The gamer experience: FPS vs cRPGS
True? Probably! What was the quickest you ever finished a game? Via Dueling Analogs.
It’s a trap…
You’d expect this post to feature Admiral Ackbar. He owns “It’s a trap”. What sort of trap, though? That’s the question. This t-shirt even comes with a backstory. The government doesn’t pay very much out in pensions anymore – especially after you’ve just overthrown it. A Mon Calamari needs to eat, needs to earn some […]
What if Aardman Animation made a pair of Batman and Robin models?
Aardman are known for classics like Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run. What about Batman? The image above is real and the two models are available for sale from Things From Another World for less than $40.00.

[Back this Campaign] Jerry Grayson is offering a large degree of transparency on the project. The entire draft text of the RPG […]
Is this a Cthulhu Britannica London clue?
Cthulhu Britannica is a series of games from Cubicle 7 and fully licensed from Chaosium, the Call of Cthulhu RPG owners. There are a few books in the series, including Shadows over Scotland, but I’m not aware of a Cthulhu Britannica London. So what does this image mean? A mockup done for fun? Perhaps but […]
Disney Princesses as brutal Avengers
These pictures come from the talented Christopher Stoll, a young artist based in the US. He’s getting plenty of attention this week for these creations and I hope his daily deviantion tally goes through the roof. In a good way. I’m especially fond of Pocahontas as Captain America. Mulan as Hawkeye Jasmine as Iron Man […]
