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 […]
Half-Life fan movie: Beyond Black Mesa
The fan made video Geek Native posted yesterday was Lazy Teenage Superheroes which was made with a budget of about $300. It was pretty good. There’s also the impressive Fallout fan film: Nuka Break. It’s a fan film festival! Imagine, then, what a fan made film with similar talent could do for $1,200. Beyond Black […]
Fan Film: Fallout: Nuka Break
This fan made film gets off to a great start – it asks kindly that no one sues. Then it gets even better as we flick out of quirky Fallout mode and flip to arhg-the-world-is-toast Fallout mode. It’s not an advert for COke. It’s an advert for Nuka Cola which we should all remember will […]
Lazy Teenage Superheroes
Here’s a video going viral that deserves to be famous. It’s called Lazy Teenage Superheroes and they say it had a budget of $300. If that’s right then the effects they achieve are pretty awesome. Michael Ashton also gets mega cook points for creating this, directing, editting and making the special effects. Ashton doesn’t star […]
There’s a new asdfmovie
There’s a new asdfmovie. It’s asdfmovie3 and is therefore a second attempt to match the hugely popular asdfmovie which has had nearly 8 million views in the 2 years it has been live. It’s best described as a clip show of short gags but there’s a homage or two to jokes from the previous “movies”. If you’ve […]
Happy Christmas: Infinite Santa 8000
Infinite Santa 8000 is a series which started back in November – which is actually when this post was written – and is doing a video until Christmas. You’ve a bit of catching up to do but if you’re bored at work or stuck at home that’ll be perfect. Check them out and enjoy. Here […]
Caprica’s Alessandra Torresani as slave Leia
I rather liked Caprica. It wasn’t the fastest paced show and I suspect, a bit like Dollhouse, that was part of the problem – but it was intelligent and engaging. Without a doubt Alessandra Torresani has made a name for herself among geeks. She’s web credible. Torresani stars in Kevin Pereira‘s Capirca. His goal? To […]
Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome moving to TV
SyFy have already given the thumbs up to a web series of Blood and Chrome which features a young William “Husker” Adama. Now the channel as agreed to the production of a two hour pilot for TV. Blood & Chrome takes place in the 10th year of first Cylon war. Adama is barely in his […]
LARPer interviews Sylvester McCoy, talks Doctor Who
This is cute video. For a start we’ve a program that doens’t take the piss out of LARPing. Kudos to Playstation Game Runners on VBS.TV. Kudos also to Niahm who, I think, does really well as the ad hoc presenter. I don’t know for sure if this is Niahm’s group but Heroes and Heroines meets […]
