This has popped up onto my radar because Riot Games show the artistic process behind the creation of the new hero Karma. I love these time lapse drawings. If anyone’s got any insight into the game League of Legends then I’d love to see them in the comments below. Even as a young teenager, Karma […]

The Old Republic: Operation Flashpoint Taral V
This video for Star Wars: The Old Republic looks pretty neat. A crack team of experts go in to rescue a Jedi. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a MMO RPG from BioWare. How old is the Old Republic? It’s set thousands of years before Darth Vader. Initial press releases for The Old Republic said […]
Golf Now – part of an anti superhero backlash?
Hmm. Not sure what’s going on with American TV ads or advertising agencies but there seems to be a bit of a superhero blacklash going on. Just a few weeks ago we had DirecTV poking superheroic fun and now Evolution Bureau are doing something very similar for their client Golf Now. Does anyone with any […]
Uniqlo launch Naruto t-shirt range
Can’t say I normally investigate the Uniqlo website but today Manga UK are running a quick competition to win a Naruto t-shirt from them. Turns out that their new Naruto t-shirt range is pretty funky. I’ve grabbed about half of the total to highlight some of my favourites. Hopefully they’ll do some more anime ranges. […]
More Pockie Ninja screenshots and head scratching teasers
My tiny flat is cluttered with Bleach and Nautro DVDs. Even though I don’t trust myself to start an MMO without getting addicted I’m very interested in NGame’s Pockie Ninja. It’s just so odd. Have they confirmed they’ve got the license for these mega characters yet? I’ve seen speculation that they’re keeping mum about that… […]
Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition and the cute gamer girl advert shock
Annie Leung from the United States of America is in the record books. In particular, she’ll be in the 2011 edition of Guinness World Records – Gamer’s Edition. I had no idea there was such a book. I do now. Guinness has produced a video that introduces Annie Leung and her Guitar Hero III talent. […]
Ride in your very own Dalek
Ever fancied travelling around inside your very own Dalek? Not sure it can happen. However, if you’re able to live your life via your kids – then, well, here’s a happy surprise. The BBC have licensed a battery powered, 128cm tall dalek that drives around, blinks with lights and makes 10 dalek sounds. Who has […]
6d6 Fireball puts the 6d6 RPG under free Creative Commons license
Nottingham based RPG publisher 6d6 Fireball have announced their plans to release the 6d6 RPG system under Creative Commons license. This means other publishers will be able to use the system without cost. They can even publish rules variants along as they credit 6d6 Fireball as the original authors. There is a twist though. Chris […]
British actor to play the new Superman
Watchmen, 300 and Sucker Punch director, Zack Snyder, has picked who he wants to play Superman in the planned 2012 reboot. The reboot already has Christopher Nolan producing as well as David Goyer writing. Now it has the British actor Henry Cavill as Superman. I don’t know Cavill that well. The internet tells me he’s been […]
Snowzilla breathes fire – doesn’t melt
I think Snowzilla is pretty cool. Hats off to Nick and Danna who, in response to being terrorised by snowstorms, made a snowzilla instead of a snowman. Also, rather unlike a snowman, Snowzilla breathes fire. How? A home-made flame thrower! Snowzilla is over 8 feet in height. What’s the best thing you’ve ever made out […]
