EVE Online is the biggest single shared, free to play MMO of all time. Its universe - shared by hundreds of thousands of players - is set 21,000 years in the future and centres on a distant cluster of over 7,000 star systems known as New Eden. It is the age of the Capsuleer; a revered breed of highly trained spaceship pilot that has achieved immortality through the use of cloning technology. Capsuleers enjoy complete neural harmony with their ships, controlling them from within an armoured capsule at the heart of their vessel.
New Eden, while dominated by the four great Empires of the Amarr, Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar, still contains many deep mysteries. Significant threats to the established civilisations of New Eden, as well as the players who take on the role of Capsuleers, exist in many forms. Massive player alliances and corporations regularly do battle and compete over disputed territory, and pirate factions have always been adept at causing trouble for Empire, citizen, and player alike. Then there are the Triglavian Collective and the Drifters.
The Triglavian Collective, until just recently, existed in an anomalous region of space called Abyssal Deadspace, hidden in an isolation that lasted for millennia. Constant incursions into the newly discovered pockets of Abyssal Deadspace by Capsuleers - as well as others - eventually caused the Triglavians to mount an offensive into New Eden. Their veil of isolation penetrated, the Collective emerged and began a full-scale invasion of known space, taking over star systems and bringing numerous fleets of technologically advanced spacecraft with them to secure fresh territory.

Memoirs Of The Dead
It’s over 40 years since George A. Romero’s seminal zombie sequel DAWN OF THE DEAD first terrorised the planet, forever changing our demeanour when visiting the local shopping mall. On the eve of its latest disinterment - this time in 4K - we spoke to two actors who lived to tell the tale…

INDEPENDENTS DAY - FC RABBATH
Born in Alexandra, Egypt in October 1986, director/writer FRED ‘FC’ RABBATH has been an inventor, author, comedian, journalist, and all around entrepreneur. He’s also hugely well-travelled thanks to his father’s work, which required Fred to live in several countries before he was even 16. Tirelessly prolific, he has written and directed a string of acclaimed short films and a number of features including Scarlet’s Witch (2014), The Hum (2015), The Movie Extra (2015), and especially A Brilliant Monster (2018), which we described as ‘quirky and highly watchable… a psychological horror/thriller that examines the nature of creativity and the obsessions which drive the creative mind’ He’s back later this year with THE WAITING, a highly unusual and unpredictable ghost story that turns slowly into an unusual romantic fable. We spoke to Fred about his background and his approach to his work in the independent movie sector.
HEART and SOUL
Known for re-shaping the landscape of movies as we know it (not just animated ones), Pixar has respectfully raised the bar with delightful, heartfelt aplomb. From the intense opening segment of Up where no matter how lacking in emotion you think you are, tears will still come running, to the joyous Randy Newman-scored Toy Story moments, to the roaring, superhero family dynamics in The Incredibles, there’s an endless array of remarkable Pixar memories. Even in just these highlighted animated spectacles alone, Pixar has imprinted many sequences into our brains that we will never, ever forget. Everyone has a favourite Pixar character, scene, quote, song, and catchphrase that still evokes something nostalgically magical in them. So, what’s yours?
