For work and for this blog I do try and keep an eye open on growing internet trends and memes. Here’s one: Hey Moshi from MoshiMonsters. They’re encouraging viewers to upload Hey Moshi videos to YouTube and it seems to be working. The second video in this post made the most popular YouTube videos update […]

Music for roleplaying
I wish “Music for Roleplaying” had been one of the first sections I added to GameWyrd as perhaps it would have had a higher profile and been more successful. I still think the internet would benefit from a music database/recommendation service for gamers and scenes. Lately sites like Last.fm and Spotify have helped though. Last.fm […]
Doctor Who clip: Vampires in Venice
I’ve been to Venice and the city is a great choice for both vampires and Doctor Who. There is a risk of spoilers below but the episode is called Vampires in Venice. I’ve mixed feelings about this clip. I think they’re erring up towards the positive. I like the William Hartnell clip. “Tell me the […]
Doctor Who clip: First minute of The Eleventh Hour
I was under the impression that the BBC were going to give us the first 60 seconds of the Eleventh Hour. I’ll have to go back and re-read their blog post. What we’ve got is the first 43 seconds. I feel as if we’re due another 17 seconds! This is the first of a few […]
Big head alien USB
Hmm. This USB stick isn’t at all my taste but it strikes me as an excellent joke present for someone – or, perhaps, a statement to make on the office desk. It’s the way the mouth appendage bobs back and forth that makes this alien that degree of speshal. It lights up too.
One does not simply [insert] into Mordor
This week I posted a visual, geek, pun type joke – One Does Not Simply Walken To Mordor. Turns out I’m way behind the times. There are loads. Loads of “One does not simply [something] into Mordor. Many of the sites hosting these pictures were awful. Pop-ups and dodgy links. Urgs. None of them cared […]
Scott Pilgrim vs The World trailer
Scott Pilgrim versus The World is a comic by Bryan Lee O’Malley. Our hero is a chap called Scott Pilgrim who must defeat the seven (not eleven) evil exes in order to win his dream girl Ramona Flowers. In the movie Michael Cera plays Scott Pilgrim, Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Ramona and its directed by […]
Mario in a Michelangelo Nintendo mashup
Some artists are not only blessed with great artistic talent. Some artists have geek insight and cunning. Step forward Kordian Lewandowski. “Game over” is carved from polystyrene foam and based on Michelangelo’s Jesus and Mary. Yes, Mario is Jesus and the Princess is Mary. I’m sure someone will complain about that. (Hat tip to Design […]
Games Workshop unleashes the Golden Demon again
Games Workshop have announced the North American Golden Demon painting competition for Baltimore, MD, this year. The day long event will be held at the Baltimore Convention Center on August 21st. John Shaffer, who has been judging the event for 8 years, thinks Golden Demon is different from other competitions. Talking to trade press, he […]
Geeks with Garages – bring on the style
These clever photo tarpaulins put an end to geek free garage doors. After all; why should a classy geek be content with a set of peeling, dull, painted garage doors. Why not have a temple? Or a robot? Thanks to Style Your Garage dot com geeks can now style their garage with grace!
