A peak inside Minions: NAU

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Minions: NAU is best described as a “Mini monster manual” for Mutants & Masterminds (3e). The NAU, the North American Union, are the remains of the American military. The NAU is one of the points of light in an otherwise dark and turbulent part of the post-Event world. The NAU are Apoc high-bred genetic super-soldiers. […]

Assassin’s Creed Revelations Special Edition will be GAME exclusive

June 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here in the UK, high street retailer and owner of funky domain name GAME have won the contest to woo Ubisoft. In addition to French kisses this means that the company will be the only bricks store that will be able to sell the Special Edition version of Assassin’s Creed Relevations. What’s in the pack? […]

Swype 3: Search and Poke for Android tablets

June 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m a big fan of Swype. It’s a custom keyboard for Android phones – and now, with Swype 3, for tablets. The bad news for iOS users is that these sorts of apps are illegal in the Apple ecosystem because they replicate features that Apple themselves wish to provide (generally, in Apple’s eyes, to preserve […]

Mass Effect 3: Fall of Earth

June 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

How is the urge to go back and play Mass Effect 2? Even though there’s probably new DLC you can play though. Even though… er, probably, maybe, we might get to import our Shepards from the end of ME2 into the beginning of ME3? I screwed up. ME2 was my first Mass Effect and I […]

100 seconds of Cowboys & Aliens

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There was a nice long trailer of Jon Favreau‘s Cowboys & Aliens film… the result? The internet has many copies. The movie is due out shortly; my local cinemas already have the posters up and this blogger lives in Scotland. That’s miles away! It’ll star Harrison Ford,  Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Keith Carradine […]

A social media view of PaizoCon 2011

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is Geek Native’s Storify for PaizoCon 2011. Why Storify? This blogger is based in Scotland. PaizoCon is not. Using social media it’s possible to view the conference through the eyes of the internet. The Storify software, which makes use of tech to embed people’s tweets, photos and status updates, is supposed only to use […]

Reddit rebellion over BF3?

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This geeky roleplayer is not in the Battlefield franchise and there was every chance that BF3 would have sailed past without me noticing – except, EA seems to have botched their “game blance” saving through like some rookie GM. The result? The powerful Reddit community is planning an open revolt. How did EA mess up […]

Alice: Madness Returns trailer

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you remember the original American McGee’s Alice? It came out in 2000. The game was set in a rather sinister Wonderland. You see; after Through the Looking-Glass Alice’s home burns down, killing her family and leaving her alone. Alice eventually looses her mind and winds up in Rutledge Asylum being treated by one Doctor […]

Legend of Zelda Chess Set crafted by legendary hands

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ben Howard spend three months of his awesome life hand-crafting a complete Legend of Zelda Chess set. Upsettingly he says he’ll only get one test drive of this colourful wonder before he has to send it away. I assume he’s not putting it down… and that this was a commission.

Xbox Live to be baked into Windows 8

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brier Dudley of the Seattle Times had the chance to talk to Mike Delman of Microsoft at E3. He dug out some interesting responses. It sounds as if the chances of an “Xbox Phone” are even higher than before although it may be a “certification” model that Sony are currently using with Android. Here’s the […]
