We’ve seen a lot of Mass Effect cosplay. I really like the Grunt cosplay in this post. In this video, we get to see how a really impressive Garrus Vakarian suit was put together. We might have flirted with sexy before with this Samara cosplay. What about Miranda? Now, I might have disliked the character […]

Check out the official Project London trailer
Project London is an indie sci-fi film. It’s made by volunteers and there’s been almost no budget. Heck, you can see their funds and donate if you wish at their IndieGogo page. You can see how much money they need. The movie makes use of the open source Blender software to do 3D animations. Blender […]
Fluxx In SPAAAACE!
Just now the aim of the game is to find a Monolith full of stars, only when you finally play the Monolith card (which you stole from the future) alongside your Stars one of your opponents reminds you that your Time Traveller is currently suffering from Brain Parasites preventing you from winning. By the time […]
Ezio Auditore – the female assassin
This is a great example of a cosplayer shaming all our attempts at putting together a Halloween costume this year. I also wonder, as Assassin’s Creed edges towards its final chapter, whether Ubisoft might be pondering a new series with a female assassin as the central character. Check out this photo of Lauren Bang as […]
Level 1 characters attempt to duel
Have you ever played in a RPG that featured game mechanics that hated level 1 characters? It’s the sort of game that newly created heroes have very little chance of hitting anything but the lowest level enemies and no chance of hitting – say – another level 1 character? Games like that spring to mind […]
Armored Trooper VOTOMS: Pailsen Files movie review
Armored Trooper VOTOMS is an anime series with a long history; 52 TV episodes that started in 1983, plenty of movies and games. VOTOMS is a mecha fighting series – but unlike Gundam the mecha are not giant space robots, they’re suits about 4 metres tall, they’re about as “man size” as powered fighting suits […]
Karafuru / Colourful review
It’s easy to see why Colourful is an award-winning anime. It’s the sort of feature-length that would appeal to judges. We start in a way station; somewhere between somewhere else, with people – or shapes of people – shuffling around before taking a line, getting a mysterious ticket and moving on. There’s an exception; a […]
Sugar Skulls: Halloween tea?
These sugar skulls might be too good just to save for Halloween. I think if your gaming group has moved on from huge amounts of soft drinks and enjoys a cup of tea or three throughout the scenario then I’d recommend these haunting sweeties. Does it come as that much of a surprise to discover […]
Momo e no Tegami – A Letter to Momo review
A Letter to Momo is written and directed by Hiroyuki Okiura. Okiura is known for his work on Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, Paprika and Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. I was lucky enough to watch A Letter to Momo on the big screen in Edinburgh’s The Filmhouse and it was introduced by Jonathan Clements. Clements […]
The Princess Bride, reunited
Here’s a classic photo in the making. We have the cast of The Princess Bride staring together in a photo for Entertainment Weekly. The film came out in 1987. I really like the tributes to Peter Falk and Andre the Giant. I’m not so keen on the absence Fred Savage. Couldn’t he make it? It […]
