Wow, it's a long week already, isn't it? Ergo, today is all beepy boopy escapism.

Did you ever sympathize with the poor asteroids that were shattered to bits in the old Atari game? Asteroid's Revenge gives you a chance to get back at the mean spaceship!

The Asteroids spaceship is not listed among the ten best movie spaceships ever (probably because there was no movie involved). I don't remember a film called Explorers, though.

Kore Ja Nai Robo is a Mazinger-looking robot thingy that acts as a USB plugin. (I think they should make Dalek USB plugins that yell "exterminate!" every now and then, just to keep you on your toes.)

If you're near Amherst, Massachusetts this month, check out the exhibit called Science Fiction Art from the Golden Age, featuring the work of Hubert Rogers. Oooo, ahhhh.

If you prefer more analog fun, the 2006 Good Gift Games Guide is out!

Or you could put your name on toast. What? It's a viable option!
