Happy Friday folks,
I have a take on Netflix’s gaming ambitions, based on some material sourced by the Wall Street Journal. It’s a hobby of mine trying to figure out Netflix. There’s also a lot of pre-CES stuff in here, including the Verge’s actual pre-CES feature. It’s happening!

Holodeck sex, anyone? Yes, please, why thank you! Such a randy urge to sexual action appears to be the sexy siren call to naughtiness by horned up crewmembers on many a Starfleet starship. Fans of the various Star Trek series know how often a Holodeck factors into episodes and various plotlines. Holographic tech becomes linchpin for memorable stories. The plain fact of the matter is it’s both hobby and cozy lovenest for most all races we meet in Gene Roddenberry’s carefully crafted sci-fi universe.
