I backed the Tabletop Forge Kickstarter at a level where the pledge reward included a custom token. Tabletop Forge is an impressive Google+ Hangouts app for roleplayers. It allows gamers to have the tabletop gaming experience without actually all being at the same tabletop. Google+ Hangouts provide the impressive video functions and the Tabletop Forge […]
Anime on Demand cancels payments
I subscribe to Anime on Demand. It’s a chance to watch legally streamed anime online and access shows I would never otherwise have access too. It’s a great deal for Viz Media as I only tend to access the service when I’m staying overnight in a hotel for business travel. If they have enough subscribers […]
Hungry Hungry Koopas
Take a fantastic game, a game that requires skill, intelligence and maturity – a game like Hungry Hungry Hippos – and challenge yourself to make it better. That’s exactly the challenge Donald Kennedy rose to. The toy maker dabbles in making iconic video game characters come to life as models. It’s a skill he has […]
Doctor Who’s Matt Smith goes to London Comic Con
MCM London Comic Con took a huge leap forward to certain success today when organisers were able to announce that Matt Smith, the eleventh Doctor, would be attending. Matt Smith will join a panel discussion with Caroline Skinner, Executive Producer for Doctor Who, at the MCM Theatre. The panel discussion will also be available online […]
Picture this… a bad idea
Some wonderful art from Nebezial. Have you done this? Not sneak up behind the Joker while he’s tinkered with a bomb – but recognised the situation, failed to register it entirely and go ahead with your original idea? Bad idea.
The most dangerous unboxing ever
Some people may have grown tired of unboxing videos. I understand why. That said; someone can always build a better box. Combine that mysterious box with the fact that it was sent to Valve, the makers of some wonderful computer games, and suddenly the unboxing gets interesting again. Could this be an unboxing for science, […]
A review of Firefly – A Celebration (Anniversary Edition)
This is a beautiful beast of a book. It’s huge. There are 544 pages, in colour, in a hardback that just oozes quality. Right now, Amazon is accepting pre-orders and the book is due out at the end of September in the UK and the beginning of October in the US. That timing is important […]
Hellboy’s Golden Army in LEGO
Fan of the Hellboy comics and movies? I thought Hellboy II was visually stunning and the Golden Army robots certainly played a huge part in that. These Golden Army constructs have been crafted, out of LEGO, by Robot H (aka Robiwan Kenobi) and are just as impressive. Robert is a professional industrial designer from Germany, […]
Happy Hobbit Day
Today is Hobbit Day. Bilbo and Frodo share a birthday – but different years. Both Hobbits were born on September 22, with Bilbo born in 2890 and Frodo in 2968 in the Third Age. Hobbit Day parties are the appropriate way to celebrate. This means food, fun and friends. A worthy celebration.
Karthos the garden wyvern
Karthos is an impressive beast of copper and brass. He is about 33 inches high, 20 inches deep and has a large 46 inch wingspan. His teeth are made from old brass screws. As a garden wyvern he has no finish on his metal and so, should you choose to, if left outside then he’ll […]
