This is a trailer for Adi Shankar’s Judge Dredd tribute. Adi explains the animation is a departure from the film and channels more of the humour found in the comic book series. There’s plenty of shocks and gore in here but this “Bootleg series” show is apparently aimed at children. I suppose that works. I’m […]

Project J-Deite: The real life Transformer
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started to watch this Transformer video unfold. An animation? A model? I should have paid more attention. It’s clear that this is scale replica of a real life Transformer. By “real life” we mean a robot capable of transforming, actions and travel. It’s surprisingly agile. Unlike cartoon […]
Bravely taking on the challenge: Digital D20
There’s been no shortage of attempts to create tablet software for traditional tabletop roleplayers. We’ve seen some great ideas, pitches and innovation but we rarely see a success. This has not put off Digital D20 who have a Kickstarter and a £50,000 goal for a new attempt at the tablet challenge. [Back this Campaign] The […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 Horsing around
Who says Halloween masks need to be spooky? Sometimes you’ll ge more chat if you’re just odd. Over on Etsy Sans Souci Studios are selling this horse mask for the regal sum of £300/$475. They suggest the horse is tossing its head and neighing. Perhaps it’s a challenge or maybe the horse is having a […]
Remind you of anyone? Gamer couples
Another cracking comic strip from Dorkly’s George Rottkamp. I’m just used to my other half being the better player. Not sure that’s the same as the one-sided rivalry; it’s more about being able to wheel in a powerful ally if a Destiny Strike is being too hard to manage alone.
Are you glad they changed the Chocobo?
This is an original Chocobo by creator Yoshitaka Amano. The concept art is up on the Final Fantasy Wikia. Although there are Chocobo-like statues in Final Fantasy I the first real appearance of the famous horse-bird was Final Fantasy II. These chocobo were found in the forest by Kashuan Keep. Amano is known for using […]
Halo Nightfall trailer
There are a few Halo Nightfalls – there’s the Halo: Reach level and a Halo song. This Halo Nightfall is the live action crated by Paul Scheuring (Prison Break). It’s expected there will be five episodes that’ll come out with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The story in Nightfall will connect Halo 4 and Halo […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #5 Zombie virus
Too dodgy for this year? A mask that finds the middle ground between a zombie and a poor soul with a killer virus? This handmade mask is movie quality – and £500/$770 too – and ships from llinois, United States. The fit is made to order, high end silicone sculpture that’s perfect for true horror […]
Official Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer
There are no strings on me. Since the cat was out of the bag Marvel wisely released the first teaser trailer for the next Avengers film. At this point nearly 6 million views have been recorded on the official release. The signs are there’s a lot of interest in this movie. What’s your gut feeling? […]
Royalty free RPG map maker turns to Kickstarter with Other World Mapper
I suck at drawing maps but what’s an epic fantasy quest without the world map to put all that travel into context? Three Minds Software is having a crack at the computer cartography market with a project called the Other World Mapper. [Back this Campaign] It looks like this Kickstarter will slide to success. This […]
