From the land of Geek
TweetGoogle’s new Priority Inbox is digging up age old starred emails. It’s surfaced a campaign I tried to start in 2005 at GameWyrd. This was an anti-pirate campaign. A pro-RPG industry campaign. Back in 2005 – and today as well – I was upset at the number of authors who’d write a fantastic product for [...]

TweetCan’t get enough of the sci-fi musicals we’ve been treating ourselves too? No? Good! Yes? Too bad! Stepping up to the microphone next are those tiny little creatures that many Star Wars fans like to pretend were never mentioned. That’s right: the midichlorians. They’ve been joined on the karaoke by the legendary Queen who have [...]

TweetWe first visited Spiritgreen and his designed with the D&D inspired Twenty O’clock t-shirt that reigned on Teefury for a day. Now we’ve got a second design; just a geek, over on woot (and thankfully for more than a day) with Error: Cuteness overflow. The editors choice badge you’ll see there means it featured on [...]

TweetWhat do you think of the rebranding from the Sci-Fi channel to the SyFy channel? I hear some grumbles.

TweetThese are so cool. Is this New York? The subway vents are certainly one of my memories of New York – that and the steam that blows from tubes stuck in the ground. Steam is impressive. Monsters that appear from the trash are even better. I think Joshua Allen Harris’ deserves extra kudos for essentially [...]

TweetThe rocket jump is a must watch movie. Once again we can see how knowledge of computer games – and the ability to find a rocket launcher when you really need one – is a likely lifesaver. This video is from the same team the real life aimbot and I begin to wonder whether they’re [...]

TweetBrushfire is a miniature war game from On the Lamb games. I had my copy sent to work – a digital marketing agency – and handed it to a colleague sitting near me and explained I’d be writing a review of it. Captain Caveman, as we affectionately call his colleague, isn’t a gamer but he’s [...]

TweetThe danger of beating a wookie at chess is that it might rip your arm off. Everyone knows this. Really, though, is this fair on the wookies? Maybe they’re just big fuzz balls that like to relax at home. I suspect this may be the case. I’ve photographic evidence.
