Diablo II

  • The SteamPunk Workshop has posted a video interview with Tim Sepe, Steampunk Artist.

Comics

  • For some mysterious reason, Jericho is going to return as a comic… you know, for all the CBS loyalists who read comics. Is it just me, or do those seem like incompatible demographics?

Film

  • It’s been announced the one of the best science fiction film franchises out there, the Chronicles of Riddick is about to become a trilogy, which, to my mind, is very good new.
  • Switched grades 10 Films That Would Flunk Science Class.
  • There may be a Dark City 2 in which the last film’s protagonist returns as a power-corrupted villain. It’s not the best news I’ve ever heard, but I would love to see more done in the Dark City setting.
  • Yes, the critiques are still pouring in a week later: VideoHound shares 8 Complaints about Watchmen That Are Hard to Dismiss

Internet

  • Hongkiat points the way to 20 Best Websites To Download Free EBooks, then twenty more.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Read “Wicked Lovely” by Melissa Marr online over at Harper.
  • Free Fiction: Tor has posted Spiritwalk by Charles de Lint (the 1992 sequel to Moonheart) for download.
  • Interview: Blogcritics has posted a video interview with Kim Harrison, author of White Witch, Black Curse.
  • SciFi Watch has posted a list of the Top 5 Post Cyberpunk Writers Writing Today, to which I would like to add Daniel Suarez, author of Daemon.

Television

  • Den of Geek asks what everyone is thinking: What has the Fox network got against its own sci-fi shows?

Video Games

  • Gameist reflects on 7 Reasons Why Video Games Are Better than Real Life.
  • IGN counts down 10 Games That Need More Zombies. I personally second the vote for SimCity to have a zombie incident built in. Someone could make some serious cash developing a post-apocalyptic SimCity game. More barricades! More barricades!
  • John Scalzi speculated on Why Video Game Movies Suck.
  • PSD Tuts has posted a gallery of the Top 40 Video Game Covers of All Time.
