Clockwork Assassin’s Creed Phantom Blade

October 16, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Google may have published stats this week to show that Assassin’s Creed costumes will be popular this year but I doubt many of them will have an accessory like this blade. The design here is impressive. It may look simple but I’m sure it’s fiendishly clever. ImDeePain Reborn, the creator, notes you may not be […]

Was OSR just a scarecrow? A review of D&D 5e Player’s Handbook

October 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 52 Comments

This is a review of the Player’s Handbook for the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. It’s taken me a while get my sweaty fingers on the book… a long while. In the meantime there have been plenty of reviews and the great majority are overwhelmingly positive. But what does this mean? I’m a roleplayer […]

Google’s Halloween costume stats; 30% Frozen, 40% comic book and 10% game

Which Halloween costumes are most popular right now? Google knows. It’s shared the top 10 for this month and Frozen dominates with Elsa and Olaf in positions #1 and #2. What happened to Black Widow’s face? Google’s post is actually a case study into some clever search marketing that Buy Costumes did. The retailer predicted […]

Two thousand dollars for scariest Halloween prop ever

October 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Uh-oh. Normally I get frustrated when a video is shot in vertical rather than horizontal. This time I’m glad as it helped cushion the blow. If you want your Halloween to be filled with screams this year then you can buy this “Chair Screamer”. You just need to pop over to Posion Props and splash […]

Magic: The Gathering unboxing flips out as $25,000 card turns up

October 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think you’d have to be a hardcore Magic: The Gathering fan to watch an unboxing. Yup; even if it’s a competition to win a card and even they’re opening an alpha starter pack. So how come we’re approaching 1.5m people watching this video? Not a single ad on it either. Right at the end […]

Competition: Saints and Soldiers – The Void

October 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

101 Films has a dramatic World War II movie out this month. Saints and Soldiers – The Void tells the story of Sergeant Jesse Owens; an African-American soldier put in charge of an all-white tank crew with one final mission. It’s the last few days of World War II but there is still a platoon […]

Demonically intense: A review of Berserk 3 – The Advent

October 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It was two years ago that I watched the first two new Berserk movies. The Egg of the King creates an interesting cast and world. Then as the second movie, The Battle for Doldrey, ends we get a kick in the teeth and things look to be over for our characters. The third movie, The […]

Mapping Minas Tirith

October 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Have you ever been a mapper in an old style dungeon crawl? It’s not easy. If you have then you’ll have an additional level of respect for this very detailed map of Middle Earth’s Minas Tirith. It’s fair to call out old RPGs for this map as it was surfaced over at Reddit as an […]

Making the perfect paper mache dragon

October 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s been too long since I made paper mache. Now that I’ve found Ultimate Paper Mache.com that may change. Check out Cindy’s dragon and the four-page step by step instructions on how she did it. Cindy says she started the project by chance and accident. Just like me, Cindy hadn’t sculpted anything since high school, […]

Short Film: E N V O Y

October 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It may be another child finds alien/robot, wants to play and then the military get involved but David Weinstein’s short film is better than most. It was put together without a big budget and does very well. The dog. The trick with the ball. The special effects. All great. Ready to watch more? Use this […]
