Geek Native has pointed the spotlight on Sillof’s Star Wars modded models before. It’s easy to do it again with his new line of “Serial Wars”. Conjure up memories of the golden oldie serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers and that’s what we mean by “serial”. The result is a line of Star Wars […]

Cute baby Wampa
This rather cute baby snow wampa was created by Scrumptious Delight (Flickr link) for an art show called “Stitch Wars Strikes Back” which will run in Lauderhill, FL, from August 12th to Sep 25th. Scrumptious Delight has an Etsy stall and perhaps if there’s enough demand we’ll have wonderfully handcrafted and cute baby wampas zooming […]
Pathfinder outsells Dungeons and Dragons
You may have noticed that Paizo’s Pathfinder line went toe to toe with Wizards of the Coast in the ENnies. Paizo’s Bestiary 2 beat WotC’s Monster Vault in the Best Monster/Adversary group, Pathfinder: Inner Sea World Guide beat WotC’s Dark Sun Campaign Setting in Best Setting and in fan’s choice for best publisher; Paizo Publishing […]
Making a mini-cannon from a BBQ lighter
I’m sure this is a challenge we’ve all wrestled with. You have a BBQ lighter. You’ve a large collection of airsoft pellets. Sounds good? But you’ve no way of using your BBQ lighter to fire those airsoft pellets with geeky vengence. Good news! This helpful video will walk you through the steps needed to transform […]
The Trollface train
I can’t tell you much about this picture – but I wanted to share it. This scary train was surfaced by a Russian LiveJournal account without any credit to any artist. It’s described as “trollface”. I can certainly see trolls with faces in there! I rather like “trollface train” as a title for it. Checking […]
Batman Dinosaur
How’s this for a mashup? Batman plus dinosaur. Dinosaur plus Batman. This phot was taken in Pittsburgh USA along with the suggestion that it’s part of the city celebrating the filing of Batman Rises there. Let’s hope it’s not a fake like the Catwoman photos that whisked around the internet a few days ago. Photo […]
Bloodshot review
Bloodshot is a vampire novel from Cherie Priest. Back in July I was able to interview Cherie about Bloodshot. It’s a few weeks later so time to share a reviewers thoughts on her book. I doubt I would have picked Bloodshot up from the shelves simply because it is another vampire novel. Harsh? Perhaps. As […]
Comiket bans sexy cosplay
Comiket, aka the Comic Market, is the world’s largest fair for self-published comic books. It’s held twice a year in Tokyo and has grown from some 600 visitors in 1975 to over half a million. Apparently with concerns about public indecency offences in mind the organisers have banned sexy cosplay. This is somewhat odd as […]
D&D song: Tonight
This is a rather fetching song. It has charisma. It’s cute. It’s about D&D. Our singer songwriter is an actual D&D player who writes that she’s used the game to detach herself from aspects of real life. I think escapism is a healthy reason to roll the die. I also think this song needs a […]
RAGE story video
Have a watch of this video. It’ll introduce you to Bethesda Softwork’s Rage. It’s a shooter but we’re hoping for Bethesda’s typical storytelling style. The video is over two minutes long. It’s a mini-story. It’s actually an ad. I think Bethesda ae being bold and confident in pushing out such an advert. I supect this […]
