Become a wizard? Runes: The Forgotten Path

January 7, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

They’re small and indie and I hadn’t heard of Stormborn Studio before or their project Runes: The Forgotten Path. A few seconds into the video and I was reminded of an old computer RPG from JoWood Productions called Arx Fatalis. In Arx you’re a spellcaster and you used your mouse to draw runes on the […]

On the Spot: Video game music

January 7, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tune in for Halo, Skyrim, Final Fantasy 7, BioShock and Chrono Cross. This video is done to support Player Piano’s Indiegogo campaign (backer link) and follows on from their “on the spot” jammin’ to Nintendo themes. It works like this: Tom plays clips of music to talented composer and pianist Sonya Belousova. Sonya then tries […]

Nerdgasm! Wait… she’s a girl

January 7, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Buy from TeeTurtle. TeeTurtle do like their cute t-shirt designs. They do a lot of pocket animals and always manage to make them kawaii. I rather like this design though. Mega Man’s reaction to finding out that Metroid’s Samus Aran is a woman.

It’s a brand new year and therefore a perfect time to pick up and try a new game. Right? Ah, it’s not so easy. It can be hard to persuade gamers to try something new and this is especially the case if the group is happy with the current game. Thankfully DriveThruRPG does something cool. […]

Click and Kill: A review of Warhammer Quest

January 7, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The original Warhammer Quest is a popular iOs game. This review is of the PC, Mac and Linux adaptation that’s now available through Steam. I played on the PC. I’ve had plenty of time to play this new version and it’s an enjoyable way to spend up to an hour distracting your brain. It’s a […]

There and Back Again: A Review of Rivendell

January 6, 2015 by Ed Leave a Comment

The One Ring is a fantastic Middle Earth-based roleplaying game, but there’s one caveat: the corebook only covers Wilderland, the region in which The Hobbit takes place. What happens if you and your game group want to have adventures in Eriador, where much of the actual Lord of the Rings epic happens? Now, with Cubicle 7’s latest release, Rivendell, your group has […]

Doom metal Game of Thrones?

January 6, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Is this a thing? Venezuelan musician Santiago Rodriguez Almenara and band have transformed the iconic Game of Thrones’ opening tune into a slow, heavy, anthem. Okay, I know this isn’t doom metal but my mind can’t back cycle back to my small collection every other time I give this cover version a listen too. The […]
