Today, 07/03/2010 - Reviews Continue to Pour in for "Nekyia Corridor"
"The reviews continue to pour in for 'Nekyia Corridor', some offended, but most overawed. 'A simulstim that can impress both human and asari audiences is hard enough', says columnist Gara Sator of simswithguns.com, 'but Bierster has the insane dream of going after the whole galaxy. From the reaction I saw among salarian audiences, he might just get it'. Meanwhile, Lucy Tannenbaum of sharpstickintheeye.com says, 'The adventures of the protagonists are so jaw-droppingly extreme that they would be called unbelieveable in a holo, except that you know that this is a sim, and some crazy mother[expletive] actually had to do it. Before the shock wears off, you're willing to believe any hoo-ha the script throws at you'."

07/01/2010 - "Nekyia Corridor" Breaks First-Day Release Records
"The wait is finally over: 'Nekyia Corridor' opened at midnight last night to throngs of camped-out fans. The 5.3 billion-credit juggernaut broke first-day release records, sucking up 2.97 billion credits in 20 (Citadel standard) hours. 'At its core, the sim's about falling in love, losing that love, and trying to get it back', says director Morgan Bierster. 'It just takes place in one of the most dangerous parts of space where ancient asari once believed the souls of the dead went'. Turian reviewers have called the FTL-impact scene 'haunting' in light of the Vallum Blast, one saying 'being in the body of the pilot is gut-wrenching; the cut-away leaves everything to the imagination and is just the right move'. Human reviews were mixed, one saying, 'it harbors the vain hope that the viewer will turn his brain off while [the movie] at the same time bends over backwards to stimulate it... the result is adrenaline-charged, but emotionally exhausting'."

07/02/2010 - Productivity Across Citadel Space Hit by "Nekyia Flu"
"Productivity is taking a hit across Citadel space as the so-called 'Nekyia flu' spreads. 'My company gave us the afternoon off', says Birili T'Lannas, a Thessian fan of the space epic. 'Half of us were dead tired after camping out last night, and the other half didn't come in today, so they gave up'. The sim is also proving popular on salarian worlds: 'Some friends went last night, and they won't stop quoting it', said Ijib Tar, a custodian at Mannovai's Itarus University. 'It's showing on all the simtables at our local theater, so the lineups won't be bad'. Even rear echelon soldiers on Garvug are getting a taste. 'They've earned a break', said Captain Andre Closson of Sonax Industries. 'Some of our troops have been waiting for this sim longer than they've been enlisted. It reminds people there's a bigger galaxy waiting for us. We screen it one hour at a time, though, on account of its length'."
