Judge Dredd: Superfiend trailer

October 25, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a trailer for Adi Shankar’s Judge Dredd tribute. Adi explains the animation is a departure from the film and channels more of the humour found in the comic book series. There’s plenty of shocks and gore in here but this “Bootleg series” show is apparently aimed at children. I suppose that works. I’m […]

Halo Nightfall trailer

October 24, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are a few Halo Nightfalls – there’s the Halo: Reach level and a Halo song. This Halo Nightfall is the live action crated by Paul Scheuring (Prison Break). It’s expected there will be five episodes that’ll come out with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The story in Nightfall will connect Halo 4 and Halo […]

War of the Worlds meets Achtung Cthulhu in this great video

October 10, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a must see video. It’s called the “Great Martian War” but this gamer took one look and immediately saw War of Worlds meets Achtung Cthulhu. The footage here comes from World War 1 footage… with, yeah, aliens added. It gets better. If you pop over to History.co.uk you’ll find more of the same. […]

The hypnotic visualisation of the screen time for 65 Game of Thrones characters

October 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Which Game of Throne characters have had the most screen time? Has House Lannister had more of the limelight than House Stark? See the Pen Polar Area Chart (Game of Thrones) by Desmond (@DesmondW) on CodePen. This impressive and interactive visual is the work of designer and developer Desmond Weindorf. It uses data from the […]

A look inside: Adventure Time cartoon cards

September 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Adventure Time – The Original Cartoon Title Cards is a new volume of quirky, brilliant and bizarre title cards. Not sure what a title card is? Title cards typically come after the opening sequence but before the first bit of the show. It’s a chance for the TV program to reveal the episode’s title. In […]

Latest Arrow season 3 trailer

September 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Arrow season 3 is nearly out in the States. Kinda. It’s due on the CW on October 8th. We can hope it escapes to other territories shortly after that. I don’t suppose there are any surprises in this trailer. We see a little more of Ray Palmer and the expected Thea Queen training scene. One […]

Netflix secures Gotham

September 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here I was worrying that Gotham would roll out on an American cable network and may never get any further than that. Warner Bros’s worldwide television department have announced a deal with Netflix that will take the series across the sea. From 2015, each season of the series will be made available to Netflix members […]

Magic or Science: A review of Karneval

September 2, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Karneval wastes no time in getting going. As the anime opens there is a young man handcuffed to a bed and a lecherous noble woman astride him. Kinky? It would help if the noble woman wasn’t also a hideous monster who literally hungers for flesh. Thankfully for our innocent hero – “Get off, you’re heavy” […]

Competition: Win Pyscho-Pass on Blu-ray

August 29, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

Pyscho-Pass is an anime about a future in which computers can read your mind and determine whether you are likely to commit a crime or not. It’s illegal just to have a state of mind in which puts you “at risk” of being a criminal. Geek Native gave the Blu-ray set a glowing review. It’s […]

Psychological cyberpunk: A review of Psycho-Pass

August 27, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You can play the game of trying to guess which sci-fi author has created worlds most similar to Psycho-Pass and award yourself bonus points if the characters in the anime agree with your assessment when they have the very same conversation. It might be tempting to describe Psycho-Pass as a utopian future as this is […]
