Fallout 3 Trailer Online.

Fallout 3, the direct descendant of Wasteland by Ken St. Andre and Michael Stackpole is set for a Fall 2008 release. The powers that be at Bethesda Software are currently developing the game for use on multiple platforms (PC, PS3 and X-Box 360) and it will use the same truly excellent game engine that Oblivion uses. I can see that I will be burning up plenty of X-Box time on this one, (unless they make a Mac version. Then I'll be burning up the ol' iMac's processor!). Until then they have graced us with a teaser trailer and if it is any guide they're preserving the feel that made the Fallout franchise such a joy to play in. Enjoy!

It's Back!

After many years there has finally been a re-issue of the 70's Sci-Fi concept album, "The Intergalactic Touring Band". Hooray! I first purchased a copy of this LP (on vinyl) back when it was first released and have managed to keep it as an active part of my musical collection. Now IGTB is back in CD form, or available as an iTunes download. If you're a Sci-Fi fan and a music fan you're going to love this album. IGTB was an ensemble album that featured a LARGE number of talented performers. Meatloaf, Rod Argent, Larry Fast, "The Boss", Clarence Clemmons, Status Quo and many others appeared in varying capacities on this opus. After 30 years it still stands the test of time and holds up well, (especially when you factor in what passes for music these days).

It's hard to find any album that can withstand the test of time but. IGTB does so and does it well! Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy of this. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait to get my copy on CD after all these years and get rid of my self-digitized versions.
