This pinged my radar because of big discounts Entertainment Earth but on this exclusive model. They call it an “exciting warehouse find” and it is supposed to be the only collectible figure of the monster from the 2008 Cloverfield movie. This is an electronic figure that makes roaring sounds, comes with swappable heads and includes […]
Aliens on Ice
I think this proves there is life in the franchise yet. I’m talking about Alien and Aliens but not Prometheus. If you’re not tracking then Prometheus is the “yes it is” and “no it is not” Alien prequel. This video, however, is clearly Aliens. It’s Aliens on Ice.
The Millennium Falcon in LEGO… no, the Lightning McFalcon in LEGO
We’ve seen some impressive LEGO Star Wars constructions that are truly speculator. They’re all good. This one is a little different. It’s not quite a LEGO MIllennium Falcon although you’ll recognise the shape. What we have here is the Lightning McFalcon. A LEGO mashup of Disney’s Cars and Star Wars.

Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Transformer Prime
The Transformer Prime is a very tasty looking Android tablet from ASUS. It’s expected to ship in December. I suspect the Christmas rush might even sell it out. It’s a remarkable bit of kit in that it may look like a small laptop until you lift it up from its docking station keyword in which […]

How do you screen grab from a Xbox 360?
Are you a PC gamer or a console gamer? My choice of platform is strongly connected to the type of game. However, in one aspect PC games have the advantage – they’re far easier to take screen grabs from. If you’re trying to review a game then your life is made much easier if you […]
Skyrim LEGO god or cheating backsturd?
I can’t decide whether this is fair play or cheating. After all; no software hacking was involved. Now, bare with me as I’m yet to get my hands on Skyrim so I might slip on the details but the premise is this – the more you practise your healing, the better you get at it. […]
Are you any good at spotting the green screen?
Sometimes when you watch a movie or a TV series it seems pretty easy to spot the green screen. Sometimes it’s because the background is dodgy. Sometimes you can pick up a faint halo around the actors. This video might challenge your perceptions of the green screen (or blue; depending on the situation). In fact, […]

Here’s a cute option for any Doctor Who fan. A 4 inch tall resin figure of the Doctor’s faithful robotic dog companion. K9 may be best known in classic Who but he has featured in new Who so there should be no excuse. This little model comes from Entertainment Earth but I doubt they have […]
