https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637037674/lords-of-discord/ [Back this Campaign] Lords of War is a Kickstarter from Herocraft that looks to blend some RPG elements into a turn based strategy.

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #4 The Night Stalker
How’s this Night Stalker mask from fancydress.com? It’s got a feature called “Ani-motion” in it which means when you open your mouth, the mask also opens its mask and reveals some sharp teeth! The site swears it is comfortable to wear. I imagine if moving masks become more common we’ll have to get used to […]

Dealing with death through doppelgangers: Hal movie review
Hal is a movie about a robot who becomes human as part of an outlandish attempt at “robot therapy”. In this instance we’re dealing with someone who’s not been able to cope with the death of a loved one and has withdrawn from the world. The robot “Q01” doesn’t just become human – they become […]
What Does the Mech Say?
Based on “What does the Fox Say” by Ylvis (which I won’t try and explain; I’ll just let you search) is this MechWarrior Online paraody from Geoff Gerber and Owen Sartori. If you’re feeling brave and before you watch the video why not share in the comment box what you think the Mech will say? […]
Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu movie review
Steins;Gate began life as a visual novel in Japan. It’s one of those games where the ‘player’ gets to read through like a book, with pictures of the characters, and occasionally has a choice to make that effects what happens next. It’s useful to know that those “make a choice now” moments are represented in […]
