So, I've been RPing Shadowrun for a while now with usagivindaloo and company, and was just really getting comfortable with my character-a mystical, spirit-summoning dwarf-and working out a persona and motivation and backstory for him. So it actually stung quite a bit when he was unceremoniously turned into swiss cheese by machine-gun fire from an Armoured

I was just glad to see Max Headroom getting some regular work. I think he's in Eureka on the space channel now.

My condolenses. Good luck with the gumshoe...

Ya I remember Psi-Factor, man I enjoyed that one. What about Forever Knight?

Dude. I totally remember PSI Factor.

I can't find it now but Dan and I watched a "ultra low budget" DVD that Aykroyd helped out with which was kinda cool. I hadn't realized he was such a UFO buff though after watching any amount of PSI Factor, that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise...

I remember Psi Factor as well, although I'm not sure I ever watched an entire episode. But I did enjoy Millenium, even though it was a very dark show.

I mention Psi Factor, a show that I always assumed only I watched, and no less than three people reading the blog remember it too. It's things like this that make you know you've landed in the right group of friends. Cue sentimental sitcom music.

What I loved about Psi Factor was the way it managed to keep up the pretense of being a sober docudrama for about half a season before giving it up and bringing in Max Headroom and that drunk dude played by Michael Moriarty and turned it into a clearly fictional drama series. But kept the intros by Dan Ackroyd talking about UFOs and stuff.
