Toy monster is a toy guardian
This is a device for all gamer parents. In fact, erm, it may just be a device for gamers. This household is child free but there’s still a large number of plushie toys that could do with a guardian like this. Simply put; a cool storage device would encourage people (kids, even) to store their […]
Bleach 280
Since very popular Bleach fansite Bleach7.com is down for the count I thought it might be a good idea to put a placeholder live for Bleach 280. Why? For many fans this will be the first Bleach they’ve had to go looking for without Bleach7.com. Let’s hope 280 is a good episode! This isn’t a […]
Are there investors circling Ubisoft?

Mega Man Universe trailer is pretty funky
Capcom have released a trailer for the re-invented Mega Fan franchise. We don’t have much information but it looks a bit like Capcom are trying to tap into retro culture and unearth themselves a franchise with both creditability and some cash earning skills. That said; the trailer is pretty cool.
Titan Books launches new site – celebrates with exclusive FireFly pictures (via @titanbooks)
Titan Books, who publish a wide range of must-read geek material, have a shiny new website. The design of it very much reminds me of a professional blog. That’s a good thing in my opinion. It’s more than just a shop window. In fact, it looks like Titan is simply linking through to Amazon in […]
