How many times have you heard a GM tell a player they couldn’t have such’n’such a weapon because it wasn’t realistic? I suspect a taser sword might fall into that category; even for some near future sci-fi games. After all, how would you persuade the taser to release its energy down the sword evenly and […]
Team Unicorn and “For the Win”
This is Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget, meets Mad Max, meets barbarian bikini chic and with a dose of cosplay con thrown in for good measure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NarbqFTrXbE Yup! Lots of famous geeks in here; Grant Imahara (Mythbusters), Ashley Holliday (Hollywood Heights), Aisha Tyler (Archer,24) and even the mighty “Weird Al” Yankovic. The video was directed […]

Star Wars monsters aren’t so scary when plushy
This collection of not-so-fierce monsters come from the Big Bad Toy Store. They’re all recognisable; tauntauns, banthas, wampas and even a rancor monster. It’s not usual to see a rancor monster in plush form.
The London Super Comic Con cosplay music video
This is an excellent cosplay roundup from Sneaky Zebra. I wonder who invented this format – little snips of as much of the cosplay in any convention set to an upbeat tune. It works so well and I imagine helps encourage others into the hobby. It’s also good to see British cosplays stepping up to […]
Yohanes Sanjaya’s pet LEGO AT-AT
Do go check out Yohanes Sanjaya’s Flickr gallery. The photographer has an eye for perfection and his collection is a geeky delight of Star Wars and LEGO. The sample photographs below, picked to illustrate the whole collection, follow one Stormstrooper and his LEGO AT-AT, um, pet.
Fraggles in Middle Earth
Did you notice Fraggles from Fraggle Rock in the first Hobbit film? No? Perhaps it’s a case of looking carefully. Fraggles are, after all, very hard to spot. These two clever, cheeky but also very talented pictures come from the deviant artist
Sir R2D2, Gentleman explorer
This is a quirky t-shirt from Superhero Stuff. Yes, this does seem to be R2D2 wearing a tiny top hat, monocle and sporting quite a tash. I like to think of this R2 as being a bit of a gentleman explorer, bravely and politely, trekking across deserts in search of ancient treasures and mysteries.
