The Cats RPG LARP or, er, something – alien attack, maybe?

November 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tom Ska is a YouTube wonder. This could be a LARP based off the Cats RPG. Okay; there are some problems with that; there is no Cats RPG that I’m aware off and the special effects here are rather better than most LARPS. However, if we move on from these problems – surely this is […]

Nazgul: The Office

November 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What would it be like to work in The Witch King’s office? I think it would have some perks but I would worry about the tech savvy of The Nazgul. This is the challenge the 10th Nazgul, Frank, faces. He was brought in to help with the Windows Vista upgrade. Yeah. That’s pretty evil.

“What are you doing here?” supercut of Doctor Who

November 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s nearly 9 minutes long. I can only imagine the Doctor Who loyalty requires to research, clip and compile […]
