SEAL Team 666 review

March 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

While reading Seal Team 666 I twice described the book as “US SEALs battle demons”. The first time I did so the reaction was; “sounds awful”. The second time the response was; “my kind of book!”. Now I’m using the phrase again in this review. It fits. SEAL Team 666 is the story of an […]

A look inside… The Art of Dead Space

February 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dead Space 3 is on the way. We’ve got the trailers set on the icy planet, gamers seem to accept that that’s not space but that it still looks like Dead Space. The art of Dead Space is compelling. The visuals are a strong part of the game. Fans can now buy Martin Robinson’s The […]

LARP movie: Knights of Badassdom first official trailer

January 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

LARPers accidently summon a succubus. I really hope this is a laugh with the LARPers rather than laugh at the LARPers movie. Okay, sure, given it’s style I think we’ll be laughing at some of the quirky characters.. but, gosh, let’s see how this one plays out. Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, […]

Created by Phillip Blackman of Undead Teds is this family of rather gruesome teddy bears. They make me think some spoilt brat is going to regret throwing this teddy bear out of the window. The bear returns from the dead and wants dread ted revenge! Via Nerdcore.

Movie monsters as cartoons

January 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This collection of unlikely cartoons come from the hand of Brazilian artist Thurz. He tends to work with the combination of Photoshop and a tablet and the results, I think, speak for themselves. Which is your favourite?

Shadows of Esteren review: Fantasy done darkly

December 21, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Shadows of Esteren first appeared on my radar when it smashed its Kickstarter campaign to get translated into English. I scratch my head because I do not believe I backed the campaign but even at this stage the game oozed quality. Let’s face it; grim fantasy games are hard to do well. Even at the […]

6 beasts as we pass 666

December 5, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It was pointed out that Geek Native has just passed over the infamous 666 on Facebook. The blog’s Facebook followers fortunately did not have to linger long on the dreaded number as the 667th person pressed the Like button fairly soon afterwards. Phew! Nevertheless and recorded for posterity here is that special moment when the […]
