• The official Tron Legacy trailer is finally out. A blurry bootleg was floating around since last year\’s Comic Con, but now you can see it in HD.

  • If for some reason you need to land your lunar module and your guidance computer is broken, you can build another one for just $3000. A Lockheed Martin software engineer built a replica Apollo Guidance Computer and his manuals are available online. I\’m gonna build one and show it to the Russians just to rub their faces in it. \”Hey Ivan, how many comrades have you landed on the moon?\”

  • The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition was released yesterday. It\’s available on Steam for just $9.99. The new artwork looks fantastic, faithful to the original while still adding new elements. Guybrush has a weird haircut though. The hot-switching between new and old versions is seamless, and you even get the original music too. I hope they do LeChuck\’s Revenge next.

  • A Bolivian Newscast was duped into showing scenes from Lost as flight 447\’s last moments. Great job checking your sources Woodward and Bernstein!

  • Ron Gilbert talks about the new Monkey Island games on his blogs. He also re-played the original and shares some interesting facts about it. Heh heh, he was stumped by one of his own puzzles.

  • Along with the Monkey Island remake, Lucasarts also announced Tales of Monkey Island, a new 5-part episodic game. It\’s made by a different game studio though, so we\’ll see how good this one is.
