Frozen Skies is a Savage Worlds Dieselpunk RPG worth looking at

July 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fed up of Kickstarter? Noticed how the production value for Kickstarter pitches just keep on rising? Do you ever suspect that we’re getting Kickstarters for books that would happen anyway? It’s all good. Kickstarter is a boon to the tabletop RPG industry. That said; wouldn’t it be great if we could spot a Kickstarter for […]

Review of Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters

July 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What a fantastic book. This 156-paged collection of colour oozes Pacific Rim wonder. The title is perfect; “Man, Machines & Monsters”. Take the time to read the forward by Guillermo del Toro before allowing yourself to be distracted by the artwork and the hidden surprises. Now, the hidden surprises are all good – no rift […]

Who Framed Han Solo? Jessica Fett

July 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

She’s not Jessica Rabbit. She’s not Boba Fett. Behold Jessica Fett. Somehow I doubt we’ll be seeing her in the next Star Wars trilogies. Via Neatorama.

Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #1

July 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Native’s Irregular Reconnaissance column takes a look at geeky things that have been distracting us. Consider the post a series of micro reviews for episodic titles. This batch of anime was exclusively watched via CrunchRolly streaming via the Xbox 360 app. Attack on Titan Episodies 1 to 15 It’s easy to see why Attack […]

Wizards without Coats: Mapping

July 25, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looks like these guys have a problem with a backseat mapper. There’s always someone in the group who says they don’t want any responsibility mapping and yet who chips in when there’s a debate. That’s what is going on here. Right?

Steampunk Belle: The Beauty and the Beast cosplay and inspiration

July 25, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This fantastic illustration is the work of deviant artist HelleeTitchs and shows Belle from Beauty and the Beast in steampunk form. The illustration inspired Rachel D. to turn it into a reality and so with her prom dress and Darkspectre Custom Couture she did just that. DCC worked on the alterations and corset while Rachel […]

July 25, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Ubunto want to bring their OS style to the world of mobile. So they should. As Mark Shuttleworth points out in the opening seconds of the pitch video; convergence is the future of computing. I wish I could just plug my smartphone into my bank of screens and get on with work. [Back the Campaign] […]

Three minutes of Captain Harlock

July 25, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Harlock has been many incarnations but this computer animated Space Pirate Captain Harlock looks like it’ll be one of the best. Jinx. You certainly can get a food feel for the movie with this chunky trailer, more than 3 minutes in length and full of beautiful space scenes of deadly battle and explosions. The Japanese […]
