Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail review

December 16, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Roberta’s Blood Trail is the third series of Black Lagoon and presented as an OVA. As the title suggests it leans heavily on the mild mannered maid – Roberta. Roberta may be a secondary character in the series but she’s hugely popular. We know of her background and of her abilities; she’s one of the […]

“Geek” is word of the year

December 16, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Heard that “Selfie” was word of the year? It certainly is if you ask the poll run by the Oxford Dictionaries. As it happens Collins Dictionary also has a word of the year contest and although it also had its fair share of new social-lingo; they didn’t win. Geek won Word of the Year in […]

The One gaming table to RULE them all

December 16, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

How’s this for a dining room set? Not something you’d find in either Argos or John Lewis, I’d imagine. Scratch that. How’s this for a table for a little D&D or Pathfinder on? Perhaps it’s more suited to a bit of dice rolling at MERP or the current LoTR RPG franchise – Cubicle 7’s The […]

Kill la Kill: Clever Ryuko Matoi Senketsu cosplay

December 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a clever bit of cosplay from Aussie star Happy Haha and photographed by the talented Beethy. It’s clever because it captures the Senketsu armour form of Kill la Kill’s Ryuko Matoi without strictly following each and exact element of the infamous costume. This is a cosplay that’s had the cops called out to […]

National pride: A review of Saltire

December 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Diamonsteel Comics introduce Saltire as Scotland’s first superhero and given the red headed, beardy chap with big boots and blue skin it seems pretty clear to me which nation he represents. Like many national pride issues; Saltire looks backwards in history and to about 125 AD when the Roman Empire had control of much of […]

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar trailer

December 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

We’re expecting Interstellar to be out towards the end of 2014 and for the marketing to remind us that this sci-fi is from the writer of Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. I wonder if they’ll mention Christopher Nolan and Superman? The trailer doesn’t give much away but Intersteller will follow adventurers from Earth who […]
