Do the NeverDead teaser videos live up to expectations?

January 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather liked the pitch and artwork from NeverDead. We had a hero who could not die. A world living under threat of a demonic plague. We had action and angst in equal measure.…

He-Man: Masters of the Universe remastered

January 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This cover of the opening theme to He-Man: Masters of the Universe is hard to describe. Heck. It’s hard to imagine. It sounds almost… relaxing. That’s not quite right though. Here’s the challenge; watch the video and leave a comment to describe the style of music used by Advait.…

Follow the adventure with “I built a TARDIS”

January 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I highly recommend finding 17 minutes free to follow the adventures of “SillySparrowness”. Silly Sparrowness is a Doctor Who fan who decides to build her own TARDIS.

This Is Aperture

If you’ve seen The Nightmare Before Christmas then you’ll recall the This is Halloween song. If not; it’s time to watch it. This remake – This is Aperture – has zoomed over the half a million views mark and only popped online a few days ago.…

Clinton Felker’s samurai Star Wars

January 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Clinton Felker’s awesome samurai Boba Fett has been doing the rounds on the blogs again. I can see why – it’s an incredible drawing. It’s well worth checking out his blog as there’s a whole collection.…

Is this spider monster too scary for any LARP?

January 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blogger asked the question Are Air Swimmers any good LARPs?. The answer seems to be no. They’re too fragile. Oh, I suppose a clever team of GMs could have a shark swim through the air as a very clever effect.…
