The Scientific Gamer

You know what the best adaptation of War of the Worlds is? It’s not the godawful 2005 Tom Cruise vehicle, nor is it the slightly more acceptable cheesy 50s b-movie. No, it’s the musical by Jeff Wayne. Combine the chocolate tones of Richard Burton as narrator and an experimental soundtrack that isn’t always easy listening but which is consistently fascinating, and you get something like this. And this. Not to mention this.
