Firebox brings PyroPets to the UK
PyroPets are candles that started off an one off piece of art and then moved to Kickstarter after winning the internet over. The Kickstarter made it possible to buy PyroPets but didn’t make it easy to do so. After all, international shipping is a pain to manage especially if you’re a creative talent more interested […]
Oohkay, this ring is a little freaky
Sometimes you have to make a statement. What about this? Hold your horses. This is actually a ring. You can buy it from Raul Souza’s Etsy store but they’re going fast. You can see from these pictures that the raspberry jam is optional.
Greenpeace to LEGO: Not Awesome
I love those little LEGO plastic bricks. I do. Greenpeace points out a problem. To help make those LEGO blocks the company has partnered with Shell. Greenpeace isn’t happy about Shell drilling the Artic for oil. To make their point Greenpeace (who are outstandingly good at digital marketing) commissioned a video. This video has the […]
Goblin Battle: First look at D&D 5e goblins?
Kieran Yanner, who is based in Seattle, has shared this piece to their online portfolio at Behance. It’s called “Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: Goblin Battle” and so I theorise this is interior art for one of the soon to be released D&D 5e books. Any predictions as to which of the three first books […]

Let’s hope Guardians of the Galaxy breaks the usual “long trailer” rule
Have you heard of this rule – “the longer the trailer – the worse the movie”? I have. Sad to say that it often holds true. I remain a huge fan of all the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers but I’m beginning to wonder at the tactics. Why so many long clips? One theory is […]
Akira’s theme with a classical twist and cosplay topping
This is the first post on a YouTube channel called Player Piano. Got to say; it looks interesting. The channel is focused on Sonya Belousova, a piano player, and in this video she brings with her musical friends all cosplaying Akira. She also brings Eru Matsumoto who uses a neon bow for her electric cello […]
Cleverly layered: A Knights of Sidonia anime review
The Knights of Sidonia is the first anime I’ve watched on Netflix. One of the reasons I wanted to watch it was to encourage Netflix to buy in more – and they did do the heavy lifting on this one. The other reason was that the Knights of Sidonia looked like an interesting but relatively […]
