Goliath Games has a very popular kid’s game that you might be able to scoop up this Christmas. You’ll have to be quick because it’s expected to be a big seller. It’s called Doggie Doo. The object of the game is to feed the dog, make it poop and pick the poop up. Good news. […]
Dungeons and Dragons 4th ed cheat codes
Many computer games have cheat codes that the knowing can use to great advantage. Cheat codes may grant extra lives, automatically level you up or even make you impossible to kill. Never seen the attraction in them myself unless it was to power back to a place in the game you’d gotten to before some […]
Level 1 characters attempt to duel
Have you ever played in a RPG that featured game mechanics that hated level 1 characters? It’s the sort of game that newly created heroes have very little chance of hitting anything but the lowest level enemies and no chance of hitting – say – another level 1 character? Games like that spring to mind […]
Moves like Jabba! Dances like Leia?
Had enough with the great Lucas tinkering with Star Wars? You might not remember all these scenes from Return of the Jedi but fear not, this time it’s not Lucas but Break, having ago at re-working things. Yes, there’s a dancing slave Leia. As it happens, this blogger can recall a previous Break video that […]

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. […]
