Game of Thrones: Who’s This

April 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Spoilers from the first three TV seasons of Game of Thrones. Sung to the tune of Nightmare before Christmas, this Cas van de Pol animation, sung by Steven Kelly is a perfect catch up before the launch of season 4. What do you think? Captures the show successfully?

Short film: The OMEn Chronicles

April 5, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The whole thing is shot in 4K, on almost no budget and over 2 days. How long did that take in total? Months thanks to the special effects. It’s set in the Potterverse in which the Officers of OMEn have to deal with a mysterious and rather unhelpful person as an evil force turns up […]

Shocking: A review of Vicious

April 5, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Vicious. I think. I started to read Vicious knowing it was a superhero book. So when we start following two intelligent but out of sorts friends at college it is clear we’ll dabble in their origin story. There’s a bit of rivalry and so it is equally apparent we’re reading about nemesis […]

Not a lie: Portal cake

April 3, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This Companion Cube wedding cake sends a good message. We’ll be together for ever and ever. Just like a companion cube and friend. It also reminds us that there will be cake. Via Geek Art Gallery.

Short film: Shifter

April 3, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

http://vimeo.com/88481807 Directed by the Hallvis Brothers, Shifter is full of tech and action. Our rebel first has to dodge a deadly drone and a rather brutal squad of soldiers sent to get him. What chance does he have? At least he’s the tech-based ability to leap into a clone body. Ready for a game of […]

Curious and Terrible Things: A Review of The Ninth World Bestiary

April 3, 2014 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

The adversaries, beasts, constructs and monsters of the Ninth World poses a formidable and often unfathomable threat to life. Characters setting out on a voyage of discovery through the weird landscape of ruins, drit and numenera can expect to not expect much of what they encounter. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition – true enough. […]
