This is a two minute plus trailer for The Avengers. What’s rare about this trailer is that it doesn’t just feature Hulk but it’s got the Hulk in some pretty impressive scenes. I had thought, without spoilers, Black Widow’s tactic might have been to get the Hulk to chase her and then run in the […]

Aion: The battle between the Elyos and the Asmodians
Popular, action and team focused, online roleplaying game Aion went free to play in Europe yesterday. It seems to have been a popular event.

GAME cancels Mass Effect 3 pre-orders. Where else can you pre-order the N7 Collectors Edition?
Eurogamer has the worrying news that GAME will not be stocking Mass Effect 3. In fact, GAME will not be stocking any EA game beyond SSX. This is a blow for all UK Mass Effect fans. GAME was one of the few retailers in the UK that were taking pre-orders for the N7 Collectors Edition […]

Solar destruction or leap year correction?
Which would happen first? The solar destruction of the planet or enough leap year corrections to finally and accurately align the calendar? Sounds like a leading question? Yup. This video digs into what a leap year actually is, when they happen (not every 4 years) and why. Also, according to custom, February is when women […]

The current world record for the distance a paper airplane has travelled from a single, simple, throw was set by Stephen Kreiger in 2003. The paper airplane travelled 207 feet and 4 inches. In this video you’ll see Joe Ayoob throwing a plane (a John Collins design) 19 feet and 6 inches further than that. […]
Street Fighter… Monopoly
USApoly has some pretty cool Monopoly franchises on their books. They have Futurama Monopoly, Star Trek Klingon Monopoly and Risk Monopoly. That monopoly range is expanding. Capcom have confirmed that Street Fighter monopoly is on the way. Interested? There’s a problem. There are too many Street Fighter characters for the game designers to work with. […]
Dr Joan Watson
When CBS announced, right after the success of the BBC’s Sherlock, that they would be doing a modern day Sherlock series I suspected they might prove to be very similar.
