Invoking for Effect: A Review and Commentary on Fate Core
Recently, I was criticized for comparing every game out today to Fate Core. It’s not fair, I was told. After some thought, I realized it was finally time to give Fate Core a review and explain why, exactly, I think this game is today’s standard-bearer for tabletop roleplaying, and why every game that’s come out since can and should be compared […]

Impressive reconstruction of Star Wars at Madame Tussauds
I’ve never yet been to a Madame Tussauds. There’s not one locally but I think the real challenge is getting over the idea of queuing for so long just to see some waxworks. It doesn’t seem worth it. That’s until a video like this comes along and shows me how very real the wax models […]
So yeah, Daredevil should be called Batman
The Dorkly gang have it right. Why isn’t Daredevil called Batman? Sure, it might not be entirely true that bats are blind but maybe the same could be said for Daredevil and his powers? It’s just a shame there isn’t another hero around that could make better use of the name.
Mad Max: Fury Road meets Mario Kart mashup is a work of art
A great idea that’s been brought to life with skill and imagination. This is Mario Kart: Fury Road – a parody trailer – and it brings the crazy driving of Mario Kart to life with the crazy driving of Mad Max. I shall call it Mad Mario. What’s your favourite part?
How to build a fully operational gas rifle out of pipes and propane
In this video the Backyard Scientist uses every day items to build a series of rifles. Are they powerful? By the time the video finishes we’re able to launch golf balls further than the video can track and we’re blasting holes in beer cans. Also; pretty blue flame. If you want to build one of […]
