A review of Stitched Volume 1

March 8, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Stitched is a horror graphic novel (and movie!) from the Northern Irish author and comic book creator Garth Ennis and the highly respected Mike Wolfer. Ennis is known for the likes of Preacher and Marvel’s Punisher. Wolfer has worked on Crossed, the Night of the Living Dead and Gravel. I think that rather sets the […]

Amazon suspend SimCity downloads, blaming EA

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In an unusual twist Amazon have suspended downloads of SimCity and issued a warning about EA’s servers. In effect they’re saying; you could buy this from us but you’ll not be able to play it and then you’ll be angry at us. Instead, they’re making it clear the problem sits firmly with EA and their […]

A parkour tour of a cosplay convention

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The event is Katsucon which is dedicated to Japanese animation, tradition and society held at the National Harbor in Maryland. Calling it a “cosplay convention” rather under sells it. Enough of that – look at the video! You can follow MLZ Studios on Facebook. Next year, if they do it again, their Shinobi costume for […]

The Wookiee Skateboard keeps barefoot skaters warm

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This interesting skateboard will set you back $299 from Weird Boards.com. It’ll keep your toes warm too. If I was you I’d keep it out of the rain… and well, isn’t this more to look at than use? Wookies, I’m sure, don’t take kindly to being stood on. Via the ever savy Amy Ratcliffe at […]

Lewisham’s Role Play Haven makes the news

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What happens when you send a journalist who, by his own admission, couldn’t even make it through a Lord of the Rings film to interview a large roleplaying club in London? The results are surprisingly pleasant for the gamers. There is, of course, a catch. The club’s venue, a room in Lewisham Hospital, is at […]

March 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
