Female jedi X-Wing pilot

July 20, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure where Star Wars: Episode VII is going with female characters. There’s been rumours and concerns in equal measure. This illustration by Philippino artist Ray-ann Sagun shows the promise those. This Jedi looks strong and determined as she climbs out of her X-Wing expecting trouble.

Short film: A-Hole in Time

July 20, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Household Cavalry perform Game of Thrones

July 20, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This performance of the iconic Game of Thrones TV series opening theme happened during the changing of the guards outside Buckingham Palace. I speculate this doesn’t happen very often as there would be more YouTube footage of it. A stroke of luck then that Omer Barnea had a great view and was recording from the […]

Anti-zombie designs: Walking house model built from LEGO

July 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests LEGO builder Jason Allemann created this walking LEGO platform. I watch this video and think of houses in a post-apocalyptic zombie future. Zombies suck at climbing and tend to be slow. Ideally you’d want a fast place to live that was high up. Of course, your actual anti-zombie house would […]

Brutal: A review of God is Dead

July 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I knew nothing about Hickman, Costa and Amorim’s God is Dead when I started to read. The opening pages show us the world tormented by natural disasters and the shocking death toll. I wondered if these horrors were the consequence for the death of God. That theory didn’t last very long. I watched as a […]

Papercraft frost dragon

July 18, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

This Skyrim dragon is impressive. It’s hard to believe it’s made out of paper. It is, though, and deviant artist DaiShiHUN is at least kind enough to say it very hard to make! DaiShiHUN also feels this is technically a wyvern but that’s one for Bethesda to mull over. Fancy making one of these yourself? […]
