Every so often I’ll see something that I’ll pick up on a whim. Maybe it’ll look interesting, usually for a giggle and often because I can’t believe they went ahead and made it. And just sometimes, if the price is right (in this case, $50 that I thought “what the hell, why not?”) I’ll take it home and give it a look over. This was the start of my mildly-amusing (but very short) experience with Majesco’s latest title.

Alternative Magazine Online recently had the unique opportunity to speak to a lady who may just have the coolest job in the entire world: right now, she is Sylvester Stallone’s unit publicist! Not only that, but she has also worked with Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger as well. Even cooler, the entire gang (plus some fresh additions) are back together for new old-school action movie The Expendables, written and directed by Sly himself, for a release later this year.
Known only as Ethelmae (or Marialascala on Twitter), she has recently found many fans of her own via her fantastic blog. This wasn’t enough for AMO though. We wanted to know so much more about Ethelmae and The Expendables… so we asked her directly!

I had the great pleasure of seeing John Mayer for a second time last Friday at the Apollo Theatre in Manchester, UK. I recently reviewed John’s latest album Battle Studies on AMO here, where I described it as a grower. Keeping that conclusion in mind, I was certainly very eager to see how these songs would sound when performed live.

Perhaps it’s somewhat sacrilegious to mention in the opening paragraph of a Star Trek Online article, but I’m a huge Star Wars nerd. I’ve got the Force FX lightsabers, a hundred and one action figures from the 1980’s, a good number of t-shirts (totally cool in a retro way of course), and I want to karate chop Jar Jar Binks right on the tongue.
I know about the various ‘cult’ aspects of Star Trek, like ‘phasers set to stun’, Leonard Nimoy, and Mr. Scott beaming people up and all that but I’d never actually sat down and watched anything to do with it until I picked up the awesome J.J Abrams film on DVD a few weeks ago. I’m still a Star Wars chap through and through, but I have felt some nerdy urges towards Star Trek recently.
