The Perseid meteor shower with be on the 12-13th August this year.

Estimates are about 60 per hour.

Get to the darkest skies you can and for best viewing I recommend a sun lounger, a pillow and a towel (the dew can be a problem).

Happy sky watching...

I've been playing Fallout 3 on and off for about a year now, I think, If you like RPG games its got to be one of the best to date, at least in the top 5 IMHO.

One of the reasons I like it so much is that it's a game that can be modded or added to relatively easily and there are literally hundreds of free add-ons to keep you going.

So ive made this topic to list some sites that have goodies and info about the game and check out the videos I found on YouTube too, if you only see one of them make it the last one.


A good place to start is www.tweakguides.com for info on the game and optimisation tweaks.

HD Tweak
There is an HD graphics up-date that takes the environment quality up and also improves other graphics in the game; if you have a 1 GIG graphics card and a fast PC it might be worth a try.

Download the HD pack here:

QuoteA striking image showing the ghost of the Big Bang has been captured by a new space telescope.

The Planck satellite was launched by the European Space Agency in May 2009 to study the early universe.

It is designed to scan the sky with instruments sensitive to nine different bands of normally invisible microwave light.

Cool stuff

Yes that's right there is a free 3D game that can be downloaded from the BBC website (UK only I think) its called "Doctor Who The Adventure Game" so far there are two adventures to play, I've done both of them, the game is a little childish but its Doctor Who so to be expected, anyway it might be worth a go, it was ok and a little challenging with more adventures to come later.
