The following is just a sample. Do check out Stevapalooza for the full thing.

In case you’ve had a busy week, like me, and you’ve not had a chance to watch the trailer for The Beast Below – here it is. Unless, that is, you’re like my Dundee friends and consider these trailers to be spoiler rich nasties and think the BBC should be shot for running them anytime […]

Dr. Horrible, act 1, as 8-bit NES sim

April 7, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A geek with the funky moniker of DoctorOctoroc has propelled himself to geek god hood by taking the time and skills to recreate act 1 of Joss Whedon‘s Dr Horrible as a (theoretical) 8-bit NES game. He’s even letting you watch in HD or download the soundtrack from a specially created microsite. It’s a great […]

“Who is Princess Leia?” charmingly spoofs Google’s Superbowl ad

April 7, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The busy people at College Humor have a new Star Wars video that’s bound to go viral – at least among we Geeks. It’s a Google/ Star Wars mashup that is a mild mannered spoof of “Parisian Love”. Parisian Love is the video that Google used as its first TV ad ever – the one […]

This is the second collection of Famous Last Words from GameWyrd. It’s a sample of some of the more popular contributions from over 1,200 submissions.

Anime music video for Bohemian Rhapsody

April 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Leiji Matsumoto is the brains behind such historic anime successes as Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999. He’s also the chap who worked with Daft Punk in 2003 for the full-length film Interstella 5555. I much prefered Intersella 5555 to Space Battleship Yamato and the others. Why? It’s the anime style; what […]
