Fallout 3 Gives You the Glamorous Apocalypse
It's nearly dusk as you approach the abandoned supermarket, crouching behind a burned out hover-bus. You nearly make a mad dash to the entrance, dreaming of the food and medical supplies you might find inside. Then you notice the mutilated corpse chained up above the door. Raiders! Cautiously, you watch the parking lot...there they are. Heavily armed, too. You'll be able to loot the store if you want to, but there will be blood. In the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 3, nothing comes easy. More » -

The Scifi Obsession Of Dungeons and Dragons Creator Gary Gygax
Gary Gygax, co-inventor of Dungeons and Dragons, will probably be best remembered as the man who brought role playing games into the lives of millions of teenagers in the 1970s, and who helped spawn an entire industry.

He worked on several scifi games, as well as writing several science fiction stories.
