Does a Nintendo rap suggest that rap has become geekcore or that Nintendo has become hardcore? Perhaps I over analyise this sort of thing but Nintendo raps aren’t common place. This particular rap was written and performed by the same talent – one Mr Alex Hanly. If you like Hanly’s stuff then you can listen […]

Baptism of Fire review
Baptism of Fire is a World War II RPG. The book, available from Amazon, weighs in at 354 pages and makes use of the d20 system. If you’re a fan of military RPGs then it’s certainly worth looking at and I’ll risk the prediction that you’ll end up buying it. The advantage of the d20 […]
Two words: Tron Samurai
Some pictures need very little introduction beyond their title. This is one – this is Tron Samurai. For a brief minute I had to wonder how and why the programs in Tron ended up battling with flying discs instead of more traditional weapons. But, duh, it’s a computer program and they’re simply doing what they […]
Emergency broadcast in Middle-earth
Hungary tested its emergency broadcast system this week by warning of severe and dangerous storms. In order to avoid worrying people by mentioning actual places in Hungary, the emergency system used names from The Lord of the Rings. According to the test catastrophic weather hit Rivendell, Helm’s Deep and Gondor as well as other Middle-earth […]
Three Man Chess
A company based in Nashville, Tennessee, has invented a chess variant that lets three people play at once. The game promises not to compromise the traditional rules, makes clever use of a circular board and diagonal moves. I think the circular board looks fantastic. It’s the sort of thing that would look perfect on someone’s […]
Pomplamoose cover Angry Birds
I think I’ve only played Angry Birds with either the sound or fx on once or twice. I tend to play it when I’m stuck in airports or similar and the gobbling of greedy pigs isn’t appropriate for sharing. That said; I recognise the Angry Birds theme. So do indie, geeky, popular Pomplamoose. They’ve given […]
A trio of new Witcher 2 videos
Today is Witcher 2 day. CD projekt and Namco Bandai are keeping the interest levels up by releasing a batch of videos. We’ve three more and they’re all worth a watch, even if there’s some overlap. In fact, if your rig can cope I recommend slapping the resolution on the videos up and enjoying full […]
Disney Princesses as Fighters
Deviant artist Josh MC has another successful adaptation of the ever-popular Disney Princess meme. Josh has successfully portrayed them as a range of fighters in a high-quality art collection. I don’t know about you from about half of these illustrations give me the wrestling vibe and the other half rather more of a Dungeons and […]
In the Skin of the Universe
I’ve only just found this rather cleverly made Doctor Who tribute video. It’s made from season 5 parts and pretty much keeps the focus on the Doctor and Amy. The video is also wise enough to keep “the silence will fall” warnings as a common theme. What a fantastic bit of fan editing! What do […]
Dead Island’s Island of Beauty trailers show censored scene
For some reason the American board of censors objected to the original box cover and it was censored. The original showed a figure hanging from a palm tree. The replacement showed a zombie. That’s why the latest Dead Island trailer – called Island of Beauty – might be considered a cheeky one. It’s a good […]
