Distractotron Channel have a video of some of cosplay highlights from Heroes Con. Good to see plenty of men dressing up for the gig too. More pictures over at their Facebook gallery. It might be worth noting Beat Down Boogie‘s involvement in the video too. They’re the people who brought us the Animazement 2013 cosplay […]

A review of 009 Re: Cyborg
009 Re: Cyborg is an anime from Ghost in the Shell’s Kenji Kamiyama and Production I.G. I watched it here in Edinburgh, on a big cinema screen, as it’s the debut title from new Scottish based anime distributor Anime Limited. In short; it’s a cracking film, thoroughly engaging and blisteringly contemporary. Then it stops and […]
Wizards without Coats: Girlfriend issues
When real-life debates spill over onto the gaming table (and ogres are involved). < PreviousWizards without Coats Next > Why do I aways get stuck teaming with Shawn when he has girlfriend issues? GM: “You see 5 ogres minding their own business, discussing pacifism…”Player (interrupting): “I attack!” Yeah, on review, that may have […]
Cthulhu Brown
As funny as Charlie Brown? I think so! Certainly more odd funny. Who wouldn’t want a beagle from beyond time and space? I’m reminded of this Snoopthulhu and H.P. Lovebrown design. Hat tip to WeeGamers for the find.
Marvel Heroes cinematic opening
This is the opening cinematic for the free to play Marvel Heroes. The MMO opened its doors for early access today. The events leading up to Doctor Doom’s showdown with the Watcher appear as a four-part motion comic written by Brian Michael Bendis, with the first episode of Chronicles of Doom dealing with the Fantastic […]
Grayson: Earth One pilot
I’ve seen a few of these style of videos; made on a budget, talking to fandom, and with actors you’re yet to see on the TV. They’re generally a mixed bunch. Grayson: Earth One, however, is a cut above the rest. Hisonni Johnson’s re-imagined origin story of Nightwing/Richard Grayson is tight, makes perfect use of […]
Doctor Who fans can help put a TARDIS in space
[Back the Campaign] That’s right; this father-daughter team are planning on putting a solar powered, picture sending, TARDIS into space. They need some money. No surprise there. For $15 you can get your name on the hard drie in the TARDIS. At $45 you get a t-shirt and this is one with bragging rights. That […]
Short film: Obsolete
Obsolete is a recent staff pick over at Vimeo. Created by Lewis Gray and with music by Nich Inch Nails, the animation tells the story of a robot caught in a horrible factory and forced to make toys. Things change when the robot mistakes a toy for a bird.
A review of Stephen King’s Joyland
Joyland is a fantastic story. This is a compelling and yet oddly gentle tale of a young man experiencing the ache of heartbreak and the curve-balls life can throw at you. As it happens, Joyland is written by that master suspense Stephen King. So when there’s the mention that the Horror House in the Joyland […]
LEGO war map
This is an usual LEGO build but the quality is clear. This is the sort of map you might expect to see on the wooden table in a field General’s tent headquarters. I can see why it reminds some of the start of a Game of Thrones, the TV version that is, too. The LEGO […]
