Avatar art from V Shane
GameWyrd commissioned V Shane to create a small gallery of pictures suitable for forum or IM RPG in 2004. He did well.
Keyboard runes
This was first published on GameWyrd on the 30th May, 2002 The following rune language was devised for the Shifter Sphere on a MUSH. The language had been lost to the local Ratkin but the plot plan was to allow them to rediscover it and because of that the runes were “coded” to be fairly […]
The sound of cold steel
The Quentin Tarantino flavour to WET shows no signs whatsoever of fading into the background as the game preps for launch. In the latest trailer for it – The sound of cold steel – Bethesda focus on the soundtrack for the game. They brought in Brain Lebarton from Beck’s band and his music director to […]

The Zanpakutō of the Shinigami and Vizard
Bleach is great, but it has an ever-expanding cast list I do sometimes struggle with the names. Combine that with the names of the Zanpakutō, and it quickly gets complicated! I’m up to 234 of the anime and, with some research, have put together a list of Shinigami, Vizard, and the Zanpakutō we know about. […]
Pepsi Mario
AOL’s surprisingly good and anime-flavoured gaming blog Kotaku has been sent this picture of a scene from Mario built with Pepsi boxes in a Safeway in California. It’s pointed out that this isn’t something Pepsi paid to do. This is a project that some staff in Safeway took to their heart and did anyway. Kotaku […]
