Which was the most surreal scene in Labyrinth? It might have been the one with the junk lady. It’s especially weird if you imagine that the Labyrinth may have been entirely in Sarah’s mind. What’s far more straight forward is the fact this cosplay from Epbot is simply superb! She appeared in public for the […]

Interactive periodic table of fictional metals
Yikes! It was 6 years ago that Geek Native shared a table of imaginary elements. Time for a new one. The latest comes from a company called Bodycote which specialise in heat treating various metals and alloys.

Let Darth Vader guard your home
There’s a Canary that defends our flat. The video camera looks nice, can see in the dark and detect movement. It’s pretty cool but it doesn’t have Sith powers. This design from Kim Hyeonseok and PDF Designers is also a home camera … and something far darker! Okay, other than scoring a truck load of […]

A Great Game to Read: A Review of Exalted, Third Edition
I don’t have any experience with Exalted’s previous editions, so I can’t really comment on what’s changed. All I know is this: by the time I finally finished reviewing all of Exalted: Third Edition (EX3)’s 650+ pages, I was stunned. Not just by the monumental size of this game, but it’s scope and execution. EX3 […]
Awesome Media option Jay Gunn’s Surface Tension
Imagine writing and illustrating your own comic book – for it then to be picked up professionally, for it to be a hit and then for Awesome Media for a TV role? That’s exactly what happened to Jay Gunn as the company has optioned Surface Tension. I rather enjoyed Surface Tension. Okay, billions died and […]
Sex and Storms: A review of The Enchantment Emporium

Not my type of book. The Enchantment Emporium, however, is a Tanya Huff book. I know Huff from the Confederation […]
