Longboarding with Gandalf

April 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if Gandalf the Grey look up longboarding? Why not? The longboard is a far better sport vehicle for Gandalf than skis, rollerstakes or even the traditional skateboard. Watch the video below to see why the longboard suits Gandalf so well.

LEGO overload [infographic]

It’s been a LEGO week. My guess is that the tills over at the LEGO shop are ringing happily. Where to start? Okay. Let’s start by trying to creep you out. This LEGO minifig of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings set is pretty darn creepy. Sinister little thing. That didn’t freak me out […]

Nazgul: The Office

November 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What would it be like to work in The Witch King’s office? I think it would have some perks but I would worry about the tech savvy of The Nazgul. This is the challenge the 10th Nazgul, Frank, faces. He was brought in to help with the Windows Vista upgrade. Yeah. That’s pretty evil.
