Hulk stars in the 4th Avengers trailer

February 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This is a two minute plus trailer for The Avengers. What’s rare about this trailer is that it doesn’t just feature Hulk but it’s got the Hulk in some pretty impressive scenes. I had thought, without spoilers, Black Widow’s tactic might have been to get the Hulk to chase her and then run in the […]

Aion: The battle between the Elyos and the Asmodians

February 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Popular, action and team focused, online roleplaying game Aion went free to play in Europe yesterday. It seems to have been a popular event. The hosts are keeping the spotlight shining on the game today by releasing two videos that share different opinions on the conflict between the Elyos and the Asmodians. I watched the […]

GAME cancels Mass Effect 3 pre-orders. Where else can you pre-order the N7 Collectors Edition?

February 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Eurogamer has the worrying news that GAME will not be stocking Mass Effect 3. In fact, GAME will not be stocking any EA game beyond SSX. This is a blow for all UK Mass Effect fans. GAME was one of the few retailers in the UK that were taking pre-orders for the N7 Collectors Edition […]

Microsoft’s secret Xbox: Codename Durango?

February 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Is there an “Xbox 720” on the way and is the secret Microsoft project operating under the codename Durango? Perhaps so. On Feb 15th, Kotaku posted about multiple sources claiming that the next gen console from Microsoft was part of a project called Durango. Game company Crytek have said they’re working on next gen games. […]

Solar destruction or leap year correction?

February 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Which would happen first? The solar destruction of the planet or enough leap year corrections to finally and accurately align the calendar? Sounds like a leading question? Yup. This video digs into what a leap year actually is, when they happen (not every 4 years) and why. Also, according to custom, February is when women […]

World record paper airplane distance throw

February 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The current world record for the distance a paper airplane has travelled from a single, simple, throw was set by Stephen Kreiger in 2003. The paper airplane travelled 207 feet and 4 inches. In this video you’ll see Joe Ayoob throwing a plane (a John Collins design) 19 feet and 6 inches further than that. […]

Street Fighter… Monopoly

February 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

USApoly has some pretty cool Monopoly franchises on their books. They have Futurama Monopoly, Star Trek Klingon Monopoly and Risk Monopoly. That monopoly range is expanding. Capcom have confirmed that Street Fighter monopoly is on the way. Interested? There’s a problem. There are too many Street Fighter characters for the game designers to work with. […]

Dr Joan Watson

February 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

When CBS announced, right after the success of the BBC’s Sherlock, that they would be doing a modern day Sherlock series I suspected they might prove to be very similar. In fact, I wondered whether CBS was copying the BBC. Was that wrong of me? Perhaps… but I surmise that I wasn’t the only one! As it […]

Roleplaying movie alert: Unicorn City trailer

February 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Unicorn City is coming to the cinema screen – well, some of them. Hopefully it makes it out of America. It might as it’s won best feature at the Chicago Comedy Film Festival (oh, at GenCon – which suggests gamers like it). Forget Wizards of the Coast – action begins at Warlocks of the Beach […]
