Stargate Atlantis Season 3 Episode 4 (and Star Wars 40th anniversary.)
Stargate Atlantis Season 3 Episode 4: What a fantastic episode!
Stargate Atlantis seems to be the most fun of all the Stargate series, but I thought that Season 2 was a little slow. Season 3 seems has gotten off to a great start.
This is actually my third time through the series, but it has been a few years, so I don't remember all the details. When you have a series this entertaining, it is worth seeing again.
Star Wars is approaching its 40th anniversary next month. What other movie has such a serious social impact 40 years after its release?
How many times have I seen the original Star Wars? My guess is 18 times. Maybe five times in the first couple of years. How did I arrive at the number 18? I don't know. I have been sort of keeping a running count, but maybe I have overestimated. Maybe not.
Star Wars helped give rise the video game industry. In the years after its release, there were an explosion of "space" video games. In the late 70's, I was playing a space game called "Tail Gunner", which has to be the first 3D shoot-em-up. For its time, it was amazing.
If Star Wars helped shape the video game industry, then the video game industry helped shape me. I was already interested in computers in the 1970's, but because of my interest in video games, I was writing and selling games by the mid 80's. Eventually, I was employed at a major video game development company working on all sorts of games.
