While fishing through my favourite gaggle of Russian blogs I came across these two pictures from Andrea Femerstand. I like these Russian blogs for their ability to surface content I’d not normally have found but they’re useless at giving credit. Thankfully Andrea signed the pictures and has an unique enough name to let me track […]

Beware the hopscotch ooze
A game character would never fall for this – but a gamer would. If you want to slow your players down as they make their way bravely through an orc infested dungeon – draw some squiggles on the ground. PCs will stop and stare at ‘strange marketings’ for a while and they’d likely treat any […]
New Clash of the Titans trailer
I’m really looking forward to the new Warner Bros Clash of the Titans. If it’s anything less than awesome I’m going to be disappointed. I imagine because of Sam Worthington’s Avatar success the movie’s going to be much more popular than it would have been otherwise. This will mean a crowded cinema. Bah! Just for […]

Monsuno monsters are coming
The US’s third largest toy producer Jakks has signed a deal with the Japanese animation giant Dentsu to create an anime TV show based around monsters. It’ll be called Monsuno. It’s a simple plan. Make the show. Sell the toys. It’s a formula that’s worked very well in the past but this is Jakks’ first […]
Pictures: Mundane scaring monsters
These two brilliant bits of art hit my radar via a Russian LiveJournal that often discovers neat stuff. The Journal rarely gives credit so I don’t know who the mastermind behind these two are (let me know) and sometimes posts NSFW content so don’t go clicky-clicky! I think my favourite is the bunny holding the […]
Diablo 3: The Morlu Caster
The Morlu first appeared in the Diablo story in the Sin War Trilogy as special elite infantry serving the Triune and Lucion. Fans of the Diablo series have combed through the concept art and compared notes with the Monk’s cinematic movie to discover a new monster type for Diablo 3. The Morlu Caster is expected […]
