  • 403: Showrunner! The Home Game

    Cut and Print: In yet another testament to the very strange way in which your host’s brain works, enjoy this introduction to Showrunner!: The Home Game – also known as outlining a nonexistent season of TV without actually writing out the episodes, or window shopping at the idea store. Also: what I’ve been reading, some…

Today's Sci-Fi 5

  • Alien from L.A. - February 26, 1988

    Listen to Alien from L.A. - February 26, 1988 Alien from L.A. may have had a lot working against it when it premiered on February 26, 1988 - an inexperienced director and star, a low budget and a laughable script. It found a new audience through MST3K, though, and it even has a sequel... of sorts. Subscribe to Sci-Fi 5 for a daily dose…

Latest from the ‘tube

Was Q*Bert too easy? Apparently its creators thought so, and they prepared a little something for players who were too good at the original. 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. Check out my other projects and podcasts: eBooks "VWORP!1", "VWORP!2", "WARP!1" and "Fatherhood, Fandom, And Fading Out" available at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/ and at Amazon! Select Game: Expanded Memories of the Odyssey2 podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/selectgame/ Retrogram podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/retrogram/ Don't Give This Tape To Earl podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/thistape/ theLogBook.com's Escape Pod daily mini-podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/podcast/ And, of course, the site that started it all, combining sci-fi, retro video games, book, music and toy reviews, and all sorts of retro-futurist fun: http://www.thelogbook.com All of the above podcasts are available on iTunes and Stitcher.

  • Retrogram #7636: Things To Watch While Landing On Mars

    The week of August 29th, 1976: Let’s say you’re heading for a landing on Mars, getting ready to do science stuff.  You’re probably not thinking about the fact that you’re going to miss shows about alien men escaping the yoke of female oppression, treacherous shape-shifters, and big Helix energy.  It’s a good thing Retrogram is…

  • 501: A New Look For The Odyssey2?

    Clothes maketh the game: The black background. The vanishing point logo with its very, very seventies font. The Helvetica lettering. Could anything ever replace the classic look of vintage Odyssey2 packaging? Should anyone even try to come up with a new look? Hear from someone who tried, but apparently didn’t stick the landing. (10:25) Right-click…
