Their homepage is full of American TV stars. There are geeks up for prizes. Have a poke around and find a fellow native geek worth […]

Doraleous and Associates
Doraleous and Associates is an animated YouTube series spoofing the adventures of a band of heroes. In many ways this is a gaming group that you’ll already be familiar with. The first episode is careful with its animation but I think the cleverness of the plot comes through. The series continues, watch it here and […]
Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome actually launches
You might remember back in 2010 (yes, that long ago) when SyFy first started flirting with Blood and Chrome as a Battlestar Galactica spinoff. It flipped between being a TV series, an online only series and then being dropped all together. Now the “original” two hour pilot is being chopped up into ten 7 to […]
Can science explain zombies?
Imagine that the world really had zombies but not magic. Could we explain the phenomena just with science? These two videos are from TED education and attempt to do just that. TED is a fantastic brand that produces some thoroughly high quality and interesting videos. IN this case we’ve some lessons worth sahring that are […]
Popcorn Horror’s push for fan financing and rewards
[Support this Campaign] This is an interesting Indiegogo pitch from Popcorn Horror. It’s interesting because, like Indiegogo, it is also a pitch for an alternative form of financing. However, what Popcorn Horror are suggesting is a way to make money from content once the film has been made. There are few ways beyond YouTube and […]
Anime on Demand cancels payments
I subscribe to Anime on Demand. It’s a chance to watch legally streamed anime online and access shows I would never otherwise have access too. It’s a great deal for Viz Media as I only tend to access the service when I’m staying overnight in a hotel for business travel. If they have enough subscribers […]

Doctor Who: Pond Life, part 4
Part Four of Pond Life is out. This is the longest of the mini episodes from the web series yet. That’s to say it’s nearly 90 seconds, including intro and outro, and clocks in at 1m27. We were told that Pond Life would show us Amy and Rory trying to live their life after getting […]
LARP love story: Foam Fighters
Foam Fighters is a love story set around a LARP group. Mark gets dragged into his first ever LARP where he meets Gwen. The problem? Gwen’s with a rival faction. Foam Fighters have a blog for fans which lets us keep up to date with the production. This is pretty fun because they’re doing this […]
Doctor Who: Pond Life, part 3
After Rory and Amy got married it was pretty clear that Amy would not become Amy Williams. She kept her surname. In this episode of Pond Life Rory gets called Mr Pond. It’s a new, Whovian, way of doing things. That said; I suspect this episode will simply be known as Ood on the loo. […]
