It looks like we’ll be lucky enough to get more Red Dwarf! When Dave commissioned the three-part Back to Earth TV special back in 2009 they had no budget but lots of fans. Turns out that the three episodes did really well. It beat both BBC 2 and Channel 4 in viewing figures when it […]

Awesomely cool Batman jewelry
I love it when I find a cool new shop. Introducing SuperHeroStuff which seems to have a whole host of awesomely cool stuff. Er, superhero stuff. Of course, you probably know about these guys already and I’m just playing catch up. Here’s a little collection of Batman jewelry as an example. It’s all neat. Batman […]

Lazy Teenage Superheroes
Here’s a video going viral that deserves to be famous. It’s called Lazy Teenage Superheroes and they say it had a budget of $300. If that’s right then the effects they achieve are pretty awesome. Michael Ashton also gets mega cook points for creating this, directing, editting and making the special effects. Ashton doesn’t star […]

Show how robust the Samsung memory cards are by letting people find the planes and cards […]
LittleBigPlanet 2 in real life

No. This is about Little Big Planet being made real and manifest by the talented team at Escapist Magazine. It’s never wise to check out YouTube comments. This is one […]
Camera attached to an arrow

Turn your home into a Mega Man game
I like this. You can get a pair of sheets (made from Re-Stik™ vinyl, oh yeah) that contain dozens of Mega Man wall decorations. The whole re-stick thing means you can stick them up, remove them and leave no residue. As a result, these decals might be safe for office walls… at least, that’s what […]

Al Seeger is the mastermind behind Point of Insanity Games Studio. The studio, which Al modestly describes as a ‘one man band’, is responsible for some innovative RPG work. Point of Insanity Game Studio’s “MADS” or Mental, Attack, Defense, Skill system began life as a character conversion system but evolved significantly over the years, even […]

Update: A year after this post was written, Wizards of the Coast announced D&D 5e. It will be, in part, crowd sourced. There’s some speculation out there in interwebyland that Wizards of the Coast are working on the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Speculation kicked off with Bill Slavicsek‘s Ampersand article called Icy […]
