Really real? A Star Trek Phaser
Boing Boing is reporting that somechap has managed to build himself a Star Trek phaser. The video is below and it’s a little odd. The title seems third party and it appears on this YouTube channel. On the other hand, the claims of the phaser aren’t very high – he’s had to fill the garage […]
Festo’s flying and morphing shape – new robots ahoy
I was impressed by the Festo team at The Gadget Show Live this year. I even managed to capture (some) video footage of their robot bird as it flew gracefully around the stage. A new video from the company shows off their “SmartInversion”. This is a flying geometrical band, filled with hellium, that moves through […]
The wine tentacle
This is a wine stopper. A very different sort of wine stopper – like something out of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos or, dare I say it, certain anime films. The wine tentacle is resin-cast on a stainless steel stopper with a rubber lip. Fancy it? It’s one of the new arrivals at the indie craft […]
The How to Train Your Dragon live dragon is awesome
You may not have known – this blogger didn’t – but there’s a live How to Train Your Dragon stage show. At this point you might be wondering how they do the dragons. They do the dragons very, very well. In fact, this dragon is so awesome it’s hard to believe it’s not a CGI […]

Chronicle City is Angus Abranson’s new vehicle, post Cubicle 7, and has already signed some interesting names including Wicked World Games’ Cold & Dark, Dungeonslayers and Firehawk Games. Radical Approach, also based in the UK, is known for fantasy RPG […]
Hot Wheels RC kicks stake park
This video of a Hot Wheels remote controlled car zipping around a stake park in Venice Beach is pretty cool. The car is a Ken Block Fiesta RC and it can clearly turn on a dime. I imagine this is only possible because of the incredible power to weight ratio it has. However, it’s a […]
Gary Dupuis and the Purple Duck demoness interview
Gary Dupuis is a Canadian artist who has worked with a range of RPG publishers. His credits include Steve Jackson Games, Goodman Games, Headless Hydra Games and Purple Duck Games. Gary’s kindly agreed to do a quick email around his latest commission for Purple Duck Games – a demoness. Purple Duck Games have also kindly […]
The Sonic Screwdriver is invented in Dundee, Scotland
The BBC is reporting that Dundee Uni researchers have invented the sonic screwdriver. So, how does the Doctor Who device work? The Dundee University researchers have created a machine which uses ultrasound to lift and rotate a rubber disc floating in a cylinder of water. It is said to be the first time ultrasound waves […]
