Jack Campbell’s The Lost Fleet series packs serious geek cred. It’s been recommended to me again and again. Titan are now bringing the series to the UK, starting with the release of Dauntless, Fearless and Courageous, then publishing more every month until we reach Victorious and the planned sequel series Beyond the Frontier. The spin-off […]
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan told in 60 seconds with puppets
Khaaaan! If you need to remind yourself or quickly sum up The Wrath of Khan to someone who’s been living in a cave for the last twenty years then this animation should, in a pinch, work well for you. Hand-made puppets ooze DIY appeal. I don’t think it matters how the animation actually works out… […]
Duke Nukem does IPv4
We ran out of IPv4 addresses on Tuesday. We’re remaining blocks of space have been assigned by IANA. The internet will just have to get IPv6 to work. Hopefully there won’t be even so much as a burp. Some people are taking this more seriously than others. Duke Nukem is among those who are really […]
Alternative Star Wars is sexy and tattooed
The photographs in this blog post are a collection from Robin Cook. These are just a sample, just enough to tempt you to go check out his blog and admire the rest. Interestingly, he calls these “Part 1”. Still not a fan of tattoos.
Mini Squishable Cthulhu and friends
I’m a fan of Squishable. I had one sent all the way from the States to Scotland. There’s now a full sized squishable baby panda in the flat. It’s very squishable. It’s also very big. I can see why Squishable have started to do mini squishables. Which three Squishables got the mini treatment first? Why, […]

This post contains some exclusive photos just released to press within the last few hours. This is a limited edition statue. There will only be 2,500 of these models made.

The great Cthulhusaurus Rex
Some ancient creatures are scarier and rather more cool than others. Some of the most cool and scary creatures are not well known to science, not even to paleontologists. One such creature is the Cuthulhusaurus Rex. You could well say that the Cthulhusaurus Rex has its origins in the internet as it was discovered by […]
Lego Star Wars movie: Black Stormtrooper
Donald Faison plays Turk in Scrubs. I think he’s in Skyline too. Turns out he’s a bit a geek, perhaps even a geek native, at the very least he’s a Star Wars fan. Faison wrote, directed, edited and, get this, animated this entire Lego Star Wars movie. It’s nearly 3 minutes long. In it the […]
Uniqlo launch Naruto t-shirt range
Can’t say I normally investigate the Uniqlo website but today Manga UK are running a quick competition to win a Naruto t-shirt from them. Turns out that their new Naruto t-shirt range is pretty funky. I’ve grabbed about half of the total to highlight some of my favourites. Hopefully they’ll do some more anime ranges. […]

The BBC have licensed a battery powered, 128cm tall dalek that drives around, blinks with lights and makes 10 dalek sounds. Who has […]
