A review of World of Darkness: The God Machine Chronicle

May 6, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

White Wolf’s World of Darkness: The God Machine Chronicle has topped the “Hottest Items” list for the publisher over at DriveThru RPG ever since it came out – so let’s take a look at it. First up, The God Machine Chronicle is not a complete rule set. You still need to have a copy of […]

Star Wars informercials

May 6, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some of the best creations for Star Wars Day (back on May the 4th) are rising to the service. The Gamer Chick’s Star Wars informercials are certainly one. Who knew that a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away that there were infomercials. It’s a good pitch if you ask me. Seems like […]

Eye tyrant? Die tyrant dice bags!

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What do you call them? Beholders? For legal reasons; perhaps not, Wizards have legal claims around that term in conjunction to certain images. Eye tyrant? That’ll work for me. Even better, a completely different monster, the handy die tyrant. These beasts hoard dice with jealous zeal but that’s an advantage to any gamer who needs […]

GlaDOS ceiling lamp – in your very own home

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Look impressive? You can have this GlaDOS ceiling lamp in your own home. That’s right; it’s a 3D printed creation. You can pick up the 3D print files at Thingiverse.com, the instructions at Instructables.com and 3D printers are getting easy to find. Staples.com, for example, sells them.

Code Monkey Save World comic book Kickstarter

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m a great big fan of Jonathan Coulton’s Code Monkey. In fact, it may now be banned from the work Spotify list due to overplay. So when news of a Kickstarter to turn Code Monkey into a comic book came to me I had to track the details down. It’s a partnership between writer Greg […]

The Cthulhu cultist with goggles mask

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve seen people clubbing in gas masks. I suspect this particular mask might appeal to them as well. It’ll appeal to ravers, goths and those who worship alien gods from beyond time and space. This mask, tentacles and all, is on sale over at Legion Leather’s etsy store. Take note of the warning; Made from […]

Gangster mugshots for Batman’s baddies

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Artist Jason Mark was inspired by well dressed gangsters and villains in this Laughing Squid curated collection of Australian mugshots. The result? He turned some of Gotham’s favourite foes and Batman’s most frequent enemies into something similar. Check out his portfolio at Jempix.blogspot.ca for more fantastic (and often superhero) art.

Short film: ABE, the Softly-spoken robot serial killer

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A rather sinister short film but ideal if you need to distract your brain. What would it take for a robot to turn serial killer? Why would it do it? What would it be trying to do? These are some of the questions explored in Rob McLellan’s ABE. Fans can get more information from the […]
