Looks like there’s been a bit of a purge in YouTube of all those naughty Dr Who fan accounts (and, no doubt, some shameless attempts to make money) and some of my favourite places to find clips have been yanked. Ah! The YouTube yank. I know you well. However, the dear old BBC have posted […]

Games Workshop sues Curse Network: Let’s us ask why?
British born Games Workshop have unleashed the attack lawyers on the up-and-coming Curse Network. This will not surprise industry watchers of any experience. Games Workshop are fiercely protective of their IP (intellectual property). In fact, Games Workshop are so quick to rip bleeding chunks out of anyone who might be mis-using their IP that I’m […]
But wait! There’s more: A Two Handed Great Sword
Just when you promised yourself you’d never be drawn in by watching another infomercial – someone comes along to demo a two handed great sword. There are some things to know about this video. They like to use hunks of meat to show off the destructive power of the two handed great sword. Might not […]
Free to Download: Signs and Portents 80
Mongoose have published their free to download ezine Signs and Portents. We’re up to issue 80. I’ve taken two book excerpts out from the freebie as well as a chunk of text about The Sword Worlders in Mongoose’s Traveller (the latter follows the magazine embed). Enjoy! This first quote comes from the LBB1 Mercenary book […]
Impressive Fifth Element vocal talent
Remember the impressive opera scene from the Fifth Element? It was made all the better as it was inter-spliced with some good alien butt-kicking action. I gather some parts of the alien opera was achieved through distorting numerous opera singers in real life (men and women). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJB5Rqc1m0Y Step in Laura; aka DisneyDiva7 who manages to […]
The Elephant Bee sound… of doom!
I bet you knew that elephants are pretty smart and that they communicate frequently with one another? Did you know they had a specific “bee warning” sound? They do. Not only that but you can play it back to them and they’ll trudge off and away from the sound. Not in a panic but in […]

Mysterious artist iamamiwhoami posts new, surreal, video
The YouTube user iamamiwhoami is shaping up to be a bit of a surprise hit. A mystery hit too as no one’s certain who iamamiwhoami is. The very name seems to invite us to guess! I know one thing for certain; it’s not me. iamamiwhoami came to the internet’s wider attention in December last year […]

BBC apologises for Doctor Who gaffe
The ending of The Time of Angels was rather ruined by an animated trailer for some non-geek TV program of mind numbing doom. Actually, up here in Scotland we didn’t suffer such a fate (score one for BBC Scotland) but I gather the English and Welsh suffered (anyone from Northern Ireland able to comment?) In […]
