It’s a rainy afternoon in Edinburgh and the daleks are out and about. Fear not, brave traveller, these daleks are not bent on destroying the world – they’re trying to save it. Let’s hope this imaginative, if somewhat shapeless, dalek costume is original enough to help this charity worker collect a few more pennies.
Holy Cow! Gundam in Excel
Ok, ok… so this video might have been out for ages but I’ve only just seen it. I’m already jealous of people with artistic skill. I’m jealous of people who can get Excel to do what they want, quickly and without a data loosing crash. You can imagine how jealous I am of the artistic […]
Borg cupcakes: Permission to cup your cakes, ma’am.
What can you say about Borg cupcakes? Turns out Reddit readers had plenty to say; “We are the Cupcakes. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

King of Fighters: Vanessa model
Sideshow have a rather stunning collectible figure of the ever-popular Vanessa. Borrowing from the site’s description of the piece I can say; Standing approximately 12″ high, this tough female fighter poses in a provocative, removable outfit. Oh my!

I think I may use this video in presentations.
Neil Gaiman will write for Doctor Who
Neil Gaiman has confirmed to SFX that he’ll be penning an episode for the second Matt Smith season of Doctor Who. He sent them this message, which is crystal clear; Over the years SFX, and its readers and their votes in the polls, have always been very kind to me. I thought I’d return the […]
Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below
The Doctor Who magazine subscription has revealed the first couple of 11th Doctor Eposides (do we like the phrase “New Who”?). The first two are helmed by Steven Moffat himself; “The Eleventh Hour” and “The Beast Below”. I think The Eleventh Hour is an interesting twist. We may be beyond some of the early suggestions […]
Supernatural’s Ghostfacers get web spinoff series
A new blog on my radar is a Body of a Geek Goddess. Catchy title, huh? Ms Goddess highlights the news that the Ghostfacers supernatural investigators who’ve appeared on more than one Supernatural episode will be getting their own short series on the web. Geek Goddess observes that this might not. It might not work […]
Darabont’s Walking Dead
Lots of geeky sites happy with today’s news that Frank Darabont has been giving the go-ahead to film a pilot episode of The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is a well respected comic from Robert Kirkman. It’s one of those smart zombie page-turns that focuses on the human challenges rather than the pesky not-dead-enough bodies. […]
