League of Legends: Fiddlesticks cosplay

March 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is top class cosplay. Look at the feet. Is that stilts? Perhaps so… but they’re at an angle. I can only speculate how hard it would be to balance on those. The character is Fiddlesticks from the League of Legends. He appeared after a summoning ritual gone wrong nearly twenty years ago in the […]

Second After Earth trailer

March 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I still hold M. Night Shyamalan in pretty high esteem although it does feel like he’s been searching for a hit for a while. It could well be After Earth with the mega star combo of Jaden and Will Smith, playing father and son, will be it. This trailer shows Kitai Rage (Jaden) having to […]

Ammonite fossil skull

March 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This skull, some 9.6 inches long, is carved from an Ammonite fossil. In India the skulls are associated with the God Vishnu and are used in various ceremonies. The name Ammonite actually comes from teh Greek ram-horned God called Ammon. I think these skulls are wonderful inspiration for GMs. There are plenty of fantasty creatures […]

Little Witch trailer

March 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I suspect this one draws on the same sources of inspiration that helped the Harry Potter stories along. Little Witch is a Studio Trigger production, directed by Yoh Yoshinari and produced by Naoko Tsutsumi. They’ve both previously worked on the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt series. The anime movie opened in Japan at the start […]

Latest Star Trek Into Darkness trailer looks incredible

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looks good, huh? Glad to see Spock getting a little screen time in this one. Actually, the trailer is clever in that it gives plenty of the bridge crew a look in. There’s a chance to spot your favourite. Benedict Cumberbatch glows with evil. His star will climb further. I don’t know about you but […]

EA offer free game, apologise for SimCity

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

EA’s SimCity did not get off to a good start. EA and Maxis decided that you had to be online to play the game. That’s increasingly common these days. It’s an anti-piracy technique mainly but some games do just have online built in. The problem? EA’s servers couldn’t cope. You couldn’t actually play the game. […]

Peanut superheroes

This peanut Spider-man and Wonder Woman are the creation of Steve Casino. You can see many more on his site or over at Facebook. Steve paints more than just superheroes. He’s done Doctor Who and many others. Like what you see? He accept requests and charges between $300 to $500 a nut. Via My Modern […]

The Wyld Hunt (Agency Case Files) review

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I really enjoyed The Wyld Hunt. It’s a bit of a challenge to find a genre that satisfies; cyberpunk meets noir? That’s close but there’s almost Dune like sci-fi in the background and elements of horror, even Lovecraft inspired horror, just lurking in the background. Agent John Aries works in a far future London in […]

Assault on the Mountains of Madness

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Achtung! Cthulhu – The WW2 Keeper’s & Investigator’s Guides is stomring it. It made its target in just 26 hours and has gone on to smash stretch goal after stretch goal. In response the British publisher Modiphius has announced a whole new campaign. If it’s full funded via the stretch goals then it’ll be […]
