The hardback Godzilla – The Art of Destruction from Titan Books is a 168-paged geeky compliment to the newly released Godzilla film. The news today is that a sequel is on the way. Godzilla did well at the box office and this Toho fan gives the movie two thumbs up. Sure, there’s mixed reviews about […]

Second Guardians of the Galaxy trailer ramps it up a notch
This is the second trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy and I think it is shaping up rather well. We get to see a little more of the characters, enough to form some opinions of them. Groot, I think, is very different from what I remember. Rocket seems fun. The aerial combat scenes in particular […]
Wizards of the Coast announce new Tyranny of the Dragons titles
Wizards of the Coast have updated their press release centre today. The site does not yet mention the new D&D logo. Maybe that will come. Today’s current news is for new entertainment offerings around Tyranny of Dragons. Tyranny of Dragons is a new module for Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment’s Dungeons & Dragons MMO. […]
New Dungeons & Dragons logo brings on the dragon
Mashable, which was once a site about social media news, has a story about Dungeons & Dragons getting a new logo for the 40th anniversary. The new logo transforms the ampersand into a dragon. At the time this post went live there is no announcement on the Wizards.com press site about a new logo. […]
Sophisticated Aion cosplay winner
Aion is a MMO roleplaying game in which players from either the Asmodian or Elyos try and save their world from war and dangerous foes like Balaur. The game takes flying and makes it a vital part of the gameplay; with quests and battle. Aion also ran a multi-thousand Euro cosplay competition. It is well […]
Monster heads for your gaming den
Your party of heroic adventurers have slain the beast and looted the cave. What next? How do you commemorate the mighty encounter? Simple; do as hunters of yesterday once did and mount the head of the beast in your dining hall or gaming den. The catch? Who wants an ugly face of some jabberwocky staring […]
Bad Robot meets Chewbacca for BadWookiee
This foot tall, hand stitched, work of geeky art is the creation of Helen Greenstein. You can buy it too; $2,300. Do you recognise the shape? This is the Bad Robot from J.J. Abrams’s Bad Robot Productions. Given that Abrams is off to make the next three Star Wars films a Chewbacca Bad Robot mashup […]
Worlds collide: Cheapass Games teams with Professor Elemental
According to Last.fm I’ve over 200 plays of Professor Elementals to my name. Factor that up by how often I forget to scobble my music and you will come to the sensible conclusion that I rather like the musical bean. The Indifference Engine with the infamous Fighting Trousers, Splendid and the Quest For The Golden […]
Iron Throne birthday treat – with dragon
Okay, we’ve seen some Game of Thrones cakes before and even some Iron Throne cakes too but Sweet Ruby Cakes deserves a shout out for this one. Why? It’s not the addition of “Winter is Coming” to the cake or even the fine detail they’ve added to the throne. Nope It’s got to be the […]
Short film: Prospect
This reminds me of Firefly in some strange ways. The technology and set-up is entirely different but the overlap is this – Westerns in Space. What Shep Films’ Prospect does is take the usual claim/claim jumper Western story and give it a sci-fi twist. It does so very successfully too. Ready to watch some more? […]
