[Back this Campaign] Robins on the Road is an Indiegogo campaign to support three Aussie cosplayers in a tour of the States. I suppose the best reason to support the campaign is to help three young, talented, geeks on a journey of a lifetime. That said; look at the perks. There are lots of small […]
Articles by Andrew Girdwood - Page 1554
A notable highlight from 28th September 2013 by Andrew Girdwood is described as "In many ways The First Kingdom is a saga of epic proportions. We go from the pre-history of the start and see even futuristic scenes. There are themes that run through the books; characters face tests and challenges, clothes remain unpopular, there are all sorts of meddling and mismatches.". It also was tagged with Fantasy.

Spooky Carnage cosplay versus sexy Black Cat
Black Cat’s legion of fans might appreciate the cosplay here but I suspect they’ll be less keen on the outcome of the fight. Carnage fans, on the other hand, get some cracking cosplay as well as a victory. Perhaps I should have saved this one for Halloween? The photographer is Ocean-san at Deviant Art, Black […]
A look inside: Batman – Arkham City Escape board game
Is it too early to be thinking of Christmas gifts? Perhaps we should concentrate on the matter at hand – escaping Arkham City prison. The board game Batman: Arkham City Escape is a two player game, with the playing board a large area of a walled-off section of the Arkham City prison. One player acts as […]
Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor teaser
What’s to be said for this video from the BBC? It’s not a Day of the Doctor trailer? It’s a teaser. It tells us to watch the #SaveTheDay hashtag. There’s a strange accent, I think, too. The Day of the Doctor is the 75 minute 50th Anniversary Special for Doctor Who. It’s expected to feature […]
Is this the ultimate Nintendo orchestra medley?
This is The String Player Gamer’s opus. An orchestral cover of many of your favourite classic Nintendo tunes. Nicely, the medley doesn’t linger too long on any one tune so it’s fairly fast paced and there’s plenty of variety. The musical nerd also manages to blend the tunes together skilfully and collection works as a […]
The Tomb of Swords in LEGO
This impressive landscape shows a tomb shaped like a giant sword set between two cliffs. A field of broken swords stretches out in front. It is the creation of skilful lego builder Lisqr who clearly as an eye for photography as well. It looks very much as if this LEGO landscape would work well as […]
A review of The First Kingdom: Birth of Tundran
This is a classic. The First Kingdom was first published back in 1974, ran for over a thousand pages and finished three years later. The series is written and illustrated by Jack Katz and it’s a compelling style. Katz draws in tightly knit back and white, it’s a dense style that must have taken ages […]
The little royal icing dragon and his cake friends
This too cute royal icing dragon is good enough to eat. He was created by The Evil Plankton, aka cook and deviant artist Rita from Canada. Rita clearly has a skill when it comes to tasty dragon cakes. Check out the rest.
World champion jouster uses what?
Over at Fashionably Geek, Amy Ratcliffe has this article on Sarah Hays donning armour and winning jousts. I loved the Aussie TV coverage of the story; it has everything from farting horses to the presenters discussing “jousting sticks”. Jousting sticks, really? They’ve never come across the word lance? Some videos of Sarah Hays in action […]
C2C’s Delta music video channels the inner gamer
I’m not cool enough to have heard of C2C before but this video caught my eye. In fairness, after a second play of the track I think Delta is growing on me too. The music video shows a strange ‘delta’ float up alongside a busy city and present something of a challenge to the ruler. […]
