The 2010 Ennies nominations have been announced
The Ennies may well be the most significant of the RPG industry awards. Certainly, everyone who’s made it through to this round should be very happy with themselves and will hopefully see a rise in sales just because they’re a nominee. You’ll see some of the products marked with HM – these are honourable mentions […]
Cheshire coffee cat
What can I say about this picture other than I’ve filed it under “cool”. # This Cheshire Cat is clearly from – on inspired by – Tim Burton’s Alice. He has that sort of lavicious grin that seems more suited to an adult Alice. What do you think?
TomTom get their hands on Master Yoda
We’ve already had a TomTom advert featuring Darth Vader and there’s a TomTom StarWars AR game. I think that’s pretty impressive stuff from TomTom. It might have been expected but it’s still good to see. Now we’ve Master Yoda taking his turn to record voice directions for TomTom. It goes very well. Master Yoda is […]
Super Mario pavement animation
This is pretty cool – and I’m not even sure how they did it; let’s just say ‘cgi’ and speculate no further. Surfap has animated the first level of Super Mario Bros in, well, a guttery 3D effect. There seems to be a bit of a Mario rush in recent weeks. Can we get enough […]

It works by using millions of micron-sized magnets embedded in each splat of the magnetic Thinking Putty gloop. It looks like it could eat your […]
Someone failed their wilderness survival roll
This video from Samsung (which I’m sure they’re trying to achieve viral success with) reminds me very much of those inexplicable wilderness/survival rolls characters sometimes fail. You can have a hero who can spin on one foot, dodge an arrow, swing their under their arm and still chop the kobold’s head off – and yet, […]
Behold! Pet Star Wars costumes
There’s a point in every dog’s life when he has to make an important call; light side of the force or the dark side? Yoda or Vader? I know! This is silly. You wouldn’t make your female puppy pick one of those two? We need a Princess Leia option. Got it! Once again Think Geek […]
Finance in Facebook: Halifax Holiday Matchmaker
That giant banking group which is Bank of Scotland, Halifax and Lloyds TSB is keen to be in that giant of a social media mashup – Facebook. What they’ve put together, no doubt with agency help, planning, perusading and building, is a Facebook app called the Halifax Holiday Matchmaker. Give it access to your Facebook […]
Assassin’s Creed II: 1/6th scale Ezio collectible figure
Hot Toys have taken the wraps off their latest license. Their 1/6th scale Ezio Collectible Figure is there to lure in a large number of Assassin’s Creed addicts out there – and it looks pretty awesome with those hidden blades in his cuffs. [Show me more!] It’s about 30cm tall and you can move and […]
