This fantastic tee design by Jayveezed is available from Redbubble (£18) and mashes The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with Star Wars. The result is superb. “I find your lack of towel disturbing” This slogan is deeply geeky because it expertly mashes up two iconic phrases and universes. “I find your lack of faith disturbing” […]

Tekken goes virtual CCG and avoids the horror of the button mash

April 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you suspect you would enjoy Tekken and the in-game mythology that’s built up over the years if you could only avoid the horror of the button mash.

Marvel teases “phase 2” as “phase 1” leaves the inner circle

April 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The chances are high that you’ll have read on blogs like Geek Native “phase 1” or “phase 2” from Marvel. There’s even phase 3 chat. The phrase “phase 1”, though, had been used by the inner circle of geeklore fans. That’s no longer the case. Marvel are now pushing a large box set, 10 discs, […]
