Here’s an interesting battle. I say “interesting” in the sense of academic and “I’d watch from a great distance” as it’s certainly not a conflict I’d want to be close too. Who would win when it came to Sith versus Aliens? Could Darth Maul take out a host of Xenomorph aliens? Could Darth Vader take […]

Joss Whedon’s alternative opening to The Avengers
The Avengers could have had a different and much darker opening sequence. Not only was it written and planned, it was shot and filmed. It begins with the aftermath of the battle and with the predictable blame game starting up. It also shows the tensions in the relationship between Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria […]
Cubicle 7 announce Kuro: The Spirits Have Awoken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLYfaNLHExQ Kuro is a new game – presumed RPG – from Cubicle 7. It’s a game that blends the Japanese horror style with a dark and near future. Cubicle 7 have experience in this area as they already produce Qin The Waring States. They also cite Yggdrasill – a Norse mythology game and Kelita – […]

Your very own Cthulhu pocket idol
Every Cthulhu cultist should have a big altar. That’s a given. The altar would ideally be set in a crypt, cave (by the sea) or perhaps ancient temple that belonged to a long lost tribe not recognised by modern science. What about those times you need to check with Cthulhu wisdom when you’re not near […]
Underneath the Stormtrooper helmet
Have you ever wondered what a Stormtrooper looks like under their helmet? There’s no reason to wonder, really, clone troopers look alike (like Boba Fett, infact). The first Stormtroopers are renamed clone troopers. There were other clone lines, though, such as from Coruscant and Centrax-2. By the Battle of Kamino in 12 BBY, the Fett […]
