Dungeons done right: The rotating labyrinth
Over Christmas James Eck, a games designer and fantasy novelist, put together a dungeon with an interesting spin. The labyrinth actually spins. The map rotates in different places and in different ways. Writing in his blog James describes how the map was built. She might not look like much, but that’s partly that its an […]
Dead Agressor: Exodus trailer
The trailer for Fafner in the Azure: Dead Agressor: Exodus contains some fantastic animation. The harbour scene looks incredibly well drawn. The video also seems to focus on stern or gloomy looking people. This is actually a sci-fi anime, a mecha series, that had been planned for 2013 but now has a Q3 2014 release […]
Get to know the cosplayers: Soni Aralynn and Thaxos
Distractotron continue their simple but effective series “Cosplay Chronicles”. This is a chance to get to know the cosplayers and I think it slays claims of “fake geek girls” in a single clip. Soni Aralynn comes across as credible, grounded and all types of hip. As a male cosplayer Thaxos doesn’t have to deal with […]

Second The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer

The question is whether The Amazing Spider-Man copes well with the two big villains or whether it gets too bitty and uncoordinated. That’s a fate some fans suggest was […]
First official Guardians of the Galaxy photo
Marvel have released the first official photo from Guardians of the Galaxy. I suppose this counts as “first” given that we had a teaser clip (probably) relating to Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of Thor: The Dark World. The picture shows enigmatic Gamora, then Peter Quill outside his Star-Lord uniform, Rocket Raccoon, Drax […]
Sexy social media cosplay
These cosplayers are dressed up as websites. That’s a challenge. They’ve taken that challenge and gone one better and cosplayed as sexy social media sites. The photographer is dtjaaaam. I rather like the cheeky sign Deviant Art is holding up. I think it represents the struggle and fear DA contributors have. Via Nicole Wakelin at […]

It’s the year 2046 and the world is deep in an energy crisis. Hope may come in a new form of energy known only as The Signal. The catch? Rebels insist The Signal causes a deadly sickness. If you liked the short you can pop over to the microsite for the movie and see how […]
