This wonderful prosthesis was created by Christopher Snell. Snell’s a master at this; an expert in making all sorts of prosthetics. What gets me is how the gears on the leg are still while the model is standing still. They only start to turn when the walker begins to use his leg. I don’t think […]

Gandalf was smart enough to avoid a doomed Giant Eagle flight into Mordor
It’s an old gamers joke. Let’s assume none of the PCs ran off with the ring the very second it was discovered. What would happen next? The chances are someone would want to use the Giant Eagles to fly into Mordor, fly over Mount Doom and drop that pesky ring into the lava. Problem solved? […]
Spare $21,500 for this gorgeous Star Trek inspired music box?
The Music Machine 2 Reuge by MB&F will set you back a little. Okay; it’ll set you back $21,500 but you’ll have one of a very few made. There are only 66 of these in black and 33 in white. This isn’t the USS Enterprise. This music box is imply inspired by the sci-fi. In […]
Surprising? Roleplayers are more accepting of running zombies than non-gamers
If you are asked the question; “Should zombies run?” the correct response is something along the cards of; “No, zombies should stay fully dead, immobile and in their graves”. The question Geek Native asked in a competition to win a bundle of Dana Fredsti zombie books was slightly different. The question was whether it was […]
Psychological cyberpunk: A review of Psycho-Pass
You can play the game of trying to guess which sci-fi author has created worlds most similar to Psycho-Pass and award yourself bonus points if the characters in the anime agree with your assessment when they have the very same conversation. It might be tempting to describe Psycho-Pass as a utopian future as this is […]

In addition to sci-fi worlds Wallin illustrates some fantastic Japanese architecture and landscapes. You can check out his […]

Scarlet’s main magic power is the ability to “equip” into different sets of magical costumes or armour suited to any given purpose. I call this the “blades of stabby death armour”. You’ll […]
Laser science and the Tron Dartboard design
This is a concept design for a laser dartboard. The unit can go up pretty much anywhere and is built from a central hub which projects the laser design of the dartboard out in a radius and darts with gel heads. I’m not sure how sticky the gel darts would be after hitting the floor […]
Short film: Abiogenesis
This is a very pretty sci-fi short film. A strange spacecraft lands on a primordial landscape and a stunning but unlikely series of events unfold. This is stunning but also represents that intersection of super-science and “why would they do it like that?”. Just switch off your brain and enjoy the sci-fi-prwn. Hop on this […]
