Ingress sub-factions could turn politics and plot into gameplay

June 30, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m fond of the augmented reality game Ingress, recently suggested some shard alternatives even though they may well be controversial or dismissible and expressed my concerns about the Resistance plot. I think those Resistance concerns have been validated. Since the original box post more plot politics have been revealed. We now know that Resistance founder, […]

Where can you get the Labyrinth POP figures?

June 30, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Yup! They look awesome, especially Ludo, and they’ll soon be here – Labyrinth Funko Pop figures! It looks like there’s a first set of four; Sarah and the worm, Hoggle, Ludo and Jareth. I’m not sure why Sir Didymus and Ambrosius aren’t around. Perhaps they’re much harder to turn into POPs? Who else would you […]

The giant LEGO ball machine

June 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This machine was on show at Japan Brickfest 2016. Built from LEGO it puts on quite a ball run. It’s hard to know what to like the most! The basketball courts? The planets? The giraffes! Just the sheer style and cleverness of the build? Impressive stuff.

Splashy! It’s a cosplay pool party

June 28, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Cosplay pool parties seem like an odd thing to catch on. But they have. I guess it’s hard for this blogger, tucked away in deepest darkest Scotland, to imagine. The idea is to do cosplay but in swimsuit form? Beat Down Boogie were at ColossalCon 206 and captured plenty of action at Kalahari Waterpark in […]
