NERD ART: The Kessel 500 Space Race

I'm sure this isn't what Han was describing when he talked about making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, but I'd really love to see this race between Captain Solo, Captain Reynolds and Captain Kirk.

The above piece was created by artist NikHolmes which is available today on TeeFury.com as today's t-shirt.  If you really dig it, be sure to hurry over and purchase it for $11 before the end of the day.

Stay nerdy my friends.

Teaser Trailer for Star Trek Video Game

Machinima's YouTube channel unveiled the first teaser trailer for an upcoming video game based on the Star Trek universe that was established from the 2009 J.J. Abrams' film of the same name.

Expected to be released in Q1 2013 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, the game will feature a new original story written by BAFTA award winner Marianne Krawczyk, in collaboration with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, writers and producers of the upcoming Star Trek sequel.  The game is being described as " the ultimate co-op experience".

"The Star Trek video game lets players control both Kirk and Spock in a sweeping journey of epic proportions across unexplored planets and enemy battleships with the latest 23rd century weapons and gear. Kirk and Spock's complementary personalities result in the most fully realized and varied co-op experiences for this console generation."

My first reaction?  Meh.

What do you think?  Does this look like a solid game or just another generic third person shooter that happens to carry the Star Trek brand?  Let me know what you think in the comments below.
