Mech marvellous: A review of The Art of Titanfall

February 28, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Getting Titanfall? It feels as if Microsoft has a lot resting on this game. It’s an Xbox One headliner and is coming out for PC and Xbox 360 too. Call of Duty never appealed to me but Titanfall does. Do giant fighting robots make that much of a difference? Apparently so. Titan Books was probably […]

Tabletop Taverns: The quickest way to build a whole RPG model town

February 28, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Back this Campaign] Going three or four steps beyond the concept of paper minis for your tabletop RPG adventures is the idea of an entire tabletop town. That’s exactly what Tabletop Towns offer. The boxes are suitable for 28mm wargame or tabletop system and transform into buildings. Okay, I’ll admit it, I was a bit […]

Sith D-Bags challenge Jedi A-Holes

February 28, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These are Sith Douche Bags. If you’re not sure what the word “Douche” means then just pop it into Google Translate from French to English. Joking aside – and nifty special effects aside (actually, marvel at the FX) – this is a clever bit of vlogger marketing. The RP Wham team are calling out to […]

Steampunk BioShock Infinite headphones

February 28, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These headphones are a custom job by Edge Works on deviant art. They began life as Aerial 7 Tank Headphones, described as good looking, comfortable and with massive 57mm drivers and then converted with sharpies into a “BioShock Infinite steampunked style”. What do you think? Time to take sharpies to your headphones?

Protect your luck: Cryptex dice vaults

February 27, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Or do you need just a handy, pocket sized, cool looking dice holder? These photographs are of the prototype for the smallest Cryptex Dice Vaults […]

An 8-bit history of the world: Weddings & Wars

February 27, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Singer-songwriter Will Varley created this quirky “8-bit” music video himself on demo software from the 90s. That’ll go a long way to explain the SNES look and feel. It reminds me of Frak! Except, well, that’s a whole generation too early! There are some actual game references in the video though. I’m told to watch […]
