It is a good sign when a science fiction writer can be described as being ahead of his or her time, and this is certainly the case regarding Philip José Farmer (January 26th, 1918 – February 25th, 2009). Farmer is perhaps best known for his Riverworld books, a series whose plot has everyone who has […]
Nitroglycerin Hand Sanitizer
Now and then, while out checking the web for geeky goodness, this blogger comes across an item that would make for a wonderful LARP prop. This Nitroglycerin Hand Sanitizer goes beyond LARP – not only could you use this during a gaming night, I can see this being a great conversation starter at a convention. […]
Zombie Lydia shadows me around Skyrim
Glitch hunting can be fun. Here’s one I recorded in Skyrim. Having lost one follower, Stenvar, to vampires I was alarmed when his replacement and my first Housecarl, Lydia, flew past me and off the side of the hill after failing to get out of the way of a giant and his club. Good news! […]
16-bit satire, spoilers and giggles with the Battlestar Galactica RPG
The busy folks at College Humour have once again made teh effort to reach out to geek culture and woo us. This time they pay homage to the classic format of a good 16-bit RPG by wrapping in and poking some fun at Battlestar Galactica.
Choose Your Own Adventure: Singing Christmas Hedgehogs
We’re all familiar with the Choose Your Own Adventure format made famous by Livingston and Jackson. We’re also pretty familiar with hedgehogs. The twist is to take both to YouTube and mashup the concept. So rather than turning to Page XX to select an action for your hero hedgehog you simply click on the interactive […]
The Three Stages of Gaming
Another classic Chuck and Beans from the Shoebox. Also; this is very true.
Warning! Let this video caution all weapon collectors
If you’re lucky enough to have a cool looking rifle with bayonet then do use Skype to show it off to friends. You won’t be bothered by the police. That said; if you do have a rifle with bayonet then be careful with it or you might cost yourself $3,400 in unexpected expenses. Watch this […]
Are you an RPG gamer? Do not travel on the subway
It’s not safe to travel on the subway if you’re a gamer. A gamer can take their seat and then cast their gaze down the carriage. As the gamer’s perception is greater than the average person, their imagination greater and their closeness to the other dimension greater than than the mundane – the gamer will […]
The Cats RPG LARP or, er, something – alien attack, maybe?
Tom Ska is a YouTube wonder. This could be a LARP based off the Cats RPG. Okay; there are some problems with that; there is no Cats RPG that I’m aware off and the special effects here are rather better than most LARPS. However, if we move on from these problems – surely this is […]
Aliens on Ice
I think this proves there is life in the franchise yet. I’m talking about Alien and Aliens but not Prometheus. If you’re not tracking then Prometheus is the “yes it is” and “no it is not” Alien prequel. This video, however, is clearly Aliens. It’s Aliens on Ice.
