This is Madness!

THIS IS SPARTACUS!

Okay, okay I know, the battle of Thermopylae- the root of the legendary Spartan 300 is Greek, and Spartacus is Roman and from the third servile wars. I'm a history nut, I know but the title had to be done...it's the internet people! Anywhoo, lets get this thing going. Starz has had the second season of Spartacus running for a few weeks now ( third season if you count the mini prequel ). It's by far one of my favorite shows out there today. It's even managed to calm my desire to jump up and down and scream about some of the historical flaws. THERE IS NO THUMBS UP OR DOWN IN THE ARENA!!!!! Thumb down: put your sword to earth- let him live...Thumb across the neck ( we all know this sign) : Kill him. DAMN YOU HOLLYWOOD!

Are you a treker, or a mod.

What your sci fi may say about you.

While most of us are generally “ Sci-fi” generalists, being fans of nearly all things the genre has to offer there may be a slight tell however to the inner workings of an individual by how they rank their favorite stories. A Sci-fi fan can be as diverse as any other group of individuals and each sci-fi series may cater to that different taste.

I shot first...

and Toto too...


It's time we take a break from social talk for the week and turn to something much more important, and more vital to everyone of us alive. To put right a wrong that has been done to us all. To rise up and let our voices be heard one last resounding time with all the combined might of the Imperial navy and Rebellion behind us. “ HAN SHOT FIRST!”

SWTOR Same gender romance update

so...any news?

Star Wars: the old republic has been out now for over a month, and has seen it's first major update, as well as many weekly patches and fixes. The sales figures are looking good, and EA/Bioware and Lucas Arts can keep pushing into the ancient lore of a galaxy far far away. From the early days as reported earlier Bioware has confirmed the inclusion of same sex romances as options for the characters. This has been a known feature since 2009. The feature however is still absent. What is going on? Many ask.

Here I will give the low down on what the average player knows, and those who may not play games but are cheering on the social advancement should know.
