Who stole Trapdoor’s tools?

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

You might know Trapdoor Technologies as the company who had been working on the digital toolkit for Dungeons & Dragons 5. They’re not working on that project any more; last month they broke up with Wizards of the Coast. Today, Trapdoor have posted the mystery of the MorningStar. Here’s a quote; Early this morning, when […]

Really? The Devil is a Part-Timer review

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

The Devil is a Part-Timer is an action-comedy. I enjoyed the action. The same can’t be said for the comedy. The background is straightforward and seems quite good. Satan is the king of his own island in a different realm and with his four generals effectively terrorising the neighbouring human islands. That’s until an incredibly […]

Tech Demo for Final Fantasy XV

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Not a trailer nor even a teaser – this video is Square Enix showing off the technology behind Final Fantasy XV. There’s music too. Music that’s easily described as “Final Fantasy appropriate”. What do you think? Does the tech behind the visual oomph of the game help get you interested? Or are you a bit […]

Quirky enough to snuggle with a madcrab plush?

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mudcrabs! These little pests like to hide away on river banks in Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online (I know the first; assume the second). They’re annoyingly dangerous until you level up. Fancy having one to cuddle? You can! Gaming Heads are making high quality mudcrab plush toys that come with DLC so you can […]

Dogs Playing D&D

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The original “Dogs Playing Poker” is actually a series of 16 oil paintings by C. M. Coolidge, an American artist who died in 1934. All 16 in the series show anthropomorphised dogs but only 9 had the dogs around a table. The series, commissioned, in 1903 was to advertise cigars. Johannes Grenzfurthner’s alternative doesn’t promote […]

Short film: A Tale of Momentum & Inertia

November 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

There’s an important lesson here and it’s one roleplayers will tell you about. There’s a reason why one of the most common questions a player asks their GM is this; “What’s it doing?” Pounce on this teleport link to land on a randomly selected video.

It’s the extended trailer for Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

November 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk24PuBUUkQ Looking for a sneak peak of Vision? Wondering whether Andy Serkis is Klaw? Not sure the extended version of the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron will scratch those itches. What you do get here is more James Spader ruling it as Ultron and a better feel of the movie. What do you think? Still […]
