I am a huge fan of anything that has to do with space. Especially when space is portrayed in movies, books, and video games. When I stumbled across Kinetic Void in the Steam Community, I was very excited. Kinetic Void is a single player action simulator, made from the Indie developers Lumberingtroll Workshop on Steam. It is a greenlight item, meaning that it is an Indie game being supported and voted on through Steam and its members, which Steam is a video game digital store and hub for gaming. They are providing great opportunities for Indie developers like Lumberingtroll to get their games out there, like Kinetic Void.
In the game, you are in charge of your own ship, building your own ship, exploring galaxies, and running into different types of factions that may or may not like one another. Decisions are taken into consideration when coordinating with different factions, so be careful what you say, do or who you interact with. So far, Kinetic Void looks promising and intriguing with its innovative in-game physics and exploration capabilities. By visiting the Steam store, like I did, you can find more information on the game, its controls, screenshots and other updates from he developer. This particular game looks very interesting to me, but if it does not, take some time and browse other greenlight items and support your favorite game.

I’m just going to come out with a bold prediction: the world isn’t going to end tomorrow. I’ll just leave it to the friendly people at NASA to do the grunt work of debunking if you don’t believe me. While I think this whole Mayan calender hysteria has gotten a little overboard I do find apocalyptic things generally fascinating. I often nerd out on documentaries about fallen civilizations. I sometimes go on mini marathons of the History Channel show Life After People and the book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed was my favorite non-fiction book that I have read this year. On the fiction side I don’t really care how the world ends I just like reading about what happens in the aftermath.

2 weeks ago Capcom spoiled a video showing Mega Man battling Ryu in a 8-bit Mega Man fashion.
It is actually a fan made Mega Man game where Street Fighter characters are the bosses. Also it is Totally free and only on PC. Here is a link to the Website with info and Download
Sorry It’s been a while since any new posts, but real life gets in the way sometimes.
Anyway, Here is the teaser for the new Star Trek film Star Trek: Into Darkness. This looks as intense as J.J. Abrams first Star Trek film. As dark as Wrath of Khan?? Well now I’m in the mood to watch the first one. This one is out May 17th 2013.
It’s very interesting how this movie about a young William Adama fighting in the first Cylon war is being released. Machinima Prime is carrying it in small pieces each week prior to a full movie release on Syfy. Episode one is out today and looks to have the same level of production as the show did. I will take more Battlestar Galactica fiction however I can get it. Enjoy
I have been waiting for this for a long time. I know the making of this film has hit some rough patches that prevented it from being out this year but, it looks quite intense. The novel World War Z by Max Brooks is one of the most definitive source materials for zombie fiction of any type. The swarming zombies that seem to move at an unreal level of speed may be something to worry about but, that type of creature worked well in 28 Days Later. Just watch the trailer to see for yourself.
The Humble Bundle deals are always fantastic. This is the fourth one for android and it doesn’t let us down. The bundle includes Splice, Eufloria, Waking Mars, Crayon Physics Deluxe, and the huge indie hit Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP. Pay more than the average (currently at $5.62) and you get Machinarium too. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP is worth way more than that by itself. And, as usual the bundle includes the ability to download these games to play on your Windows, Linux, or Mac computers. The soundtracks for each game are also available with purchase for your listening pleasure. Choose how much of your cash goes to charity or the developers. Don’t miss out on this one!
It sometimes takes me a while to finish a book. I have many responsibilities and hobbies that consume my time. I also like to deviate from my normal intake of fantasy and science fiction novels with historical fiction/non-fiction.
It was entirely by coincidence that I found myself reading a book about the deadliest hurricane to hit the United States as Hurricane Sandy was gearing up to ravage the East coast. I live in the state of NY. But, in this case, thankfully not an area effected much by the storm. Regardless, frequent and powerful warnings filled our news feeds. Many wondered if the warnings were just hype churned up by the media. The morning after the storm made landfall and what weather that was predicted to hit our area fizzled out, I repeatedly heard dismissive comments about the warnings being overblown. Many just heard category 1 and felt that it couldn’t be that bad.
As the storm unfolded, I was alternating between reading news reports and finishing Issac’s Storm by Eric Larson. Did the novel impact my thinking about the storm or vice versa? Actually..both.
