David Tennant and Billie Piper back for Doctor Who 50th

March 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The last words of the Tenth Doctor were “I don’t want to go” and now he’ll be back. There’s a tradition with Doctor Who anniversary episodes that has two or more Doctors involved in the same plot line but it really was not clear whether this would happen for the 50th. Today, on the same […]

Dalek snack idea

March 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a veggie friendly pizza. That said; it may be friendly to vegetarians but I’m not sure how friendly is to mankind or any other non-Dalek race in general though. This is Dalek pizza. Planning snacks for today’s return of Doctor Who? This might do.

If Disney designed Daenerys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea

March 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 8 Comments

Okay, I think it’s fair to say that Disney could never do a Game of Thrones. They’re not really into building characters up so you appreciate the horror of their death. They’re not really into the incest, murder, animal cruelty and descent into insanity that makes the Song of Ice and Fire so great. However, […]

[Back this Campaign] Mark Rein-Hagen co-founded the RPG publisher White Wolf and created iconic games like Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. His next game might be Succubus: The Reborn if this Kickstarter is successful. This game is very different from the storyteller RPGs. This is a card game in which players, working in […]
