Watch Matt Smith become Peter Capaldi

August 11, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Will we see something like this in Doctor Who? This is a photomorph of 11th Doctor actor Matt Smith morphing into Peter Capaldi who will play the 12th. It’s a good morph. I’m actually struck by how similar the two actors are. I think they have the same sort of chin and forehead. Via Mick […]

Making Link’s Master Sword in real life could kill you

August 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In many ways this is an interesting video. It shows some modern expert blacksmiths making Legend of Zelda’s Master Sword. This is Link’s Master Sword. It is just a recreation of course but the sword itself is just cut from a sheet of steel. Does that mean it’s weak? Not at all; watch to end […]

Is geek dating ever this easy?

August 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what’s going on here but the caption says “Speed dating”. I’m not an expert but I hazard a guess that the guy is doing it wrong; he sounds ever so slightly aggressive. Full points to the lady geek, though, not only is that a nerdy answer that is a perfect repost to […]
