Look inside a great steampunk pub

July 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Should you find yourself in Cluj-Napoca, Romania then make the time to visit Joben Bistro. This pub has been transformed by design studio 6th Sense into something avant-garde. I describe this as a steampunk variant. Freshome describes it as Jules Verne inspired. We’re both probably right.

Let’s hope Guardians of the Galaxy breaks the usual “long trailer” rule

July 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Have you heard of this rule – “the longer the trailer – the worse the movie”? I have. Sad to say that it often holds true. I remain a huge fan of all the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers but I’m beginning to wonder at the tactics. Why so many long clips? One theory is […]

Akira’s theme with a classical twist and cosplay topping

July 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the first post on a YouTube channel called Player Piano. Got to say; it looks interesting. The channel is focused on Sonya Belousova, a piano player, and in this video she brings with her musical friends all cosplaying Akira. She also brings Eru Matsumoto who uses a neon bow for her electric cello […]

Cleverly layered: A Knights of Sidonia anime review

July 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The Knights of Sidonia is the first anime I’ve watched on Netflix. One of the reasons I wanted to watch it was to encourage Netflix to buy in more – and they did do the heavy lifting on this one. The other reason was that the Knights of Sidonia looked like an interesting but relatively […]

This is a thing: Batmetal

July 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s Batman meets Metal. In particular, this is ArhyBES’s take of Dethklok’s Face Fisted. Their “new” band is called Children of Batman and this remake is called Batface. You might not want to listen to this at work because, well, metal. And swearing. I like the arrangement of Red Hood, Robin and then Nightwing across […]

Toby Froud’s Lessons Learned trailer

July 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you ever wonder what happened to the baby in stripey pajamas who stared in Labyrinth? Not the character but the actor. He grew up to become Toby Froud of striped pyjamas and he makes puppets and animates them Labyrinth style. As it happens his father is Brian Froud who was the conceptual artist for […]

New Robotech anime? If Harmony Gold finds Kickstarter gold

July 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Harmony Gold Productions are the people who helped dub Dragon Ball in the 80s but are better known for being the US distributor of Robotech. The company has been slumbering for a while, it seems, but perhaps due to the ongoing sales strength of Robotech on DVD they’ve started to stir. Now they’re asking for […]

Necromancer Games Kickstarts D&D 5e range before agreeing license with WotC

July 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dungeons & Dragons 5e is barely out; you can download D&D Basic or buy the Starter Set. You would think that without the licensing rules for the game that third party publishers can’t yet write products either. Necromancer Games, though, is back from a torpor to produce D&D 5e books and have raised nearly all […]
