Okay, it’s not called the “weapon-gun of doom” as the official name for this weapon is the “Zombie-X exterminator”. Obviously. What do you think about the chainsaw attachement? Is that really going to cut it? Excuse the pun. Here’s another thought; do you want simple and re-usable weapons for the zombie apocalypse or do we […]

Wastelander Panda
This video is all about the last panda coping in an a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s more Kung Fu Panda than a wildlife show, though, as the teaser below makes all too clear. This is a proof of concept for a TV show. That’s right; this might actually make it off the internet and onto broadcast […]
NeverDead teasers
The hero is Bryce Boltzman who was cursed with enternal life after daring to challenge the Demon King once before. The game is expected to play heavily on the “can’t die” aspect for Byrce – look to him using his own limbs as clubbing weapons, or throwing his gun holding hand into a pile of monsters and then pulling the tigger and he may even throw his head up onto a roof…
Don’t show the players: Archers are fast
Did someone tell you that the problem with archers is that they’re a bit slow? Do you have game mechanics that insist you’ll spend one round firing an arrow and another around knocking the next one? That sounds familiar to me. This looks like a video that your GM didn’t want you to see. Russian […]

Doctor Who writers Russell T. Davies and Phil Ford are teaming up to write “Wizards versus Aliens Aliens vs Wizards” for CBBC. That’s the Children’s channel on BBC. The show is being backed by FremantleMedia Enterprises with the goal of taking the 12-part series international. Aliens vs Wizards pits Tom Clarke, a young wizard, against an […]

Here’s the interesting bit – each figure comes with a card that activates some downloadable content for Mass Effect 3. Sadly this will be region locked to the United States. These figures are available on […]
D&D Virtual Table review
Wizards of the Coast have a new virtual table for their D&DI subscribers. It’s in beta. If you’re not a D&DI subscriber then a friend who is can get you a beta invite code to use for a while. This is a review of a still in beta product. Technology has been a problem for […]
Make a speaker for your phone out of a beer can
This is an interesting effort from Red Stripe (the Jamaican beer people) that seems to be targeted to electronics geeks looking for a “just because we can” style of project. I think it’s rather clever because it hides tech in every day items. I’m very much reminded of this sneaky robot that lived in a […]
Fantastic Star Wars Galaxy teaser pictures
One of my favourite animators and illustrators is Patrick Schoenmaker from the Netherlands. He manages to score some desirable gigs and is often kind enough to share some teasers via his blog. Check out these illustrations from the animated Army of Darkness series as an example. Schoenmaker has been working on Topps’ Star Wars Galaxy […]
