Think there’s been much innovation in puppet design over the last 100 years? The last 500 years? This new concept from Barnaby J Dixon is really clever. The two handed design makes use of clever mechanics to create a puppet that can pick things up and point. The original concept came from a failed attempt […]

Samsung release Batman inspired S7
Fancy mixing the Dark Knight into your tech porn? In a stunt to help promote Injustice: Gods Among Us Samsung have a special edition S7 Edge. Got to say – quite tempted by the S7 edge. What puts me off? TouchWiz. Whether you fancy the S7 edge or not you’ll probably have to admit this […]

Geek in style: A review of Cross Marvel Tech2 Spider-Man pen
I was given some Green Lantern cufflinks as a gift and I still get a kick out of the secret geek they represent. It’s rare that I need to be suited and booted but when it happens I’m clearly out of my geeky comfort zone. Being able to smuggle in something that’s both classy and […]
Character illustrations for those who can’t draw: A review of ePic Character Generator
It’s frustrated for me for as long as I can remember; I can’t draw. I’ve been envious of friends with the talent to create little sketches of their roleplaying characters and NPCs. Needless to say I was interested when ePic Character Generator popped up on Steam for free. The software really is free. Yeah, of […]
This way to the Cthulhu library
Etsy boutqiue Gregs Home from Gregory Besson sells tentacled door handles. The octopus handles are hand mae in Paris and were created when Besson needed something for his boat. I think they have something of a steampunk feel to them but that’s probably the result of the brass powder used in the resin. The nice […]
Borderland’s Claptrap cosplay
Claptrap is a helpful (mostly) robot from Borderlands. He’s all wheel and arms. This design, originally by NoFlutter is very clever. Does it count as a Rule 63 cosplay? Worn by cosplayer Foxxi Loxxi this Claptrap manages to retain some of the weird grace/wobble that the game’s little robot helper had. Perhaps it’s those inliners. […]
Short film: Death in Space
Thomas Lucas is onto a winner. This animation is a series of 2 second scenes and people die in each one. What’s not to like? The whole video was put together by Tom in his spare time. As it happens he works as an animator for his day job and that goes a long way […]
Short film: Uncanny Valley
This work from 3DAR is very clever. Imagine a future with easy to access virtual reality. Okay, that future isn’t too far away. Imagine a little further ahead when the tech is cheap and people have had enough to become addicted. Why would these addicts ever want to return to a ‘normal’ life? That’s the […]
What if… DOOM, claymation and kittens?
The great work of Lee Harcastle. What’s not to like about animate kittens? So cyute. No? The timing of this video is great. The gods of Bethesda have just released the latest, actual, Doom.
