The faces of famous robots

September 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This charming poster was created by the designer Daniel Nyari Nyari was born in Roania, grew up in Austria and now lives in New York. In addition to his art talent he clearly has good taste in sci-fi too.

A look inside the stonepunk RPG: Cavemaster

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Cavemaster was a successful Kickstarter project from Jeff Dee. The game positioned itself as a “stonepunk” RPG – playing on the steampunk evolution from cyberpunk. Players could take on the roles of hunters, gathers, warriors, shaman and other stone age classes, the game would feature historitically accurate creatures alongside magic and other fantasy rules. The […]

If this funding project fails – we’ll keep your money

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

I’m most familiar with Kickstarter even though it’s yet to launch in the UK (the autumn, I’m told – seems like they’re running tight on time) but the premise is very clear; if the project fails then supporters don’t spend their money. Isn’t IndieGoGo the same? No? Step forward the controversial James Desborough and the […]

Devin Night’s awesome Tabletop Forge tokens

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I backed the Tabletop Forge Kickstarter at a level where the pledge reward included a custom token. Tabletop Forge is an impressive Google+ Hangouts app for roleplayers. It allows gamers to have the tabletop gaming experience without actually all being at the same tabletop. Google+ Hangouts provide the impressive video functions and the Tabletop Forge […]

Doctor Who: Eggs and Christmas

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This post is speculation. It follows on from the question Are the Lights Going Out? and the theories Is the Doctor becoming a Dalek? and Are the Weeping Angels Attacking Earth and Turning Lights Out Across Time?. We don’t know. It’s all just theory and guess work – but if you’re not up to date […]

Anime on Demand cancels payments

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I subscribe to Anime on Demand. It’s a chance to watch legally streamed anime online and access shows I would never otherwise have access too. It’s a great deal for Viz Media as I only tend to access the service when I’m staying overnight in a hotel for business travel. If they have enough subscribers […]

Hungry Hungry Koopas

September 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Take a fantastic game, a game that requires skill, intelligence and maturity – a game like Hungry Hungry Hippos – and challenge yourself to make it better. That’s exactly the challenge Donald Kennedy rose to. The toy maker dabbles in making iconic video game characters come to life as models. It’s a skill he has […]

Picture this… a bad idea

September 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some wonderful art from Nebezial. Have you done this? Not sneak up behind the Joker while he’s tinkered with a bomb – but recognised the situation, failed to register it entirely and go ahead with your original idea? Bad idea.

The most dangerous unboxing ever

September 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some people may have grown tired of unboxing videos. I understand why. That said; someone can always build a better box. Combine that mysterious box with the fact that it was sent to Valve, the makers of some wonderful computer games, and suddenly the unboxing gets interesting again. Could this be an unboxing for science, […]
