. The dark atmosphere, the designs of everything, and the cinematics. It was an epic gaming moment in my life. That was almost 17 years ago, and StarCraft II released […]
Firstly, I would like to share the amazing trailer below with everyone. Star Citizen is looking to become a truly epic, amazing experience, and I can’t wait to play it!
