What’s your view on unboxing videos? Some people wish they would crawl off to the plane of Lawful Evil and die. Other people point out there’s a huge difference between unboxing videos which really just show a product coming out of a box and those unboxing videos that go a step further and show the […]
What’s so great about Doctor Who?
A shout out to Deviant artist Wallabri for this quick, effective and funny Doctor Who comic. You should check Wallabri’s Deviant Art collection though; I especially like this Portal 2 image. Anyway; on with the Who!
Daffy Duck the Wizard
Explore why Daffy Duck’s heavy metal persona The Wizard is a perfect parody of TTRPG tropes, featuring D&D references and Daedric runes.
Dungeon Master Gurls
I missed this last year. I’ve two theories as to how that managed to happen. Theory 1: I reached California Gurls parody overload. In a defensive move my brain developed a way to ignore anything that mentioned Katy Perry, California Gurls and perhaps even the word “parody” on Youtube. Theory 2: I was distracted by […]
Spinal Tap, er, Spinal Tape!
This is Sparta Spinal Tape. It looks cool and funky. This will surely sell like hot cakes come Halloween and I think of a geek or three who would appreciate this. Amazon says this is “Tachion packing tape”. Confusion! What is that? It’s not “Tachyon packing tape” – although that would be impressive; time tape. […]
Marty Feldman: The Biography of a Comedy Legend review
I approached Robert Ross’s Marty Feldman biography with a degree of apprehension. Just to be clear, I approach any biography with apprehension. If I like the subject of the book then the biography risks shattering my perceptions and that’s a concern. In this case I was not all that aware of whom Marty Feldman was. […]
T-Mobile trolling drivers
I don’t have a car. I live 3 minutes from work and spend at least one day travelling to the airport to fly to London. If I had a car it would either sit outside my flat or in an expensive airport car park. That’s why watching this T-Mobile ad is especially funny for me. […]
RPG Musical: Role Initiative
Okay, keep playing through the first few seconds of over dramatised musical and the actual video begins. This video is actually an entry for the 2011 Windy City 72 hour film competition. If that means they only had 72 hours to put it together – it’s very good. They had extra requirements; they had to […]
Fffuuu says: Merchants in RPGs are greedy buggers
I think this ffffuuu-style comic is 100% true. There’s no doubt in this blogger’s mind that this is exactly how merchants, traders and shop owners behave in computer RPGs. I suspect merchants and traders might try this approach in some traditional tabletop RPGs too! What do you think?
The Toilet Monster
Some monsters are especially scary because they’re good at getting you while you’re vulnerable. Imagine, then, that you might pay actual money in order to lure one into your home and into your smallest room. Yes; I’m speaking of the dreaded loo demon, the toilet monster, the crapper creature, the bog boggin! This dangerous menace […]
