Over the summer, I binged Severance. I've seen a lot about this series, and a lot of pop culture references to it, so I thought I'd give it a try.The show is about employees at Lumon Industries who undergo a surgical procedure called "severance," which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. When they are at work, their "innie" self has no memory of their life outside

While waiting for season two of NCIS: Origins to start, I thought I'd write a little bit about the inaugural season that aired last year.  Gibbs is back!  Well, sort of!  The series, as the name implies, is a prequel.  It's a prequel on two counts. First, it follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he begins his career as a special agent at the Navy Investigative Service Camp Pendleton

 Cautiously optimistic about this one. There seems to be something for everyone here.  I wonder what the final game will look like, and if it spans the entirety of Voyager's 7 years (or more) into the delta quadrant...

Thundercats RoarA while back...sometime during COVID, if I remember correctly. I started to watch it back then, but my original reaction to it was "WTF?!"  I admit that I was expecting more of a repetition or modern reimagining  of the original Thundercats (the 2011 version wasn't that bad), and what we got was...not that!The core idea is the same...their planet exploded, they crashland on

The Americans[spoilers] Last month I finally finished The Americans. I had started watching this back in 2017 (ish?) but after the first season I fell off. I've been meaning to return to finish it, and I finally binged it this past summer.  The series is spy thriller set during the Cold War. Our main characters are  Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, Russian spies who were trained in Western-style

 Wow!  A second Star Trek game announced in the same week.  Cool!This one appears to be a "Survive the Delta Quadrant" sort of game.  Not quite the survival horror one that I shared yesterday, but survival nevertheless.  The cutout view from this trailer reminds me a bit of Trexel's (the original pixelated one, not the isometric reboot...)Looking forward to seeing this in Steam

 There's a new Star Trek game coming out for VR, titled "Start Trek: Infection".  A survival horror game is a bit strange for Star Trek, but given that Strange New Worlds opened the door with its "zombie episode" this season, this game doesn't seem soooo out of place. In the game you appear to be playing a Vulcan who is infected with [whatever plant or viral agent] that's transforming

A while back, I came across another forgotten 90s era TV series, Robocop! This was a one-season series, Canadian-made, which really felt a lot like the first Robocop movie. The small interludes and news commentary from OCP-sponsored television shows really captured the dystopian capitalistic and consumeristic culture portrayed by Verhoven's Robocop.The pilot episode runs two hours, and was adapted

Oh, come on, Mozilla!Looks like Mozilla is shutting down Pocket (originally known as "Read it later").The move is not unexpected, if you've been paying attention to Mozilla's developments over the past few years.  They've divested from the Open Badges things that they helped create, they divested from the VR stuff they also created, and now they are killing off another legitimately useful tools. 

 Και αφού είναι εργατική πρωτομαγιά, να και ένα επίκαιρο πόστερ 😉Ήρθε η άνοιξη νομίζω! Καιρός να βγάλω και τα καλοκαιρινά από την αποθήκη.
