Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy and (technically) Deus Ex: Human Revolution, announced they’re working on another RPG. This other RPG is still a secret insofar that they’ve not officially announced a name. I think. There is a website at cc2012.square-enix.co.jp. The sub-domain “CC” might make you think “Crystal Chronicles“. The trailer – yes, […]

Yum. 8-bit beer!
What’s not to like? 8-bit hommage and a pale ale from Tallgrass Beer. The company uses a “Hop Rocket” to infuse the character of Australian Galaxy Hops into an American Pale Ale. Ther’s even a video for it – using paper stick puppets to create a classic 8-bit game. Stick with it because there’s a […]

Is this Jenna-Louise Coleman’s companion costume for Doctor Who?
Taking us by surprise – especially this blogger who was about to step into a big business meeting when Twitter started to buzz – the BBC announced soap actress Jenna-Louise Coleman as the next companion for Doctor Who. Jenna-Louise will take over from Karen Gillan (and we assume Arthur Darvill) in time to have the […]
The World of Dinosaurs turned to music
The processor that can alter pitch in vocals, known as Auto-Tune, was originally designed to disguise off-key inaccuracies in recorded performances. I imagine they use something similar to produce this sort of musical mashup. Featured in the World of Dinosaurs, part of Symphony of Science, are the shows Dinosaurs Alive, the BBC’s “How to Build […]
How to build your own vortex cannon
It turns out that building your own vortex cannon isn’t very hard at all. In a cracking video, a pair of students demonstrate just how easy it is to build a the cannon – but also illustrate it’s not the most powerful cannon in the world. I like the video because it feels real. It’s […]
Starcraft spawns: Nerdy and I Know It
I know. I know. There’s a huge risk in posting yet another LMFAO Sexy and I Know It Parody. You can comment below to let me know whehter this was a good call or not. In this parody we see a group of nerds going head to head in a battle of Starcraft. I suspect […]
Cute Star Wars AT-AT bag
Entertainment Earth, a favourite shop for geek cred, is accepting pre-orders for a rather cute AT-AT. The bag, described as a “back buddy”, is 19 inches call, 6 inches wide and has two pouches. It’s expected to be available in July. I’m not sure it’s as geeky as the Yoda beanie hat, though!
Jormungand trailer
Animation studio White Fox, the company behind Steins; Gate, are producing this (and a second series) of Jormungand. The anime features an unofficial arms dealer called Koko Hekmatyar, who works outside the law, with a team of ex-military bodyguards. Jonah is a new recruit to the team of body guards, but the child soldier seems […]
Kendra of the North
Artist Jeffrey Thomas is a talent I admire. Based in Burbank, CA, United States he is able to create some of the most visually impressive characters I know. Kendra of the North is a series that Thomas has posted without comment. We’re left to hope it’s a commission or something similar for an animated series. […]
