Latest Sci-Fi 5

  • Contagious - January 22, 1997

    Listen to Contagious - January 22, 1997 Back in 1997, a TV movie was trying to warn us about the dangers of a deadly infection as well as ordering seafood on an airplane. Throw in a drug-dealer subplot plus the star power of Lindsay Wagner and Tom Wopat and you've got Contagious - premiering January 22, 1997. Get your Sci-Fi 5, five…

Oh, but we do need another H.E.R.O. - part man, part helicopter, prone to being killed by touching bats, and still all awesome.

Phosphor Dot Fossils ( http://www.thelogbook.com/phosphor/ ) is one of the web's oldest archives of vintage console, computer, and arcade games; there was also a 2-DVD documentary of the same name, covering the early history of video games, produced in 2008 and 2009 (now available for download at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/ ).  And these days?  PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video.
