Joss Whedon, Avengers director, will be running a S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. We knew Marvel had a TV series in the works and this is it.

Doctor Who: Pond Life, part 3

August 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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. […]

The Peturbed Dragon: EN World’s Morrus launches web series

August 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Russell Morrissey, known to many as Morrus from EN World, has launched a web series. It’s called The Petrubed Dragon, we’re a few episodes in and so far we’ve commentary (with a twist) on some gamer sterotypes. The second episode features a “my GM wouldn’t…” visiting player. We all know those. The twist? In The […]

Doctor Who: Pond Life, part 2

August 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the second in the five part mini-series called Pond Life that follows Amy and Rory trying to have a “life”. This eposide is just as small and as teasing as the first Pond Life and acts as a clever wrapper around some micro teasers for season 7 of Doctor Who. If you’ve not […]

Who actually created D&D? A Dungeons and Dragons documentary

August 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is a trailer for a Dungeons & Dragons documentary. I think it looks pretty good. It’s a complex story – even around apparently simple questions like; “Who actually created D&D?” https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewpascal/dungeons-and-dragons-a-documentary This is not a completed documentary though. It may never be finished. There’s a Kickstarter project for it with pledges beginning at […]

Doctor Who: Pond Life, part 1

August 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Pond Life is a series of 5 short, YouTube, Doctor Who episodes that run up to the start of season 7 and Asylum of the Daleks. The Doctor features heavily in this episode but we’re told it will actually focus on the “Ponds” and their struggle to have a normal life after their encounter with […]

Asylum of the Daleks and Steven Moffat’s Edinburgh comments [no spoilers]

August 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

I’m just back from the Filmhouse in Edinburgh and the second ever screening of the season 7 opener, Asylum of the Daleks, for Doctor Who. London had the first screening; New York and Canada are still to come. There have been no spoilers leaked from these screenings yet. There’s only a week until Doctor Who […]
