It’s alright to discuss nipple tassels on a geek blog if the context is burlesque. We score geek points for suggesting that “pasties” is a more appropriate word than tassels too… after all, there are no dangly bits here. We certainly score geek points if we bring Star Trek into the burlesque pasties equation. That’s […]

Sex or gaming?
Oddly, this t-shirt was shown to me in a discussion as to whether gamers are easy to pull. I was on my mobile phone at the time and the image was small – but I got the message. However, I thought the final panel showed the gamer at his PC doing… well, doing something else. […]
Fffuuu says: Merchants in RPGs are greedy buggers
I think this ffffuuu-style comic is 100% true. There’s no doubt in this blogger’s mind that this is exactly how merchants, traders and shop owners behave in computer RPGs. I suspect merchants and traders might try this approach in some traditional tabletop RPGs too! What do you think?
The Gameboy dress collection
Haven’t you always wanted to be the centre of attention in a tight dress that looks like a Nintendo Gameboy? Etsy seller Here and There Vintage has a pair of of dresses that might give you cause for pause. What do you think? Red hot, geek chic or is this a critical miss? While you’re […]
If Sith lords did Tron
Roderique Arisiaman has an interesting vision. It’s a vision in which the powerful Sith lord, former Jedi, Darth Vadar explores a virtual world inside an old computer game. This vision is manifest through art. Shiny blue art. Art that can only be called Darth Tron!

It looks %100 professional. It looks like a teaser. It looks like an award entry short. In fact, there are so many […]
Docu-trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2
If you’re worried about spoilers to Final Fantasy XIII then this isn’t the post for you. Read something else. I was really excited about FFXIII before it came out… but eventually gave up, trapped in the farm and fight cycle of the grasslands. This is a sequel. It had (some) of the same characters. We […]
Free to Download: Dark Eon Assassin comic
Mongoose Publishing have a new game on the way. It’ll be a solo boardgame and called Dark Eon Assassin: Tyrant of Acheron. A solo boardgame is an interesting idea. Something to do while you’re waiting for gamers to arrive or when you can’t sleep at night. In the game you’re a genetically bred assassin – […]
Star Wars: The Jedi Path review
The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force feels more like a prop than a book. It’s a wonder to hold and if you find yourself in an old fashioned bookshop with remarkably good taste then you simply have to pick this manual up and hold it. The edges of the pages are […]
Black Knight Sword looks good
Black Knight Sword looks like an interesting computer game; not just because it describes itself as a dark fantasy. It also describes itself as “interactive kamishibai“. If you’re not familiar with kamishibai it’s paper drama theatre and in Black Knight Sword players control the figures. Historically, it was often monks who told the story. Gameplay […]
