TradeCraft Bonus: 7 sets of steampunk inspired shoes

December 20, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Steampunk is as much a style as it is a genre. While I agree that you can’t just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk I think it highly likely that the gear, or cog, would likely be a fashion focus in many steampunk realities. Steampunk shoes, therefore, don’t need to have little […]

Tales of Alethrion trailer

December 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m a big fan of the short animation The Reward. I backed the team when they went to crowdfunding to take the 9 minute story and make it a much larger one. As a recap – two men fighting over a map, team up, for the sake of the map and explore the world looking […]

Attack on Python

December 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I must have this You don’t frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called “Arthur King,” you and all your silly English K-nig-hts. The quote above does not come from the Colossal Titan as it appeared over Wall Maria. We’re […]

Gamers may never notice the change but today’s management buy-out of Cubicle 7 is big news. The British RPG publisher has left 2000 AD owners Rebellion.

Gamer Girls: What she says and what she really means

December 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 8 Comments

You may have seen “What she says, what she means” translation tables being shared on the web. “I’m fine” means “I’m not fine”, you know the ones. We get the joke. People are complex, women are people, and therefore women are complex. Let’s try and avoid the sexism and see if we can do a […]

Creepy as! Nearly naked Hayden Panettiere and a whole lot of trouble

December 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This demo of PlayStation’s Until Dawn is best described thusly “Creepy as”. Sam, played by Hayden Panettiere, has a restful bath ruined by some Saw action. Sony says this may contain content inappropriate for children. I would say they’re right. In the play-through we can see the different paths open up and the split-second decisions […]

December 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

CGP Grey’s video is an excellent way to go deep into the huge mythology of Lord of the Rings. Most importantly, this won’t take you days and days of readng. This takes between 4 and 5 minutes of animation and quick, but clear, voice over. This video explains the role Gandalf and the other wizards […]

Worth more? Old Charizard Pokemon cards or 50s Barbie? [Infographic]

December 18, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Bingo site Two Little Fleas has been inspired by old Pokemon cards selling on eBay for £1,200 (and there are many scary prices for cards on Ebay). They’ve also been driven by the need to get in touch with gamers. The result? An infographic that worth of old toys if you were to sell them today. […]
