If you had a) art skills and b) a knowledge of Minecraft what would you do? In this video Chris Carlson picks up a packet of chalk and create some pretty cool 3D chalk artwork. Chris draws a Diamond Sword (which I’ve never had in Minecraft) to great effect. We get to see the maths […]

Batman theme song squeaked by actual bats
Cool? Or the most annoying sound ever? I add the latter because that’s how it was described to me. I quite like the “bats’ song” but I’m not sure about the bloody maw of the vampire bat that pops up throughout the video. This is the work of Sándor Seuntjens. Sándor assigned digitally reduced frequencies […]
Cosplaying a Wookiee Bounty Hunter
The Wookiee we see here is Snoova. Snoova was a bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War. The creation, by ‘mcm1015’, is a fantastic piece of cosplay with incredible attention to detail and evident production skill. You can find more on Flickr. Via Obivious Winner.

Imagine you’ve stepped into an elevator with a […]
Mass Effect cosplay: Stunning Tali
Tali remains hugely popular as a Mass Effect character and despite the huge challenges as a cosplay we see her fairly often. That said, Ayimera’s Tali is a cosplay worthy of a shoutout (through a large megaphone). The quality is amazing. The photographer here is Mike Kowalek. He’s done a stunning job with this one […]
Custom Night Fury dragon lamp breathes fire
This rather awesome creation is the work of the deviant artist Undead Geologist. The Geologist clearly has many talents and crafting fire breathing dragons is one of them. The Night Fury is a popular breed of dragon thanks to Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. I don’t think we see Toothless breathing fire but […]
Fullmetal Alchemist cosplay
A rather clever Alphonse Elric cosplay from the hugely popular Fullmetal Alchemist anime series. How do you think the cosplayer sees?
It’s not a bloody cleaver – it’s a woman’s clutch
How’s this for a fashion statement that stands you out as a geek? You could be a LARPer, a horror fan or just proudly different. That said, it’s perhaps not the clutch to try and take through the airport with you. On sale from Amazon.com. Will it sell out?
Bullets precisely split in half
All I know about weapons I’ve learnt from roleplaying games; either as a player or as a GM. The pictures below show modern bullets cut in half. You can see the powder and contents of each round. It’s easy to see why some are better at punching through armour than others and why some specialise […]
