For a taste of what's inside, Andrew Girdwood published a piece on 26th October 2013 noting: "This video, part of the Man at Arms series, shows sword-smith Tony Swatton reproducing the iconic hidden blade from the Assassin's Creed series. Since Swatton is really known for his sword skills the blacksmith also goes on to create the pirate cutlass that the assassin from Assassin's Creed IV uses.". It also was tagged with Swords.

These are the flying ghosts we should fear this Halloween

October 26, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tom Mabe has a great piece of Halloween tech here with this flying ghost. I don’t know whether to laugh at the people who run off when this spectre sneaks up behind them and screams or whether to recognise that they’ve done the sensible thing! Mabe won’t say how he created this skull demon. This […]

League of Legends cosplay: Darkflame Shyvana

October 26, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

League of Legends is doing well with cosplayers. The game’s characters are popular, this creates a fashion and that keeps them popular. Riot Games are savvy and are doing all that they can to keep this going. I imagine this is why they got in touch with French cosplayer Galuren to invite her to play […]

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #7 Demon Beast Mask

Captain America: The Winter Soldier UK trailer

October 24, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Got to hand it to Marvel; this trailer seems to have all the things. It has action. It has character development and interaction. It’s got twisty plot. It also has Nick Fury, Falcon, Black Widow, Captain America and The Winter Soldier. What do you think? Does the trailer suggest a balanced but active film or is […]
