Nirvana: A review of Fairy Tail part 5
Part 5 of Fairy Tail means episodes 49 to 60. It’s an important section of the Fairy Tail mythos too. In the previous 50 or so episodes we’ve met Natsu, Lucy and then the Fairy Tail guild. We’ve gone on missions with Erza and Gray, encountered the Tower of Heaven and really serious Guild politics. […]

Cute but deadly childhood favourites… the graffiti of Herr Nilsson
I’m not sure anyone knows who Herr Nilsson is. That makes sense given that he (or she) does street art/graffiti. There is an official point of contact and you can find Herr Nilsson’s work in the Keszler Gallery alongside names like Banksy. There is a monkey character called Herr Nilsson in the Swedish children series […]

Blade & Soul: Trailer and character art
Blade & Soul is a Korean MMORPG and it is popular enough to be getting the anime treatment. Gonzo are handling the project with Hiroshi Takeuchi (Bodacious Space Pirates) and Hiroshi Hamasaki (Steins;Gate) directing. This is not an anime that goes into battle sensible female armour. It’s inspired, in part, by the four benevolent animals […]
8-bit-tastic: A review of Nova Phase
The saying may be that you should not judge a book by its cover but I’ll gladly admit to judging comic books, in part, by the art. Graphic novels and comic books are for me about the experience and immersion. The ability to get lost in a story comes down to the plot, the dialog, […]
Artoo bodycon dress for those with humble Jedi budgets
Geek blogs feature Black Milk designs all the time. They’re sexy, geeky and desirable. The catch? They’re not cheap. What if you wanted a Star Wars styled dress that was much kinder to your purse? Step up Attitude Clothing with this “Artoo Bodycon” design. It certainly manages to remind me of a certain Star Wars […]
Gollancz to reward savvy geeks
In the ecommerce world there is a tactic called dynamic pricing. If a large bookseller, for example, has a clever algorithm that knows you’ll rush to buy the next Game of Thrones book when it comes out then it’ll edge up the price of the hardback and let you know it’s there. Equally, if the […]
