Here's an update on the upcoming Shout! Factory release of My So Called Life, scheduled for October 30th. Some of the juicy details revealed:

• "Four featurettes, covering character profiles and behind-the-scenes activities, also are in production."
• "Commentaries and interviews with creator Winnie Holzman and executive producers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz."
• "MSCL stars Claire Danes and Jared Leto are being approached to participate as well, with Leto appearing the most likely to come on board."
• "...Lorrie Shapiro, Shout! VP of DVD and video production, has been reaching out to fan Web site www.mscl.com for input on the content. Of the planned extras, Shapiro is especially excited about including a note detailing Holzman’s plot ideas for a never-realized second season of the show. That and other script elements, including first drafts of the pilot, might be featured as downloads that people can access through a DVD-ROM Web link."

I'm still puzzled over the fact that Claire Daines continues to distance herself from the show. She has proven herself as a successful screen actress. Here's hoping she'll come to her senses and participate in this release, which I'm very excited about.

Despite the commercial during the load screen, this is a really fun tower defense game from the maker of the fantastic Flash Element TD. It's a lot like Desktop Tower Defense but with a more futuristic slant and you don't really have to make your own maze, there are walls already in place. You can choose from a wide variety of mazes and difficulties.
