This is a must see video. It’s called the “Great Martian War” but this gamer took one look and immediately saw War of Worlds meets Achtung Cthulhu. The footage here comes from World War 1 footage… with, yeah, aliens added. It gets better. If you pop over to History.co.uk you’ll find more of the same. […]

A look inside: Adventure Time cartoon cards
Adventure Time – The Original Cartoon Title Cards is a new volume of quirky, brilliant and bizarre title cards. Not sure what a title card is?

Latest Arrow season 3 trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWQDZ4kbpgU Arrow season 3 is nearly out in the States. Kinda. It’s due on the CW on October 8th. We can hope it escapes to other territories shortly after that. I don’t suppose there are any surprises in this trailer. We see a little more of Ray Palmer and the expected Thea Queen training scene. […]
Netflix secures Gotham
Here I was worrying that Gotham would roll out on an American cable network and may never get any further than that. Warner Bros’s worldwide television department have announced a deal with Netflix that will take the series across the sea. From 2015, each season of the series will be made available to Netflix members […]
Magic or Science: A review of Karneval
Karneval wastes no time in getting going. As the anime opens there is a young man handcuffed to a bed and a lecherous noble woman astride him. Kinky? It would help if the noble woman wasn’t also a hideous monster who literally hungers for flesh. Thankfully for our innocent hero – “Get off, you’re heavy” […]

Pyscho-Pass is an anime about a future in which computers can read your mind and determine whether you are likely to commit a crime or not. It’s illegal just to have a state of mind in which puts you “at risk” of being a criminal. Geek Native gave the Blu-ray set a glowing review. It’s […]

You can play the game of trying to guess which sci-fi author has created worlds most similar to Psycho-Pass and award yourself bonus points if the characters in the anime agree with your assessment when they have the very same conversation. It might be tempting to describe Psycho-Pass as a utopian future as this is […]
Doctor Who: The Impossible Girl mystery – Who was the woman in the shop?
This post relates to a multi-series plot mystery in Doctor Who. It started in the last series in the episode called The Bells of St John. This was the episode in which the Doctor met Clara, again. If you’ve not seen Deep Breath, the first episode of Doctor Who season 8, then this post might […]
Phew! Good news for British geeks as Channel 4 renews Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Wouldn’t it suck if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continued in the form that the last few episodes of season 1 got up to and if no network in the UK picked up the show. It would surely do wonders for Netflix, BlinkBox or Amazon’s Instant Video membership. Good news, though, as free to watch Channel 4 […]
