The New Who
Posted By:

At the very tail end of a quiet-as-a-mouse sci-fi news week, when everyone else took a break to avoid competing with juggernauts Star Wars and Marvel, the BBC have revealed our next Doctor Who.

The role will pass from Jodie Whittaker - who we feel performed brilliantly even if the show itself took a few wrong turns - to Rwandan born Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa, best known as Eric Effiong in Netflix's Sex Education.

More Netflix Woes
Posted By:

Following their historic first quarterly drop in their total number of subscribers which was reported last month, Netflix is being sued by some shareholders for alleged securities fraud.

Specifically the complaint accuses Netflix executives of unlawfully withholding details of slowed customer acquisition due to factors like account sharing, dating back to its third quarter earnings report delivered on October 19 last year.

NFTs Belly Up?
Posted By:

The Wall Street Journal this week ran an article declaring that the NFT (non-fungible token) market has crashed and is flatlining. It's down by 90% on several measures from last November.

While we're not NFT fans and expressed contempt for the Matrix and Ubisoft forays into this new territory, we don't share the same sense of glee which is commonly being expressed because we unfortunately doubt that they're done and dusted.

During this year's Eve Fanfest gathering in Iceland, Eve Online developer CCP announced that they're making a third attempt at a first-person shooter attached to their long-running space ship combat game.

Their first attempt Dust 514 didn't fully deliver on its promise and their second Project Nova was cancelled in development following a scathing PC Gamer pre-alpha demo preview.
