Learn the sounds of Klingon


Klingon love

We know that many of you secretly wish to speak fluent Klingon, come onnnn, admit it! Ok, I’ll go first, I tried for quite some time as a youngster, but, then realized I sounded like a car wreck and decided maybe to move on and eh, there was just nothing like TNG anyways. For those of you still trying, there’s The Sounds of Klingon web archive, a wonderful audio tool created by the Klingon Language Institute (an actual non-profit institute) intended to aid those interested in learning the proper pronunciation of the Klingon language. The archive features audio samples of all pronunciations contained within the Klingon language and is achieving major steps towards uniting our two peoples in peaceful relations.

The new Star Wreck episode, “In the Pirkinning”, is finally complete after years of hard work by many fans. “In the Pirkinning” is a full-length parody film, featuring quite impressive special effects and I have to admit, acting and translations that confuses the hell out of me.

WarGames sequel promises to disappoint


WarGames

With recent rumblings about a WarGames sequel underway, we were happy when reports disappeared, perhaps signaling that it was in-fact a bad idea to try and follow up on one of the greatest early 80s sci/fi classics. But now we’ve heard that a sequel is in-fact beginning production in Montreal, Canada this November. Directed by Stuart Gillard (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II) will direct War Games 2: The Dead Game, a guaranteed straight-to-DVD bomb. The story is reported to be about a teenage hacker “whose world gets turned upside-down after playing an online terrorist attack simulator game against a government super-computer designer to profile potential terrorists”. It seems the hacker targeted Washington or something so Homeland Security is deployed to intercept this terrorist before he can do real harm. Those interested in re-making WarGames should just go out and buy DEFCON by Introversion Software and play a few rounds of full-on WarGames-inspired indie gaming brilliance.
