While flying cars have yet to materialize and time travel is still a ways off, I’ve been finding comfort in the fact that smart kitchens are starting to become a reality.

Wait till you see how it works.

Second, I involuntarily start to sing the 1980’s Styx classic Mr. Roboto … Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto.

If you ask most sci-fi buffs, or movie lovers ‘what’s the most horrifying creature / threat found in the vastness of space’ most people would say ‘Xenomorph’.  With that eyeless face, and prehensile tongue/ second mouth… not to mention the whole, ‘creepy hand spider putting a chest burster in your tummy’ thing. Feel like running scared, hiding from place to place relentlessly pursued by a horrifying monster from outer space? Survival horror meets the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation.
