Every day for nearly a month I’ve checked Amazon to see whether they have the latest Asus Transformer Prime ready for pre-order yet. The TF201 model looks like it’s going to be amazing. It’s a tablet that becomes a laptop. It ships with Android 3.2 but will get the Android 4.0 update soon. Two key […]

The Hobbit trailer is here
It’s here. The Hobbit! Well. Okay. The Hobbit movie isn’t here… but we do now have The Hobbit trailer. What do you think? At a glance I think the movie looks to have captured the differences in feel between The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The first book was always a little more […]
PlayStation 3 controllers for the Sony Tablet S
Sony’s first two Android tablets are the Sony S and Sony P. Previously the difference had been in their shape. The S is wedged shape. It’s not thin like an iPod at all; instead it was designed so that it could sit on your table and be oriented for easy reading. That makes a lot […]
Steampunk Couture: Kato
The increasingly popular Geeks Are Sexy geeky blog found these pictures of the proprietor of the steampunk fashion boutquie Steampunk Couture. This Kato. The pictures come from the store’s Facebook page and I’m sure they’ve been posted because of Kato’s awesome look in the photographs. However, it’s also well worth your while checking out the […]
The Contractor

Fantasy gamers know all too well that if you’re on a retreat from an unholy terror then get onto sanctified soil. What’s why a stained glass display of Silent […]
Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land screenshots
Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is an RPG for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s now due out on the 30th of January, 2012, which is quite a wait since the game was originally announced back in May. It must have taken a while for the stars to align. The game is being produced […]

All around the web today you’ll see the coolest RPG blogs post about Krampus. Here’s Stargazer’s post. So what’s going on? This is part of a Carnival organised by Nevermet Press, that features the impressive work of Steven Austin and is released under Creative Commons. This blogger has no artistic talent what so ever and […]
I Am Alive: Follow the rules and you might survive too
What will Ubisoft do after Assassin’s Creed. A glance at I Am Alive suggests the answer might rest in the post-apocalyptic future. After all – we can see building climbing will be important in the game. Mind you; Ubisoft’s YouTube page describes the game as “downloadable” and the cover says Arcade. It’s hard to imagine […]
Choose Your Own Adventure: Singing Christmas Hedgehogs
We’re all familiar with the Choose Your Own Adventure format made famous by Livingston and Jackson. We’re also pretty familiar with hedgehogs. The twist is to take both to YouTube and mashup the concept. So rather than turning to Page XX to select an action for your hero hedgehog you simply click on the interactive […]
