This radical rethinking opens up a much larger issue for the team of scientists to get […]

Hacking humanity: The Kill Screen review
In geek history The Kill Screen was that point when a game becomes unplayable due to all the errors polluting the screen (or VDU). This isn’t a modern day problem as games are bullet tested but back in the 8-bit days it was an occasional occurrence. This Kill Screen is a comic written by Mike […]
Odd but catchy: A review of Magi – The Labyrinth of Magic
This is a review of season 1 part 1 of the anime Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. It is Arabian Nights turned into an anime. Aladdin is a young boy who has escaped some sort of dungeon with a headless genie in a flute. Ali Baba is a teenager who works for merchants and dreams […]
Robert Chew’s mech animal illustrations
These illustrations come with notes just as if they’re from an RPG sourcebook. What a fantastic idea too; animal-style robots/mech. The designer is a digital artist called Robert Chew who works from Santa Monica, California. It’s also worth noting that profit from the sale of these prints is donated to The International Anti-Poaching Foundation and […]
