Short film: Retrofit
This film from the CGBros explores a near future in which technology allows us to have options after we die. Could we cope with that, though? Is it a good idea? Time for more? Click on this teleport link and you’ll load another randomly selected short video.
Fear the social media followers: A review of The Kill Screen
I looked at the first issue – ILOVEYOU – of The Kill Screen back in 2014 and really liked Mike Garley’s comic book project. This wasn’t a zombie end of the world. This was a weird apocalypse in which people had become infected by some weird digital virus. Those infected seem to manifest digital pixels […]
The DC logo and strange meerkat mystery
DC Entertainment has a new logo. It designed so DC Entertainment can relevant to multimedia formats *movies, cough* and not just comic books. The page turn effect is no longer there. We should see this new logo for DC Universe: Rebirth. Here’s what DC’s Chief Creative Officer had to say; “I’m very proud that REBIRTH […]
Geek in style: A review of Cross Marvel Tech2 Spider-Man pen
I was given some Green Lantern cufflinks as a gift and I still get a kick out of the secret geek they represent. It’s rare that I need to be suited and booted but when it happens I’m clearly out of my geeky comfort zone. Being able to smuggle in something that’s both classy and […]
Character illustrations for those who can’t draw: A review of ePic Character Generator
It’s frustrated for me for as long as I can remember; I can’t draw. I’ve been envious of friends with the talent to create little sketches of their roleplaying characters and NPCs. Needless to say I was interested when ePic Character Generator popped up on Steam for free. The software really is free. Yeah, of […]
This way to the Cthulhu library
Etsy boutqiue Gregs Home from Gregory Besson sells tentacled door handles. The octopus handles are hand mae in Paris and were created when Besson needed something for his boat. I think they have something of a steampunk feel to them but that’s probably the result of the brass powder used in the resin. The nice […]
Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook covers
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a name American readers might know from the NBA but as it happens Abdul-Jabbar is a Mycroft Holmes fan and back in 2015, with Anna Waterhouse, he published his first novel Mycroft Holmes. The story about Sherlock’s elder brother currently has 4.5 stars aggregate reviews over on Amazon UK. Now the polymath […]
Borderland’s Claptrap cosplay
Claptrap is a helpful (mostly) robot from Borderlands. He’s all wheel and arms. This design, originally by NoFlutter is very clever. Does it count as a Rule 63 cosplay? Worn by cosplayer Foxxi Loxxi this Claptrap manages to retain some of the weird grace/wobble that the game’s little robot helper had. Perhaps it’s those inliners. […]
Cybernetic ghosts: A review of Ghost in the Shell – The New Movie
“The New Movie” might not be a very original name for the Ghost in the Shell’s title but it the technique kinda works – promising more of the same. I think that approach works for Ghost in the Shell as The Force Awakens works for Star Wars. We’ve had some experimentation with prequels, Ghost in […]
