Towering Tardis: Doctor Who and the Companions

June 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This infographic just about fits inside the Tardis. Just about. K9 and Kamelion are on this chart creators have done the right thing and counted them as Companions. Got to say; this infographic reminds me of how much I disliked Visior Turlough when I watched the show as a young pre-blogger.…

Does your RPG suffer from female armour syndrome?

June 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I nearly opened this blog post with “I wonder what the figures are…” that would have been a bad start. Let’s return to figure issues later. I wonder what the stats are; the percentage of male gamers who play female characters versus the percentage of female gamers who play male characters.…

Happy Tau Day – 6.28 to you

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Today is Tau Day. You need to think of the American way of putting the month before the date to get 6.28.2011 before that really makes sense. Tau Day isn’t just a “Hey!…

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an odd picture for a Hungarian biker blog to be posting. Okay, yes, it does include what appears to be a bike. It’s the driver and passenger that catch my attention though.…

Norton by Symantec via Captain America

June 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I can’t decide whether this is what we call “branded content” in marketing land. Sure; it’s clearly Norton branded and it’s clearly content but this isn’t Norton’s content. Wht Norton have done is wrap themselves into a behind the scenes look at the Captain America movie.…
