Daily Video Clip

Today's first new video clip is
the first trailer for the upcoming fan film entitled "Sidewalk Wars." Leo from
the crew was kind enough to let me know about their cool new project that will
be releasing soon. A small band of rebels struggle to protect a precious
artifact from the hands of the evil Galactic Empire, neither side understanding
it's true power and purpose. Be sure to learn more about this film at www.sidewalkwars.com. The special effects look
really great and I am sure this film will be on my list of top fan films. I hope
that when the film is released we will be able to host the film in our Fan Films
Section. Enjoy!

Possible Update
Changes At Galactic Voyage |
There may be some serious changes
in the amount of updates moving forward at Galactic Voyage. I was recently
"downsized" at work, but have been able to secure a lesser position with the
same company. To that end, I will have to travel several times the next few
months to learn a new job which may result in little or no updates.
However, the plan is to try to keep everything normal from the road. As more
information becomes clear about my new job role and responsibilities, the more I
can determine if the lack of updates will be more of a permanent situation. The
plan is to keep things running as smooth as possible moving forward, but the
reality is that things may change. If they do, I will make decisions based on
those new realities and will keep you all informed. Thank you for your
understanding.
