Amazon suspend SimCity downloads, blaming EA

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In an unusual twist Amazon have suspended downloads of SimCity and issued a warning about EA’s servers. In effect they’re saying; you could buy this from us but you’ll not be able to play it and then you’ll be angry at us. Instead, they’re making it clear the problem sits firmly with EA and their […]

Enough of that – look at the video! You can follow MLZ Studios on Facebook. Next year, if they do it again, their Shinobi costume for […]

The Wookiee Skateboard keeps barefoot skaters warm

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This interesting skateboard will set you back $299 from Weird Boards.com. It’ll keep your toes warm too. If I was you I’d keep it out of the rain… and well, isn’t this more to look at than use? Wookies, I’m sure, don’t take kindly to being stood on. Via the ever savy Amy Ratcliffe at […]

Lewisham’s Role Play Haven makes the news

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What happens when you send a journalist who, by his own admission, couldn’t even make it through a Lord of the Rings film to interview a large roleplaying club in London? The results are surprisingly pleasant for the gamers. There is, of course, a catch. The club’s venue, a room in Lewisham Hospital, is at […]

March 6, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess is the second book in the Girl Genius series. It picks up the action from the Airship City as Agatha attempts to get home and there’s already a lot going on. Little wonder the novel is twice as long. The first thing the Clockwork Princess proves is that the […]
