Remember the original Doom? If you're after some nostalgia, it's available as a free download from here. It was released by id Software in 1993 and played on the Windows 95 platform with the minimum requirements being an 80486 CPU, 50 MHz, 8 MB RAM. Doom was a ground-breaking first-person shooting game - meaning that players see the world through the eyes of the character they are playing - and it has become a classic, spawning other popular FPS games such as Quake, Unreal and Castle Wolfenstein.

Battlestar Galactica has been renewed for a second season, following on from the first season of 13 episodes (plus the mini-series).

Creator and executive producer Ronald D. Moore says he wants to "delve deeper into the show's religious themes and open up the Cylon world a bit more in the coming season."

Trek United, the fan fund-raising campaign to save Star Trek: Enterprise still holds some hope that the nearly US$3.14 million in pledges and contributions they have raised to fund a fifth season will be put to good use, despite Paramount representatives saying that their decision is final. The donors will get their money back (minus 5% handling fee) if the show remains cancelled.

Apparently in the final episode, Brent Spiner speaks four lines of off screen dialogue, written by him.

This LOTR documentary has a difference - it's made by fans who raised money to finance the film. Called "Ringers: Lord of the Fans", film-makers Carlene Cordova and Cliff Broadway look at the influence the works of J.R.R. Tolkien have had on popular culture. Their interviews include Peter Jackson, cast members, and fans of the LOTR story. It is narrated by Dominic Monaghan, who played Merry in the movies.

It has been shown at the film festival Slamdance, but is still seeking a distributor. See http://www.theonering.net/ringers/ for more information.
