A round-up of geeky stories you might have missed...(1) Improve Your HEX Life: Exile Games Studio, publishers of the brilliant Hollow earth Expedition (HEX) roleplaying game, have just made their 2008 Free RPG Day product - a 'quickstart introduction and adventure for HEX' - available to everyone in the 'downloads' section of their website. Now there's no excuse for not having some HEX in your life!
(2) No Big Bang This Month: An electrical fault in CERN's $10 billion Large Hadron Collider means it will be out of action for two months, just weeks after it began operating.
(3) Whedon In The Woods: Filming on Joss Whedon's $30 million horror comedy Cabin In The Woods is due to commence in Febuary for an October 2009 release.
(4) Nooooooooooooooo! Watchmen isn't even out yet and there's talk of a sequel. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to be serious talk... but if it's left to the 'suits' then 'money talks' and we could eventually get the most unnecessary sequel of all time.
(5) New Guide For Hitchhikers: Popular children's author Eoin Colfer has been chosen to write the sixth installment of the late Douglas Adams' magnum opus, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It will be called And Another Thing...
(6) RTD Suggests New Doctor: Outgoing Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has suggested Russell Tovey (Midshipman Frame from the dreadful Voyage Of The Damned) as a possible replacement for The Doctor.
(7) Free Doc Savage: Nostalgia Town is so convinced you will be won over by the pulpy charms of Clark Savage Junior that they will give you a (random) free Doc Savage (or The Shadow) novel... if you ask nicely!
(8) Britain's Slowest Car Chase: Although not technically geeky, as an occasional mobility scooter user I felt I had to share this with you... dig the funky reconstruction!
(9) There's Orcs In The Webbe: The comprehensive fansite for "black powder fantasy" wargames, Orcs In The Webbe, is back with a new look. The site focuses on such games as Alternative Armies' Flintloque, Slaughterloo and Frontear.

2 persons have something to say about this!:
I notice that the "free" Doc Savage (or The Shadow) book does not include postage 'n' packaging. And that it's posted from the US and you have to phone for the shipping rates. Hmmm....?
No harm dropping them an email if you have a query - I've found them very friendly in the past.
