Startenders Launch
Posted By:

While we now have a drinks replicator on the market, and truly that's a marvel of convenience, Ten Foward was the place to go if you were serious about drinking on The Enterprise. Even synthahol.

We can't offer you your own personal Guinan, but Foggy Box Games have created a VR (virtual reality) game called Startenders which takes bartending to the next level by allowing you to pilot an intergalactic Bar Ship.

Daredevil Reboot?
Posted By:

Industry magazine Production Weekly which reports on films entering production have listed Deadpool 3. Interesting but not a complete surprise given last week's news that Shawn Levy was in talks to direct.

More interesting is the preceding entry in the listing - "Daredevil Reboot". Just a few days after Daredevil and the other Netflix Marvel series joined the MCU on Disney+ in the US.

Cloaking Technology
Posted By:

Last week we looked at the Cana One molecular drinks printer which is functionally (though not mechanically) very close to a Star Trek replicator for drinks and Ken Kutaragi has teased that something like holodeck technology may be in the works.

If asked to name one of the other big Star Trek technologies we wouldn't expect to see especially soon, many might say cloaking.

Posted By:

If you've always wanted to see wee little Wesley Crusher graduate to the captain's chair, bad news. This isn't that.
