SAGA’s cover transformed into stained glass
Everyone tells me I should read SAGA. The epic sci-fi comic is written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrted by Fiona Staples. I’ve stumbled across this project by Ravings Side that transforms the cover into an actual stained glass window. Isn’t it impressive? I think I prefer it without the light behind it. There’s more […]
Incredible One Ring with fiery Tengwar
Tengwar is the script used to write many of the languages in Middle Earth. The Black Speech of Mordor, written in Tengwar, is easy to see in this rather incredible One Ring.

In the meantime there have been plenty of reviews and the great majority are overwhelmingly positive. But what does this mean? I’m a roleplayer […]

Which Halloween costumes are most popular right now? Google knows. It’s shared the top 10 for this month and Frozen dominates with Elsa and Olaf in positions #1 and #2. What happened to Black Widow’s face? Google’s post is actually a case study into some clever search marketing that Buy Costumes did. The retailer predicted […]

Uh-oh. Normally I get frustrated when a video is shot in vertical rather than horizontal. This time I’m glad as it helped cushion the blow. If you want your Halloween to be filled with screams this year then you can buy this “Chair Screamer”. You just need to pop over to Posion Props and splash […]
Magic: The Gathering unboxing flips out as $25,000 card turns up
