Untold CBRPG review

February 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Untold is a RPG with a twist. It positions itself as a CBRPG rather than an RPG for a start. Care to take a guess to what the “CB” stands for? Untold is a Card Based RPG. The goal is to do a way with the endless pile of sourcebooks you need to collect, read […]

Furniture that eats meat will be part of the robot revolution

February 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You have every right to be weirded out by this video. It’s going to show you furniture that eats meat. The furnture traps and consumes insects. Hey, I wonder if you can design furnture that’s particularly keen on eating spiders. That’s just part one. Part two – when things get really scary – is how […]

Magic: the Gathering Tactics – White mana trailer

February 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As means of a re-cap, we’ve managed to get our hands on the black mana trailer and the green mana trailer for Magic: The Gathering Tactics. Today we get our paws on the white mana trailer. White can be a bit fussy at times but no colour beats it when it comes to healing. What […]

Interactive “The Warlock of Firetop Mountain” available for Kindle

February 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

I’m not sure I’ve ever successfully managed to finish The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. I always get lost in the bloomin’ maze of wandering monsters and hidden doors. It becomes a game of attrition then; my finite health and patience against an apparent endless stream of skeletons, trolls and giant rats. If only there was […]

Kneel before ZOD (er, kitchens)

February 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What if General ZOD made kitchens. Rather than bother Superman with general world conquering ambitions imagine that ZOD was content to build high quality kitchen units. Can you imagine that? Maybe this will help. Makes sense. Right? You’d be certain that the workers in the kitchen unit assembly warehouse worked hard, effectively and had your […]

X-Men: First Class trailer

February 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

That’s right folks. We have a trailer for X-Men: First Class. My first thought was whether they can save the franchise after a disappointing X-Men 3.
