Despite abundant videos focusing on Exodus‘ alien species and uncharted worlds, it’s been a while since the last time we got a proper look at the game. Fortunately, studio Archetype Entertainment and publisher Wizards of the Coast are ready to start showing off meatier chunks of gameplay, and the new trailer is a must-watch. The official website had also given us plenty of in-universe history and lore to chew on, but we’d been dying to see more of the actual game. After missing last week’s Game Awards ceremony (which was…

The Imperial Probe Droid is one of the best Lego Star Wars sets we have reviewed and you can now pick it up for a low price
While the Imperial Probe Droid may have made only a brief but menacing appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, it is still one of Star Wars’ most iconic droids. It has been impressively recreated in this 683-piece Lego set which is currently on sale at a reduced price. The best price we found ahead of the holidays is at Walmart and given that it regularly retails for around and above $70, and is priced at $70 on Amazon, it’s pretty good value this holiday season. Unfortunately, Walmart says this will…
Read More‘Edge of Space’: Ambitious short film chronicles daring flight of X-15 rocket plane test pilot (video)
EDGE OF SPACE Trailer – YouTube Watch On Getting noticed in Hollywood is a Herculean task for up-and-coming young filmmakers. If you wanted to put a holiday spin on it, you could say they’re often given a snowball’s chance in Hell. Dreams of being recognized are often disappointingly dim, unless you’ve got a hot screenplay or, in the case of writer/director Jean de Meuron, a professional pulse-pounding short film centered around a brave USAF test pilot recruited by NASA for a suborbital mission aboard the X-15 rocket-powered aircraft. Set in…
Read MoreWhere does ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ fit in the Star Wars timeline?
It’s easy to forget that the “Star Wars” we’ve seen unfolding since director George Lucas’s first entry erupted onto the big screen back in 1977 actually happened ages ago — as in “a long time ago,” — and not in some far future period, despite the futuristic spaceships and lightsabers. That might seem perfectly obvious to most fans, but it’s worth mentioning as we delve into the timeline of Disney+’s “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” to hone in on the calendar to determine where Wim, Fern, Neel, KB and Jod Na…
Read More‘Dune: Prophecy:’ What are Face Dancers and who are the Bene Tleilax?
Watching someone transform their appearance into the likeness of a long-deceased loved one before your very eyes would be unsettling for anyone to see, but apparently, this is a thing in the “Dune” universe and we’re here to explain everything you need to know about these shape-shifting individuals. If you’ve seen the end of the “Dune: Prophecy,” episode “Twice Born,” after Valya Harkonnen stood by to see poor Uncle Evgeny Harkonnen fall out of his floating suspensor chair and die gasping and floundering for air after she denied him his…
Read More‘Dune: Prophecy’ stars talk weird haircuts and hairy coats (exclusive)
HBO’s “Dune: Prophecy” is lurching towards its season finale on Dec. 22, but before we’re further embroiled in the heated court politics of House Corrino and Valya Harkonnen’s vengeful thirst for power and Sisterhood control comes to a head, fans were treated to some intimate time with the two brooding patriarchs, Evgeny Harkonnen (Mark Addy) and the younger Baron Harrow Harkonnen (Edward Davis) in this past Sunday night’s fourth episode, “Twice Born.” In the cheerless confines of their stone and steel abode on Salusa Secundus, the grizzled, wheezing Uncle Evgeny…
Read MoreThis Week In Space podcast: Episode 140 —University Rocketeers
University Rocketeers – USC’s Rocket Lab Smash the Amateur Altitude Record – YouTube Watch On On Episode 140 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Dr. Dan Erwin and student Ryan Kraemer about amateur rocketry. Many of us flew model rockets as young people, but USC Rocket Propulsion Lab takes amateur rocketry to a whole new level–in this case, 470,000 feet! Meet Erwin and Kraemer, who, along with a very talented team of other undergrads, built and flew Aftershock II, a 14-foot, 330-pound “amateur” rocket…
Read More86 years after infamous ‘War of the Worlds’ broadcast, visitors in the sky have New Jersey panicking again
The panic in New Jersey and across the nation is very real as there is still no explanation for the multiple drone sightings over the state. Reports of these drones have poured in nightly after the first sighting on Nov. 18, 2024, and the source of the drones is still a mystery. The drones have been seen over reservoirs, the U.S. military’s Picatinny Arsenal facility, President-elect Trump’s Bedminster golf course, and were even reported following a U.S. Coast Guard vessel. Almost 100 years ago on Oct. 30, 1938, many of…
Read More‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ brings back fan-favorite characters for ‘Multiverse of Madness’-style hijinks in latest episode
Ever wondered what happened to Bradward Boimler’s transporter duplicate? We already knew his death was faked by Section 31 and now we know the reason why: he’s leaping between multiverses as if he’s Doctor Strange, trying to stop whatever — or whoever — is tearing rifts between dimensions. And who else to accompany him on this mission but a crack team of operatives plucked from previous “Star Trek”s, alternative universe duplicates who bring their own unique set of skills to the job in hand. “Fissure Quest” is the latest super-smart…
Read More‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ episode 3: What’s Jod Na Nawood’s true identity?
Skeleton Crew, the latest live-action Star Wars show on Disney Plus, debuted last week with a pretty fun and uncomplicated two-episode premiere. In its third chapter, we get to venture further into a swashbuckling adventure full of scallywags and alien locales. But, more surprisingly, we also obtain more answers than we’d expected this early on. Some might take this as a sign of co-creators and writers Jon Watts and Christopher Ford not really knowing what to do with the mysteries they’d set up, but it’s quite obvious they’re toying with…
