Once again we find that the Wampa is not the murderous beast that some people claim it is. Think back to this cute baby wampa or this rare wampa rug for previous examples. Okay, the rug is a little scary; and the slave Leia provoked some debates too. Anyway, lets pop over to Etsy and […]

Sega give away free Rise of Nightmares comic
Back in June we published a rather weird video from Sega called Rise of Nightmares. It’s a horror survival game with plenty of WTF. In order to promote the game they teamed up author Al Ewing and artist Marc Olivent to put together a free comic for it. It shows the side story of Private […]
Lazy Halloween costume of power: Boba Fett Hoodie
How’s this for an easy way to summon up a Halloween costume with very limited work? Just get a hoodie in the style of your favourite Star Wars anti-hero. Behold! The Boba Fett hoodie! In fact, Halloween? Who needs that. Surely the hoodie is good enough for every day wear? This can be worn to […]
Dungeon Master Gurls
I missed this last year. I’ve two theories as to how that managed to happen. Theory 1: I reached California Gurls parody overload. In a defensive move my brain developed a way to ignore anything that mentioned Katy Perry, California Gurls and perhaps even the word “parody” on Youtube. Theory 2: I was distracted by […]
An interview with Kevin J Anderson
A new edition of Captain Nemo: The Fantastic Adventures of a Dark Genius out and available to buy thanks to Titan Books and popular sci-fi Kevin J Anderson. Over on his blog, Kevin noted that this edition uses his preferred text. This blogger was once told that Jules Verne had a special fondness from Scotland […]
How do you get the Rage: Anarchy edition?
The Anarchy edition of Rage is available to anyone who pre-orders it. It’s a special edition in that not everyone will have it and that it has extra content. It’s not a special edition in the sense that you need to pay any more for it. If you pre-order Rage then you’ll get one extra […]
Spinal Tap, er, Spinal Tape!
This is Sparta Spinal Tape. It looks cool and funky. This will surely sell like hot cakes come Halloween and I think of a geek or three who would appreciate this. Amazon says this is “Tachion packing tape”. Confusion! What is that? It’s not “Tachyon packing tape” – although that would be impressive; time tape. […]
Ghostbusting? There’s an app for that.
An app for ghostbusting? There actually is an app for detecting ghosts, believe it or not. This decal for your iPhone goes further, though, and turns your entire phone into a ghost collection and containment system. Fine, yeah, okay… so it’s just a decal but would your average ghost want to take the risk? They’ll […]
Halloween costume of class: A female Snape’s coat
Hurray for Snape. No, really, hurray for Snape. Let’s face it; you might not be able to dress up as Snape for Halloween but I bet you know a sexy geek who might be able to! Let’s take a minute to ponder this “Female Snape Coat” from Evening Arwen. Sure; there are problems. There can’t […]
The insane Moloch: cute and horrible
This series is somewhat inspired by the poem “Howl” by A. Ginsberg. It’s about the dark side of capitalism and the dangers of conformity in the United States. Even with lyrics like this – I got to admit, these Molochs do have their cute side! What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls […]
