The hard workers over at Ruffian Games have finally found the time to do some blogging and give us an update on Crackdown 2. They say that they’re nearly there. They’re doing the software equivalent of the post coital cigarette. Oh my! That’s not al. They’ve also given Machinima the exclusive on a new teaser […]

A quick introduction to Iron Sky – Space Nazis
It’s been a long wait for Iron Sky – and there’s a lot more waiting to do. The first trailer now has over 1,000,000 views on YouTube and the second, published on the 13th of May, has over 300,000 at the time of posting. The concept is simple. The Nazis have been hiding on the […]
Dr Who – The Hungry Earth trailer
Today is Doctor Who day here in the UK. So let’s have a preview at The Hungry Earth. Are you a fan of Torchwood? Chris Chibnall, who worked a lot on Torchwood, is also the writer behind The Hungry Earth. The Doctor, Rory and Amy arrive in 2020 and at a small village where Dr […]
Star Wars: Cute Bantha statue comes with free Tusken Raider
Okay, I might be calling this post “Bantha statue” and suggesting it comes with a free “Tusken Raider” but I think you can clearly see it’s a statue of a Tusken Raider riding on a Bantha. You see; Banthas are awesome. They’re cute. They’re shaggy monsters. They deserve respect. Do Tusken Raiders deserve respect? No. […]
Burning! Papercraft Fallout 3 laser pistol
The good folks at Bethesda put a lot of effort into their blog. I’ve noticed that Nick likes to give props back to the community. Thanks Nick. On Thursday we had this post about a Fallout 3 laser pistol. It’s made entirely from paper. Probably just as well it doens’t shoot lasers. I would imagine […]
Is this a Pac-man arcade built from Lego? Yes!
The cool things you can do with Lego continue to grow. If you’re willing to discount the electronics (and the little tiny metal feet) then this Pac-man arcade machine is entirely made from Lego. The hero who built it, Big Ben Bricks, aka Ben notes that no Lego bricks were cut to make it. It […]
Takeuchi Taijin’s Olympus PEN viral
Here’s a funky ad – being promoted to geeky and gadget blogs – to promote the new Olympus Pen E-PL1 camera. I’m showing it here because it’s not only stop motion but also because Japanese stop motion animation artist Takeuchi Taijin directed. Rather than using paper or photos for this animation – the team used […]
Mattias Adolfsson’s outlandish Baroque Star Wars portraits
What do you think of when people talk about Baroque? Art? Architecture? Wigs? Steampunk? Bet you don’t think Star Wars. Mattias Adolfsson, drawing from Sweden, may well change your mind. Check out this gallery of Baroque Star Wars portraits. Jabba the powdered / Jabba the Hutt is a personal favourite.
Real life snake and ladder
It’s not quite real life snakes and ladders – there’s only one ladder and only one snake. Mind you; it’s a pretty big snake! Also; not sure whether you’d simply climb the ladder only then to be eaten by the snake and fall to the bottom again. Oh dear – am I turning into a […]
Genesis biopod. Sleep with the fishes. Underwater coffin.
Designer Jack Hokanson invented this pod in honour of his own father. It’s a coffin. It’s a coffin that’s designed to sit at the bottom of the ocean… and be a mini marine habitat. Within minutes of reaching the bottom of the ocean floor the Genesis biopod begins its transformation from urn to habitat. The […]
