Syfy (the names the Americans gave to the Sci Fi channel) has released the latest trailer for the forthcoming Stargate Universe series. What’s notable, perhaps, about this trailer is that they take the emphasis of the same sex-on-same sex snogging and the angst and return to the action sequences. Remember; they’ll deny this is a […]

Where the Wild Things Are cupcakes
I’m one of the millions of boys who loved the Where the Wild Things Are book. I’ve not seen the movie yet and I’m not sure about it. Does it really convert into a movie? What I am sure about is that these cakes look a) cool and b) tasty! Nom! Thanks to pals reading […]
Sharky tea – not shark fin soup
Shark fin soup is bad. We all know this… but what about this team from Looks Like Good Design? I certainly think it would be an impressive way to serve the tea when you had friends around. My main concern is that the water would be too cool by the time the tea was strong […]
Free to download: Darwin’s World comic
Back in the GameWyrd days RPGObjects were on a roll and their flagship product was Darwin’s World. I’m pleased to see that they’re still going strong. Darwin’s World was a post apocalyptic d20 RPG. Imagine Mad Max but then through in some high tech options too. You might get lucky one day by finding some […]
God of War Collection

Disney to buy Marvel for $4B
Can you imagine The Punisher as a Disney character? You had better start trying as reports today suggest that Disney have bought Marvel for $4b in cash and stock. Disney will not just be chasing characters like the X-Men, Spider-man and Iron Man but the comic company which has shown it can go alone (Iron […]
New handheld video camera concept from Whipsaw
I’m tempted by a Flip camera. The idea of having something small enough to pop into my regularly used travel bag and pull out just when I need to is appealing. It would be a great way to start to produce video content for this and many other sites. Then there’s the iPhone S3G debate. […]
Big chap alien
What can you say about this collectable from Hot Toys?. Due out in the last quarter of 2009 this 8 inch vinyl alien figure was designed by James Khoo. It may not look it but limited movements are possible.
Strait Jacket review
Strait Jacket is an anime that has a lot of promise but which fails to make good. Set in an alternative history we have a world where they discovered magic and have begun to harness it. It’s 1899 but we have cars, machine guns and great medical science. Magic, however, comes with a terrible price. […]
