Star Wars metal mashup

July 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This musical mashup from 331Erock is worth four minutes of your time. You’ll pick out more than one of your Star Wars favourites here and so the trick isn’t just the “metalification” of Star Wars but the blending too. Enjoy.

The Hobbit: Kili and Fili picture

July 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Kili, with the dark hair, will be played by Aidan Turner. Fili is Dean O’Gorman. These are two of the youngest dwarves on the mission, born into the royal line of Durin and raised by their stern uncle Thorin Oakenshield. What do you think? Two fan favourites in the making?

Chocolate penguin meltdown

July 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Embrance the Meltdown is an online game from Mars. It’s here to pimp Galaxy, Milky Way and Mars brands as we help three penguins named – yup; Galaxy, Milky Way and Mars – across Thick Shake lake. Thick Shake, you say? That’s right. Mars’ new product is Thick Shake which comes in these three flavours. […]

The Hobbit: Dwalin and Balin pictures

July 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather like this rolling release of characters from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Here we have the dwarves Dwalin and Balin. IMDB gives the credits to Graham McTavish and Ken Stott. Two fine Scottish actors there. In addition, Warner Bros have shared a character description for the pair. “Dwarf Lords in their own right, […]

Picture: Kate Beckinsale as Selene in Underworld: Awakening

July 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Here’s how it all hangs together. The movie was originally called Underworld: New Dawn but now it’s called Underworld: Awakening. Underworld: Awakening is the fourth Underworld film but the second sequel. There was the original Underworld, the first sequel in Evolution and then the first prequel with Rise of the Lycans. The first film, Underworld, […]

Impressive custom dice

July 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I became aware of Dice Creator through Google+. All of a sudden, in my stream of Google+ shares, I started to see some really wicked looking dice. Sometimes these dice were clever – like the Inception dice; dice inside dice. Sometimes the dice were works of art – like the shadow dice. I reached out […]

Saints Row – Professor Genki ad is utterly bonkers

July 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what to say about this ad for Sants Row – The Third. It is an ad. They’re paying to have people watch this. I can tell you this is Professor Genki’s Hyper Ordinary Pre-Order Pack but I can’t helped you with what “Hyper Ordinary” actually means. As for the ad, well, there’s […]

Guilty Crown trailer

July 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

This Guilty Crown trailer is worth watching for two reasons. It looks cool. That’s the first reason. The second reason is that, unless something’s changed, YouTube’s automatic translations via subtitles are live. Click on the CC button to activate. After the outbreak of a virus called “Lost Christmas” that swept through Tokyo in 2029 the […]

More Hobbit Dwarves: Bofur, Bombur and Bifur

July 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s been a few days since we’ve seen a new poster of dwarves from the forthcoming The Hobbit movie. Fear not! We have a new one! Step forward actors Stephen Hunter, James Nesbitt and William Kircher. They are Bofur, Bombur and Bifur. Yes. It’s very weird seeing James Nesbitt has a dwarf.

July 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The One Ring is a new RPG for the Lord of the Rings series that’s coming our way via Sophisticated Games and Cubicle 7. Sophisticated Games will handle the board game side of things and the well-connected Cubicle 7 will be handling the RPG. The first pictures of the RPG, due out in August, are […]
