My initial reaction was to laugh at this. What was yours? I’m asking because I’m pretty sure there’s a percentage of people who wouldn’t laugh. They’d worry. They’d scold. They’d point out how dangerous this is. They’d be right too. Well, unless this photo was staged briefly just for our amusement and then the defibrillator […]

Danger ahead!
Some parts of the office are not safe. In this blogger’s case he’s aware that some people venture up to the third floor, to the land of the finance department, and never return. People whisper of wild accountants that roam the hallways with timesheets and other horrors. Scary, scary stuff. Finally, now we have a […]
Kaley Cuoco warns of Slave Leia syndrome
Is it possible to have too many Slave Leias at a convention? Actress Kaley Cuoco thinks so! Whereas she stresses she’s not against cosplay girls dressing as Slave Leia, she cautions against Slave Leia fatigue in this helpful Public Service Ad from America. You may recognise her from the Big Bang Theory. I do. Thanks […]
Does your RPG suffer from female armour syndrome?
I nearly opened this blog post with “I wonder what the figures are…” that would have been a bad start. Let’s return to figure issues later. I wonder what the stats are; the percentage of male gamers who play female characters versus the percentage of female gamers who play male characters. Of the male gamers […]
Alien loo sign – chromosomes give directions
I can only begin to speculate at which conference this loo sign appeared at. I know, however, that I should have been at it. I’m no designer but I think it’s clever how the humanoid woman is on the far right of the female half of the sign and the humanoid male is on the […]

Some people may think that aliens, sleeping dragons, portal generators and Cthulhu stalking the ocean play no part in our day to day lives. These people are wrong.

With the space/time unit running you’re able to take items out of the screen and make them real or put real items into the iPad and make them virtual. Simon Pierro has an exclusive demo of […]
Wikileaks and #superinjunction busting versus Bruce Wayne
There’s a lot to be said for the freedom of free speach. There’s also a lot to be said in stopping the super rich using the courts as their own play thing. Mind you, there’s also a lot to be said for telling the tabloids where to go and having a healthy respect for the […]
Quick! To the Bat Mobile!
Expectations are dangerous. Yeah. Even to Batman. If this was an actual Batman prank it may count as the best one the Joker ever pulled. I think we should pitch the idea DC Comics. They’re going to re-number Batman comics for us; might as well start with a blast. No?
The Daily Record’s Doctor Who fail – Tardis or Turd?
The British tabloid The Daily Record ended up calling a poor kid names after a typesetting cockup that makes even the worst “publish your own RPG” efforts look truely professional.
