Koto no ha no niwa: Garden of Words review
Garden of Words is a beautiful short, only 47 minutes, anime from Makoto Shinkai. It is a film about rain and feet. The animation is simply stunning. The first few minutes of footage, from the opening credits through to the introduction of the characters is remarkable. The scene of a branch dipping into a lake […]

Monte Cook & Bruce Cordell team up for The Strange RPG Kickstarter
[Back this Campaign] Monte Cook and Bruce Cordell are both professional developers, both have had success on Kickstarter and are long time friends. Amazingly, they’ve never worked on a full RPG together. This Kickstarter for a game they’re working on called The Strange is likely to change that. The Strange makes use of multiple words […]

Hell No: The sensible horror film
Not coming to a cinema near you. Not confusing you with illogical and daft choices. Not filled with people with the survival skills of an 8-bit Space Invader.

Humans, elves, dwarves and the other “Divine Races” fought against the spawn of the titans. The setting picked up 150 years after […]
