Stargate Slot Machines?
April 11th, 2008 Filed Under Misc News
It’s a weird one, but it appears the juggernaut that is the Stargate franchise is branching out yet again. To, erm, slot machines! Sure we’ve seen movie based slot machines, but am I the only one thinking that this is a very weird move. It’s not as if you got to casinos or game arcades looking for a Stargate slot machine. And I’m sure people won’t see a Stargate slot machine and think, I’ll watch that now!
A very strange move, but hey, Stargate is probably seen as a big sci-fi franchise, much like Star Trek.

Greatest MacGyvers of Science Fiction
April 8th, 2008 Filed Under Misc News
A nice fun article from io9 which gives a list of science fiction’s greatest MacGyver’s. I’ve picked this one out not just because of my love of MacGyver but they do mention something else Stargate! It’s Stargate: Atlantis and they’ve picked out Rodney McKay as one of the greatest MacGyver’s of science fiction. Personally I would have gone for Sam Carter, but hey!
Rodney McKay famously asks “What am I, MacGyver?” in this spin-off from the Richard Dean Anderson-starring Stargate SG1. But he actually does work technological marvels at regular intervals, making sense of Ancient technology. He built an atomic bomb for his sixth-grade science project. Not to mention, in “Condemned,” he totally one-ups Scotty when he says it’ll take two days to cobble together a new “Dial-Home Device” from secondary systems… and then downgrades that estimate to ten minutes in a pinch.

Stargate Found
January 22nd, 2008 Filed Under Misc News
Someone has found an actual Stargate in a scrapyard. I kid you not, see for yourself. Looks to be a dumped prop, but a good read with some great pictures!
