Anime version of Dante’s Inferno
EA have teamed up with Starz Media’s Film Roman to do an anime version of Dante Alighieri‘s famous poem “Dante’s Inferno”. I’d hope to enjoy this.

The fantastic Banzai Effect has provided some first class coverage of the AFA ’09 Regional Cosplay Championship. There’s a great collection of photographs of some pretty impressive costumes.

People against dirty – we’re shiny suds
I like good adverts almost as much as I dislike bad ads. I may work in marketing but I don’t work in TV marketing and so I’m still free to say “cool” without any bias. “Cool!” This shiny suds ad is a must view for almost everyone and there’s People Against Dirty for any American […]
