NEWS - Spazio, ultima frontiera visiva! Esce il gioco VR (Virtual Reality) di "Star Trek" che ti catapulta sulla plancia di comando dell'Enterprise

News tratta da Slashfilm.com
It’s easy to cynical about virtual reality until you actually give it a try. Sure, you look like an idiot when you have one of those headsets on, but when you’re engaging with the right material, the experience can be breathtaking. It’s not going to replace traditional gaming and it certainly won’t change the way we watch movies, but it’s a fascinating new medium and a thrilling way to experience stories. As expected, this year’s E3 conference hasn’t been shy about teasing upcoming VR experiences and the next step for game developers and publishers is pretty clear. The faithful and the adventurous gamers are in the bag for this technology, so how do you go about convincing normal people to give this stuff a chance? The answer may lie in making games based on already beloved universes and characters, as new VR games based on Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman are on the way.

Let’s take a look at these in order of how much the trailers actually reveal, shall we? First up is Star Trek: Bridge Crew, a game that uses VR headsets to create a game that actually looks and feels like a proper Star Trek experience. There have been plenty of Trek game before, but they have been predominately shooters and straightforward action games, traditional experiences that just-so-happen to feature characters from whatever movie or television show was recently released.
But as the title of Star Trek: Bridge Crew implies, the game plants you on the bridge of a Federation starship, gives you a specific job (captain, engineer, helmsman, etc) and forces you to work in tandem with other players to control the ship, navigate sticky situations, and battle enemies. There is no straightforward shooting, just teamwork and coordination and overextending yourself to keep your ship intact and the crew alive. The game still looks like it needs a little work (some of the animations are a little rough and the character models a little dull), but the whole thing appears conceptually sound.

NEWS - I telefilm fanno male a chi non li ha (più)! Patrick Stewart e Miley Cyrus caduti in depressione...
Articoli tratti dall'"Huffington Post"
For a girl who is rich, famous and engaged to be married, Miley Cyrus is somehow still dreaming of more. On Sept. 13, the 19-year-old singer and actress made several surprising and somewhat depressing comments on Twitter. In a series of tweets she wrote: "ever feel like you want just.... something more. not sure what exactly... passion perhaps? sometimes i feel like i love everyone more than they love me. hatttte that feeling. Thought of the day: maybe it's not that they love you less, they just love you the most they are capable of loving."The sad sack comments alarmed Cyrus' nearly 9 million followers, who immediately wondered if everything was all right between the singer and her fiance, Liam Hemsworth, whom she became engaged to in JuneThe former Disney star responded to their worries, assuring them that was not the case:

We've become particularly fond of Cyrus' Twitter musings over the past year, because her ruminations are both fairly amusing and often enlightening. The singer's propensity to stand up for what she believes politically and personally via her Twitter account has proved rather impressive. Her Twitter presence is appreciated, but Cyrus also seems to have a desperate need for attention, which is more than evident by her constant documentation of her ever-changing hair, alarmingly shrinking body and skimpy outfits
Perhaps Cyrus' depressing tweets are evidence that something is truly wrong, but it's also likely that the world was simply witnessing a public teenage mood swing.

He may have survived the Borg, but it appears that Time Warner Cable has assimilated Sir Patrick Stewart's life-force. Or at least that's what the actor, best known for his portrayal of Captain Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," tweeted at the cable and Internet service provider Thursday:
The Consumerist reports that after Stewart's complaint was retweeted "a few hundred times," Time Warner Cable's social team got back to him, asking, "How can we assist you?". But the actor wasn't impressed. "If that question had been asked at any time in the last 36hrs it would have been of value," Stewart shot back. BetaBeat has the full Twitter exchange between the Shakespearian actor, who recently became a resident of the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. Time Warner Cable eventually released a statement to the blog, assuring everyone that the situation was under control:
“Our Care and Social Media teams are fully engaged to make sure he’s well tended to. On behalf of the many Trekkers and Sir Patrick Stewart fans across our company, I can assure you, we will make it so,” the statement said.
The blog also reported that Stewart isn't the first "Star Trek" actor to experience a warp core breach over the company's lackluster customer service.
Once Stewart's story was posted to Reddit, the social news community responded in its own way (Warning: Strong(er) language).
