Here’s a neat example of live action stop motion. Yup! Using people in your animations must require lots of volunteers with lots of patience. This isn’t just a stop motion of some Pac-man animations. They play an entire game; maze levels and animations and all. What did you make of the sound effects?

Zombie Apocalypse: animated Kirby Krackle music video
Woot – zombies in a music video. Animated zombies too. If you’re a fan of then you can buy from iTunes. Not quite sure why Kirby Krackle is described as “nerd rock” because this clearly isn’t rock. What do you think? Did you notice it too? Frankly, this song would be worth blogging about just […]
UNSC ManCave for Halo Reach
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Microsoft are really pushing Halo Reach. I suspect it’s important to them that it’s successful and that the community accepts it. One fan – aka Donkiekong76 – is so hyped about Halo: Reach that he’s turned his basement into an UNSC ManCave for Halo Reach. He’s certainly pro […]
Dancing Mind Control ad for the Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung seems to be throwing everything at promoting their Android phone, the Galaxy S. I don’t blame them; it’s not just that the iPhone is still a roaring success, but that firms like HTC are taking full advantage of the market turmoil. This video (called ‘Cute Girl Has A Catchy Dance’) is clearly intended to go […]
My Best Friend is a Wookiee
Do you use Wookiee or Wookie? At first, I thought the title “My Best Friend is a Wookiee” was an attempt to avoid a lawsuit and help Tony Pacitti write about his Star Wars fandom without the darkside of Lucas Films getting involved. Then I noticed that Wikipedia also uses the double-e spelling: Wookiee, so perhaps […]
Sauron’s Baby Pictures
They said that even from an early age it was clear that Sauron was destined for greater and more evil things. Heh! This find comes to us via Buzzfeed. If you want to subscribe to an RSS digest of Buzz then I recommend mine! Get it here.
Support the RPG industry
Google’s new Priority Inbox is digging up age old starred emails. It’s surfaced a campaign I tried to start in 2005 at GameWyrd. This was an anti-pirate campaign. A pro-RPG industry campaign. Back in 2005 – and today as well – I was upset at the number of authors who’d write a fantastic product for […]
Midichlorian Rhapsody
Can’t get enough of the sci-fi musicals we’ve been treating ourselves too? No? Good! Yes? Too bad! Stepping up to the microphone next are those tiny little creatures that many Star Wars fans like to pretend were never mentioned. That’s right: the midichlorians. They’ve been joined on the karaoke by the legendary Queen who has […]
Error: Cuteness overflow
We first visited Spiritgreen and his designed with the D&D inspired Twenty O’clock t-shirt that reigned on Teefury for a day. Now we’ve got a second design; just a geek, over on woot (and thankfully for more than a day) with Error: Cuteness overflow. The editors choice badge you’ll see there means it featured on […]
More SyFy brand work
What do you think of the rebranding from the Sci-Fi channel to the SyFy channel? I hear some grumbles. To be honest, though, I hear more grumbles about the content (not Sci-Fi enough) than how well the rebranding was done. This might be because there are few sci-fi geeks in adland or it might because […]
