War Photographer: the musical vikings

August 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

File this one under “I found it on YouTube” and it’s a little geeky. Vikings are geeky, right? It’s about 4 years old at this point and from a producer called Jason Forrest. Wikipedia says he’s know for experimental elecrtronica and breakcore. Oh dear. What’s happened to musical jargon. “Breakcore” sounds like a wrestler’s name […]

Twitter friendly bike is @yesiamprecious

August 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

“Yes my precious…” belongs in Lord of the Rings, right? There’s no chance “Precious” might not related to the One Ring but to a bike? Certainly no chance that it could related to a bike with a brain that tweets its feelings to you. You sure about that? How could you not want to know […]

Sexy anime exercises – a bit too much?

August 10, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t mind admitting that I like my anime. I don’t mind admitting that I like my tech. I like my Google Android. I also don’t mind admitting that I should do some more exercise and loose a bit of weight. I think, though, you can take this too far by merging all three of […]

Homer Simpson as Darth Vader

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think Star Wars would have been a slightly different movie had Homer Simpson given the voice to Darth Vader. We can only imagine how that would have worked out. Or can we? As it happens you can start with this video clip with Darth’s voice removed and then sub over our own voice effects. […]

Backstar Warrior trailer rediscovered: Star Wars spin off

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, okay… so this video is pretending to be a rediscovered trailer for “Blackstar Warrior” the Star Wars spin off that never was. Thankfully. I’m pretty sure it would have had a Jar Jar Binks impact on my appreciation on the films had this actually happened. Then again; maybe I’m wrong. What do you think!

Settlers of Catan on the Microsoft Surface

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Joe Engalan, executive director at the Vectorform Game Studio, has been working on Microsoft Surface games for the last 2 and half years. This includes Setters of Catan and this weekend they gave Seattle PI a good long look at the game. Engalan told P. Douglas; “We’re trying to maintain it as a board game […]

Torchwood: The New World

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC and Starz will be working together on the next series of Torchwood. For many it might be the first series of Torchwood they’ve ever seen. This is the series of Torchwood that has to follow Children of Earth. It won’t be easy. In order to get traction in America we can expect – […]

The Supernatural anime trailer

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The CW‘s Supernatural starting Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles is to go anime. The anime will be produced by Mad House for Warner Bros. There’s a website up already but it’s in Japanese except for the pages which say “Coming Soon” – which is about all of them. Of note is the low low price […]

Brian Blessed thanks fans for TomTom victory

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Yes, towards the end of this YouTube clip Mr Blessed does shout out “Gordon’s alive!?” You see; although Brian’s done so much I’ll always remember him first and foremost as Prince Vultan in the 1980 Flash Gorden movie. He’s also been in Doctor Who, Blackadder, The Avengers, Blake’s 7, Space: 1999, Robin Hood, Star Wars […]
