Kind of a light week. Have fun!

photos from e for all Looks fun while it lasted.

E for all canceled early because of blackout.

The La convention center had to close early because of a power outage at the nintendo and Ea booths. Man those wii's must have been using to much electricity. Here for Kotaku's Report Man E for all was probably doomed from the start but this hurts them even more,.

See original Star Trek on the Big Screen

On Tuesday Nov 13th in 300 theatres across the country The original remastered for Hi Def Star Trek episode "The Menagerie" will be shown in theatres with digital projector capabilties. Anyone setting up some mini con type events around there showing? I think it's a pretty neat idea and I think Theatre owners should be more open to these type of off beat things to get people back into the cinema. Anyway complete details and a listing for cities participating can be found at Fathom Events

Free Xbox Live Arcade game.
