The Metal Gear Solid movie is cancelled
Bad news for the legion of Metal Gear Solid fans comes from GeekTyrant today. The Metal Gear Solid live-action film is dead. Producer Mike De Luca said the live-action was unlikely to progress; “I don’t think it’s going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated […]
After the Blackest Night comes the Brightest Day
DC have pulled the curtain aside to let us see what comes after Blackest Night. In a “live blog” interview between The Source’s Alex Segura and Dan DiDio DC reveal that Brightest Day launches in April as a 26-issue biweekly. The interview is on the short side but confirms that Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi […]
John Malkovich to play The Vulture in Spider-Man 4
There’s a fight over the Spider-Man 4 script that’s threatening to derail the already late movie completely. Sam Raimi wants the villain to be The Vulture. The studio doesn’t think that’ll sell well enough. Raimi doesn’t want a repeat of Spider-Man 3 which was rather confusingly stuffed with villains. What we do know – if […]

Mona Lisa by computer folder icons
This clever little compilation uses folder icons from a computer desktop to re-create a low resolution Mona Lisa. It’s a very low resolution Mona Lisa but still easily recognisable as the Mona Lisa so the art works well. Just a note on ownership and copyright – this discovery comes to us via the Russian e_praksina […]
6 War of Legends characters you should know
In the run up to the launch of War of Legends the team at Jagex have been putting some images of key characters out into public domain. There’s a teaser background snippets for each too. What do you think? Perhaps a slight touch anime but less than the trailer suggested, I think. King Zhou King […]
Sneaky Remorhaz is sneaky
A photo taken from a monthly D&D 4th edition game which depicts our brave hero gladiators dealing with a nasty surprise. The three heroes; a Warforged Paladin, a Tiefling warlock and a Dragonbord warlord are happily – and rather too easily – dealing with some pesky Gricks when the sneaky Remorhaz surfaces behind them.
Airsoft in the snow
This video from Section8 Scotland looks rather impressive. I mean; it makes paintball look rather more fun, well organised and well run than all my attempts at it. It’s not paintball (which, therefore, remains a chaotic day out in my experience) but airsoft! Look at those guns. Pain assult rifles and sub-machine guns. No wonder […]
Rock mushrooms return to demand Half-Life 3
Let’s not beat around the bush; the 8-Bit Pwny CLub has become my favourite game review program of the naughties – er, the noughties. Theweirdone and I are still singing “we are fungus…” I think we might also join the mushrooms in their praise of Valve and Half-Life too. This video ranks as a “must […]
