Dragon Age: Redemption – Episode 1
The first episode of Felicia Day’s Dragon Age is out. I think it’s pretty good. Do you? The debate rages as to whether the production values are high enough. I think they’re good for an online series – in essence this is an angel funded enterprise. I wonder, though, whether a Kickstarter campaign as either […]
Henry Tripson’s Batman fan film
Henry describes Batman: The Line as a tribute to characters, creators and his Grandfather. It’s a Batman fan film that was several years in the making. The movie is just shy of 13 minutes long and is available in HD. All you need to do is sit back, watch and leave your comments below.
Felicia Day’s Dragon Age Redemption trailer
It’s perhaps not right to say “they’re making a Dragon Age web series”. It feels more like Felicia Day is making the series. SHe’s a co-writer, co-producer and headline star. In fact, it was via Felicia Day’s Google+ stream that I was first made aware of this trailer. That was a few days ago. Minutes […]

It looks like they got some science on them! Let’s turn to Weebl and Bob to help us stay in the Portal zone. Did you know the turrets were in a band called Radio Head? Weebl’s in it too. Sure. There’s a band with a similar name but I’m not sure which one came first. […]
Legal anime streaming in the UK
Frustrated at how hard it is to get your hands on legal anime in the UK? Annoyed that the DVDs hit the shelves many years after the movie or series has been shown everywhere else? You’re not alone. Step in Anime on Demand. Yeah. Wait. I know this blog post is going on April Fools […]
Dragon Age Malevolence trailer
Dragon Age: Malevolence is a fan-made short film. No, it’s not the Felicia Day effort, it’s another one. The director is Leo Kei Angelos, and he describes himself as a true Dragon Age fan. What’s the budget? It’s pegged at about $0,000.00. I’d say the costumes look pretty impressive. Perhaps they’re LARPers! What do you […]
Pictures of Felicia Day as Dragon Age’s Tallis
Looks like we may well have a Dragon Age video series. Felicia Day – of The Guild fame, Buffy and Dollhouse – is to thank. Day has teamed up with EA/Bioware to head up Dragon Age: Redemption. In the show she’ll play an elf assassin called Tallis, hired by the Qunari to find a rogue […]
Fan-made Superman animation; short but punchy!
This is a very short video. It’s only 2:35 long and most of that is the credits – however, watch to the end because you get a short scene with Robb Pratt, the animator, who reveals extra layers of cleverness. You see, this isn’t just a quality piece of animation. This Superman cartoon is drenched […]
