Media Archeology Newsletter Week 31: Star Trek First Contact This Thursday at 7:00p.m.!

Hello all!

We hope you’ve been doing well! This week we have something fun planned for you all. 😉 

Movie Screening This Thursday 

We are once again collaborating with the Games and Media Library to host a laser disc movie screening! Join us this Thursday at 7p.m. in room ATC 3.705 to experience the wonders of Star Trek: First Contact. As always, we do require your Comet Card for check-in, so don’t forget to bring it with you! 

Demo of the Week

The demo of the week is Grand Theft Auto on the Dell PC! 

Make sure to stop by the lab and wreak havoc in this infamous classic! 

Object of the Week

The object of the week is the Hollowed-Out iMac G3! 

This corpse of an iMac G3 looms on the shelf by the lab’s entrance. Be careful of where you search, because you may find its gory innards, infested with plastic toy spiders left over from Halloween, splayed out nearby. 

Littered inside of this husk are spare stickers and pins we have created for various events. If any of them catch your interest while you are visiting, you are free to take and keep some.
