The time is 5pm. Jack Bauer, once a federal agent, was declared a fugitive from justice one hour ago. Former colleagues in the Counter Terrorist Unit are dead or under arrest. If Jack wants to escape their fate he needs to get out of the country but he has no resources, no backup and no […]

Sailor Moon meets Cyberpunk
I adore this illustration from W. Scott Forbes and am pleased that he finally found time to post it. Here we see the Sailor Moon team as they might look in a neon cyberpunk future. Do you like it? (Via Geek Girl Diva at Fashionably Geek)
Classic dice shaming: 13 unrepentant polyhedrons
You might have heard of dog shaming. Naughty dogs get their photographs taken, looking guilty, while they sit with a sign that tells the world which canine crime they committed. “I chewed my owner’s favourite shoes” or “I like to steal the cat’s food”. As it turns out dogs aren’t the only source of frustration […]
Cubicle 7 prepare for Lone Wolf adventure game Kickstarter
Lone Wolf moved from Mongoose to fellow British publisher Cubicle 7 last year. Now we know what’s next for the popular title and it won’t be a hardcore RPG. The name “roleplaying game” is used just once by Cubicle 7 in their announcement and “Adventure Game” is used instead. The Lone Wolf adventure game is […]
Short film: Auroras
This is a short film about loss and saying goodbye. It’s also a sci-fi visual delight. We follow a cyborg as she’s sent on a mission to space and leaves a rich, neon and industrial world behind. Niles Heckman’s film is layered with special effects and still manages to be emotional. Looking for one more […]
Geek & Sundry sold to Legendary Entertainment
Congratulations to Felicia Day and Sheri Bryant who have sold their YouTube based company Geek & Sundry to Legendary Pictures. It doesn’t feel that long as ago that Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop series, part of Geek & Sundry, raised over a million in a crowdfunding exercise. Hopefully fans will be cool with the purchase and that […]
Is this the next Gundam? Cross Ange trailer
Cross Ange is a new mecha anime from Sunrise. That’s the team responsible for mecha hits like Gundam, Code Geass and Vlavrave. Mitsui Fukuda, Gundam SEED director, is the creative director on the project. If you happened to notice the pilot’s armour was odd; a mix of protective shell and knickers then you’d be right. […]
Okami brought to life with papercraft
Richard Wong’s Deviant Art gallery is a collection of some very impressive papercraft. It’s worthy of spending plenty of time viewing. One of my favourites in this Okami. Okami is a great spirit, a wolf, and hero of Clover Studio’s popular computer game.
Custom Minion R2D2 figure
Created in about 10 hours by Kodykoala. This model was inspired by a Warbucks t-shirt design, made from a cheap R2D2 Valentine’s Day sweet dispenser and a McDonald’s Happy Meal Minion toy. Like it? You can buy it from Etsy or check out Kody’s other creations.
D&D 5e: Barbarian, Paladin and plenty more previews
Wizards of the Coast are keeping the stream of Dungeons & Dragon’s teasers up. We’ve had the Table of Contents from the Player’s Handbook, the Sorcerer Class, the Bard Class and a peak into Wild Magic. There’s a lot more. We’ve got the Barbarian Class, Paladin and supporting roles like soldier, hermit, brawler and others. […]
