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!…

Join the rebellion: Greenpeace blasts VW in “The Dark Side”

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This an awesome spoof by Greenpeace that rides on the success of The Force Super Bowl that Vokswagen famously tested online first. Greenpeace UK are clearly unhappy that the car maker is not towing the line when it comes to CO2 emissions.…

Star Wars: R2-D2 Operation game

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Remember playing Operation? It’s one of those games we played as kids. It’s one of those games we mixed alcohol with as adults and found it was twice as fun. It seems Hasbro might be trying to up the game even further.…

That scene in Star Wars with Nyan cat in it

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nyan cat was in Star Wars, episode IV, but not many people remember it. It’s strange because it’s an important scene and Nyan cat is easy to spot. It’s the scene in which Obi Wan is trying to explain The Force to Luke.…

Stormbikers

June 27, 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.…

The Imerj smartpad

June 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in the evolution of hardware and the convergence of devices then this is shaping up to be a good year. We’ve got laptops like the Fujitsu Lifebook TH40/D moving towards the tablet space but there’s also phone-like devices moving from the other side of the spectrum.…
