July 17, 2007 by Dave

Maybe that’s part of the reason that Stargate SG-1 folded: to get Ben Browder and Claudia Black available again. According to SciFiWire, Farscape has been picked up as a ten episode web series. To quote the article: ” SCI FI Channel will revive its popular original show Farscape as a Web-based series of short films […]

Inq. of the Week: Gaming Awards?

July 9, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we tried to find out if any of you were as amused by some of the critiques of what we know of Fallout 3. The majority of people did not call me a moron, but only by a slim margin, as most of you picked that all the complains were reasonable. Second place […]
