Claptrap and tasty

October 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Step forward Mike Elder and Black Sheep Cakes. Elder and Cakes have cooked up this impressive groom’s cake. It looks ever so slightly like Claptrap from Borderlands. I assume a groom’s cake it a lot like a wedding cake but too good for the bride. No?

A study in Pokemon anatomy

October 18, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Imagine if you had arcane tomes that would enable you to study the anatomy of fierce monsters and dangerous predators. Okay, nearly, in this case the monsters in question are humble Pokemon but they look rather more scary in these fantastic illustrations from Ryan Mauskopf. Why? These are Pokemon anatomy sketches.

The zombies and Greggs the Baker

October 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A review of Dead Space: Catalyst

October 16, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I liked the blood splatters. That was my first impression of Dead Space: Catalyst. Titan Books had given B. K. Evenson’s Dead Space novel a small but effective treatment and decorated the chapter numbers with a splash of black and white blood. Dead Space has always been about the atmosphere. Okay; Dead Space has been […]

The Lord of the Rings Project

October 16, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tolkien’s characters had a rich history. Aragorn could trace his family tree back generations. Meet a dwarf and you would stand a good chance of discovering who is father and grandfather were then and there. In an incredible project, Swedish engineering student Emil Johansson is attempting to map all these relationships and family connections. The […]
