One of the games has been posted before, but Star Stories is hot off of the presses.

H'mm...the only real multimedia or animated angle is the menu system -- the content itself is pretty text heavy and static. There is a short animation of the Sun, but it features clumsy use of Trapcode's Particular using an all-too-familiar preset. A big round of "meh" from me...disappointed, because I was hoping this would be good item to work into a lesson plan for my homeschooled daughter (5.5 yrs). She's very interested in cosmology, but I think if I were simply to read the text to her I might as well use one of the books I already have on the shelf that at least feature lots of photographs. The menu's pseudo-parallax in response to to cursor movement was kind of neat, though.

Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't find the entry on Chris Farley anywhere.

Totally glossed over Proxima Centauri's oxycodone addiction and how it supported Enoch Powell in the 70's.
