It’s amazing how fan activity around Pokemon is fairly strong. I guess they became a part of people’s lives for very many years, became part of geek culture and left their pokemark. I suspect these critters will leave their mark too. Massive bow to deviant artist Gavin Mackey who drew these – who re-imagined these. […]

Triple Ace Games are a RPG house based in the UK. They produce the All for One: Régime Diabolique setting – a cinematic style RPG, with a focus on storytelling set in France at the time of Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu. This France is a land of powerful magic, vile monsters as well as […]
20 gamers to follow on Google+
Do I mean “follow”? I think the Google+ term might be “circle”. Okay, try again; 20 gamers to circle on Google+. Google+ is Google’s attempt at a social network. It’s eary days yet but the signals are good. Not everyone is pleased but many people are. It’s been hard to get in but if you […]
Where are the Mantis Men in Portal 2
There was a time before Portal 2. In that time we only had Portal and teasers from Portal 2. Sometimes we had leak-style teasers; like when someone managed to film a bit of a pre-release Portal 2. That happened with Cave Johnson versus the Mantis Men. It sounded like there would be Mantis Men. So, […]
The Lord of the Rings movie with War in the North trailer
This is why many people will give the LoTR RPG a go. This trailer for the game is a mashup with the Lord of the Rings movies along with War in the North gameplay. Two thumbs up to the skillful blending of the two. I think the official word to describe this trailer is “touchpoints” […]
An introduction to Runespell Overture via Powercards
I’ll say this for Runespell – I was about 1 minute and 30 seconds into watching this video when it occured to me I was actually just watching a card game. It speaks very well to the design of the game that its fun enough to watch for a while. I imagine gameplay will be […]
Dragon Age 2: Legacy trailer
Legacy is a DLC for Dragon Age 2. It deals with the thorny issue of magic seals on a prison beginning to fade – and all the trouble that sort of situation is bound to create. What’s your view of Dragon Age 2? Is it BioWare at its best? Everything you hoped for in a […]
More dwarves from the Hobbit: Oin and Gloin
The teaser posters continue to come out for The Hobbit. This time we’ve got Oin (played by John Callen) and Gloin (played by Peter Hambleton). Gloin is the father of Glimli. John Rhys-Davies was perfect as Glimli. I like connections like this between the two books. Not sure I’m so keen on some of the […]

Potter Chan
Is it Jackie Chan? No. Is it Harry Potter? No. This is Potter Chan. A mashup of kung-fu magic with magic fu. This Hogwart’s action hero video is a fine example of what a sane budget can do. As I find myself posting clever videos every week I can only wonder where mainstream production can […]
