June 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This cake from Fernanda Abarca Cakes is simply superb. It’s huge. It’s also very clearly the entirely cute Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. The client? DreamWorks Animation who have How to Train Your Dragon 2 to promote. But wait, there’s more! There’s also these kawaii Toothless cupcakes.

Nameless World mixes electro rock and Zombillenium monsters

June 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s a good idea. To promote the graphic novel Zombillenium: Gretchen the talented Arthur de Pins created the music video Nameless World. I’m allowed to be jealous anyone who can write and draw their own graphic novel about an amusement park run by monsters and who can then put together an animated music video to […]

This is a really good idea. Braille dice that come in all the varieties gamers use. No wonder this humble Kickstarter is smashing targets. [Back the Campaign] These dice will all be 3D printed. That’s one of the factors that makes the $1 pledge tier so interesting. For just $1 you can get a sketchup […]

Mastodon’s music video full of RPG and LARP

June 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Out of the blue Mastodon’s music video for “High Road” features a geeky kid who stays at home to look after his gran. He’s also a roleplayer with an active imagination and a LARPer. As a metal video expect a couple of real-life twists. Worth a watch, I say.

15 dragons and you – a size comparison

June 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, tiny but predictable spoilers for Game of Thrones fans, which you can avoid by not looking at the names of the dragons in the bottom left of the chart. Click the image to enlarge. Then spy the square in the top right corner of the image to enlarge again. It’s worth the wrestling. Hit […]

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is due out early in 2015 and will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. This game brings some changes. CD Projekt Red have always favoured the non-linear approach and with The Witcher 3 they’ve turned to the open world format. In the game you can explore […]

Hubcap Creatures

June 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These creatures are the work of Brighton based Ptolemy Elrington. The artist works with hubcaps that have been found out in the wild. In other words, these are hubcaps that have had a previous life as part of a car and which have made their escape, abandoned and left to be rescued by art. Via […]

Shopping with a giant Uruk Hai

June 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Who else has gone shopping while in full LARP gear? I know I have and I can’t be the only one… if only because I wasn’t alone when I did it. This video takes the monster in the shops gag to a whole new level. The Uruk Hai here simply towers above everyone they meet […]

Short film: Project Kronos

June 11, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think this is clever. It’s a bold attempt at a short film in the documentary style. The sci-fi piece imagines what interstellar space travel might be like in the not too distant future but after some radical rethinking. This radical rethinking opens up a much larger issue for the team of scientists to get […]
