WizKids win Injunction against Tree House Kids Heroics

August 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Zerboz are a range of 1″ tall, fully sculpted & painted figures in blind packaging designed for kids. There’s a Marvel range and a DC one. Previously, Tree House Kids used the word “Heroics” to describe the range. Now, Heroics is a general word from the dictionary but it’s also awfully close to HeroClix. HeroClix, […]

40 games confirmed for Xbox Live on Windows 8

August 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Windows 8 is creating debate among the gaming community. Valve are worried about the prospect of a Windows 8 store being an alternative and a pain in the butt for Steam. Others worry whether the shift Windows 8 represents is pro or anti-gaming. Microsoft, though, have been busy stressing that there will be great interaction […]

The last in the mini web series, Pond Life, is out. It’s the longest yet – breaking the dreaded 90 second mark and coming in at an amazing 1:34. This is also the Pond Life that sets the scene for Asylum of the Daleks by bringing us up to date with how well Amy and […]

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan “sing” Doctor Who

August 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Imagine what would happen if Matt Smith and Karen Gillan tried to sing the opening credits to Doctor Who? Wonder no longer and watch the video. As you can see/hear. The word “sing” is used in the generic sense. I suspect this video, from Buzzfeed, might have been carefully saved from last year when the […]

A Predator hunting Na’vi on Pandora

August 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a series of related illustrations by a deviant artist using the name High Dark Templar. Given we can all work out the fate of the poor ol’ blue skinned Na’vi I think there’s certainly some “dark” to this series… … but what a series it is. Some fantastic colour and style here! Click […]
