Stunning 3D light show

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This use of a 3d projector in Kharkov in the Ukraine is simply stunning. Watch the volume as you play this as the impressive light effects are accompanied by some awfully loud – but appropriate – music. For another example of awesome 3D lightwork check out these giant ants in Amsterdamn Cool, huh? What did […]

Pac-man cutting board

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Pac-man‘s fame star seems to be more immortal. Just how much attention did he get in Scott Pilgrim vs The World? Loads! He also gets a fair bit of attention on Etsy. Check out this £100+ chopping board. Sound extreme? It does have so much geek cred. The debate is whether the ghost is Blinky […]

Age of the Dragons trailer

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I like to imagine the elevator pitch for this one. “Moby Dick… except with dragons!” I’m sure that would get the message of the film across before the elevator reached the Hollywood exec’s office. I also really hope I enjoy the film. I’ve read Herman Melville‘s classic and after an awkward start you quickly get […]

Cute Baneling plushie

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Baneling is a critter from StarCraft that causes all sorts of problems by exploding on you. Despite this; they remain something of a fan favourite and it was only a matter of time before we saw them on Etsy. Sorry, if you were looking to buy from this BoRoShan then you’re out of luck […]

Doctor Who Bloopers

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Doctor Who featured heavily in a section in Robert Webb‘s “Great TV Mistakes”. An up to date and rather geeky blooper reel show. Thankfully, the ever present and lightening quick Blogtor Who has managed to track down each clip and compile them into a single vid. Thanks Cameron. Have a watch. Do you think they’re […]

Here’s the summary folks; Microsoft are putting the price for Xbox Live up. For gamers in the US, Canda, UK and Mexico the fee will rise. As you’d expect we’ve the US details first. The price hike comes into force on the 1st of November. How much? It’s an increase from $50 to $60. You’ve […]

Avatar: The Last Airbender / Scott Pilgrim mashup

August 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright tweet that this mashup was the best one yet. I’m kinda chuffed that directors like Mr Wright are in touch with the fan movement enough to a) have a twitter account and b) spot the mashups while they’re still hot and new. It’s pretty good. Avatar: The Last Airbender meets […]

August 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sillof’s getting pretty famous. We’ve enjoyed Sillof’s Star Wars and his samurai figures. Now we’ve got his take of Marvel heroes – a steampunk take. Man of Iron Thor Dr. Banner / Mr Hulk The Vision Daredevil The Punisher Captain America

Can a cat play Star Trek: The Game?

August 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an oldie but it’s a goodie. Poor Danforth gets left alone on game night and only has Gloria the cat to play Star Trek: The Game with. A number of questions come to mind. Who will win? Just how is the cat going to roll the dice in the first place? Just how […]

Alien Pez dispenses alien pez

August 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

We don’t have Pez over here in the United Kingdom. At least; I’ve never seen them. However we certainly know what Pez dispenser is. Check out this Alien Pez dispsenser. I do wonder whether squirting alien tabs into your mouth would appeal to everyone though.
