The Links Topic

[tesco samoa]

Over the Past year I have noticed many a good link from this Forum to sites worthy of bookmarking. The only problem is that they get lost as the days waste away.


I would like to set up this topic with the one purpose of becoming a libary for those places on the Internet that we find interesting. Examples would be science fiction and history sites.

Also some rules should be placed.
1. Name of website
2. link
3. write a description of the link

Just about every Voyager episode I've seen could have been improved by cutting it to 5 minutes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

edit: poking around on that site I also found THIS (http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/videogames/megaman.html) hilarious work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Here is a great sight..

The Five Minute Voyager

http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/

This site is dedicated to ruducing 'program episodes' to short 5 min stories. The stories are infused with an abundance of humor and are great fun to read. The site also has other sci-fi programs that get the 5-min treatment.

Enjoy! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Starship Dimensions

http://www.merzo.net/index.html

This site has pictures of all sorts of starships drawn to scale, so you can easily see the size comparisons. There are ships from Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, and many others, as well as some real-live vehicles and buildings as reference. The ships can be dragged around on the screen. There are screens with scales 10 pixels per meter, 1 pixel per meter, 2 meters per pixel, 10 meters per pixel, 100 meters per pixel, and 2000 meters per pixel.

Thank you, Atrocities, for posting this site a couple of months ago. We had a lot of fun with it. It takes your name and turns it into an acronym for a cyborg.
