Orbiter – A free space flight simulator

Orbiter I like a game that tells you to crack open the books so you can understand enough to play.

ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth’s atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system – the choice is yours. But make no mistake – ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background.

The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello

Shadow lands‘The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello’ is a fantastic view into a Victorian inspired world of airships and gears. This is the first installment in a series of three short films, all to be set in the same Steampunk like universe.

The First Voyage – Jasper Morello and the Lost Airship

This Being the First Voyage of Jasper Morello, Aeronaut of the 3rd Royal Cartographers, and his Journal Recording of the Mysterous Predicament Involving the Lost Airship, Hieronymous.

Set in a world of iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, this gothic horror mystery tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his Plague-ridden home on a desperate voyage to redeem himself. The chance discovery of an abandoned dirigible leads Jasper through unchartered waters to an island on which lives a terrifying creature that may be the cure for the Plague. The journey back to civilization is filled with horrors but in a shocking climax, Jasper discovers that the greatest horror of all lies within man himself.

CRACKED Back At It Again

Cracked

I was never a big fan of Cracked magazine. My brother liked reading it more than I did, I was mostly a Mad Magazine boy. It had it’s funny bits but it always seemed that it was trying to keep up with Mad. Well after a two year break, the old magazine has been re-born. So goodbye to the hand drawn black and white comics, hello to slick color pages and a layout like FHM and Stuff. I’m looking forward to reading the first issue in the new format, I want to see if the humor is still there.
