Imagine the scene – you’ve absolutely no idea what to get your best friend’s wife for her birthday. Not an unlikely scene, no? You have to get her something. But what? Why not some awfully cute metal spiders from the ArtOfMetal? I think they’re too cute to fail!

I have a Dreamcast!
Is it wise to mix politics with retro-gaming? Who cares! This visual pun is destined to surface on blogs for the next ten years. In fact, this image comes via vodka and shame.
There are more cocks on ChatRoulette than Xbox Live (via @darthchix0r)
Gaming superstar Lisa Foiles bravely stepped into the Xbox Live spotlight for “Game with Fame”. It’s a Microsoft ploy that lets the great unwashed masses game with someone famous. You can imagine just how popular the Lisa Foiles event was going to be. Needless to say; Lisa (aka @darthchix0r) quickly hit the friend invite limit […]

J. Michael Straczynski created the hugely popular and amazing Babylon 5. Now he’ll be penning Superman and Wonder Woman comics for DC.

Not happy with how Final Fantasy XIII is being advertised in the UK? Blame OMD
Square Enix UK have engaged in a bit of agency shuffling prior to the promotion of Final Fantasy XIII this year. The account is worth 6 figures – that’s a lot of money to the agency involved. Square Enix had been with MJ Media but Eidos, which Square Enix bought last year, had been using […]
Happy toast is happy
Okay, okay – so the design of this prototype has been thoroughly bashed. Glass is a rubbish conductor of heat. The design notes from Xu Yan Xiang talk about an “electric-heating nano-membrane”, rather than glass, as a way to achieve the heat transfer but the experts have been bashing that as future-tech too. Not sure […]
