Destiny’s Rise of Iron and eSports

August 18, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve recently come back to Destiny. I started playing when the game launched, going from a pre-order gamer on the xBox 360 to stopping just after The Dark Below was released. My return to the game is timed with the late arrival of a ‘next gen’ console in the form of the xBox One S. […]

The Dungeon of Horror

August 17, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Show me more Dungeon] There’s a lot to like in Phil Postma’s art. Sometimes we get great mashups like this vintage Star Wars colletion and other times 80s nostaliga. The Dungeon of Horror comes straight out of tribe nostalgia but puts a wonderful RPG spin on it even if the design is really challenging some […]

Will Stephen Byrne’s animated Firefly ever air?

August 16, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This trailer for The Animated Adventures of Firefly will make you wish you could watch it now. We don’t know when it’s coming. We’re teased: soon. What will Fox do? Will they hold back the lawyers? Will they cancel another Firefly show to protect their IP? You’d like to think the cast and crew would […]

Slay that annoying green dragon

August 16, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tough: A review of Tech21’s Evo tactical case

August 8, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I want to begin this review with something usual – and talk about the ordering and fulfilment. I’m guilty of going with Amazon too often just because I’ve a Prime account and it’s easy. Ordering with Tech21.com was a delight. It was easy to do, I knew exactly where my case was, it arrived in […]
