Character illustrations for those who can’t draw: A review of ePic Character Generator
It’s frustrated for me for as long as I can remember; I can’t draw. I’ve been envious of friends with the talent to create little sketches of their roleplaying characters and NPCs. Needless to say I was interested when ePic Character Generator popped up on Steam for free. The software really is free. Yeah, of […]
Cybernetic ghosts: A review of Ghost in the Shell – The New Movie
“The New Movie” might not be a very original name for the Ghost in the Shell’s title but it the technique kinda works – promising more of the same. I think that approach works for Ghost in the Shell as The Force Awakens works for Star Wars. We’ve had some experimentation with prequels, Ghost in […]
Adult Pokemon battles: A review of Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Blade Dance of the Elementalers begins with fan service – except we don’t know the characters yet so it’s more ‘service’ and less ‘fan’. That sets the tone for the series and suits the outro song about knee high socks. It’s easy to poke fun at Blade Dance of the Elementalers. So many of the […]
Blood and Graph Paper: a review of Tomb of the Iron God
There’s an ancient monastery, or there was, and the locals can’t quite account for it. In truth, most of them look too fearful to want to even think about it. The temple of the Iron God once served as the final resting place for anyone in the area, whether noble or peasant. Now, the temple […]
They look like us! A review of the live action Parasyte movie
I rather liked the Parasyte anime, especially the start of the series when we were discovering all about the alien invasion and everything was going so badly wrong. I thought the ending was a bit luke warm but since the live action adaption of the series is split into two I knew I wouldn’t have […]
Marked by Calamity: A Review of Fantasy Age – Children’s Crusade
A major calamity has left the land in disarray and a religious cult has chosen to take advantage of the moment. They have ‘marked’ certain children as a source of corruption, seeking to use them as a sacrifice for their deity; more level-headed folk have chosen to assist the children, orphans of the calamity, by […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #25
All aboard! It’s a Irregular Reconnaissance catch up. Not read through an Irregular Reconnaissance before? It’s a simple format; a half dozen or so anime titles get given a mini-review. The catch? We’re looking at episodic titles in bits and pieces here. The Irregular Reconnaissance format lets you keep up with streaming series or check […]
Compelling enough to make you forget how strange it is: A review Brynhildr in the Darkness
There’s no beating about the bush – any anime which is fond of melting characters, sometimes key characters, is going to be classified as a bit strange. Oddly, Brynhildr in the Darkness makes it work! There’s a mix of high drama, gore and fan service here but the drama keeps everything together. We kick off […]
Tostadora: The new kid on the geeky wall art block
I’m in the market for wall art. I moved flat over the Christmas holiday, now have a wall beside my computer and enough space to hang three geeky prints. It’s been quite a challenge. I want the three prints to be complementary but also want to reflect a wide range of geekiness; fantasy, sci-fi and […]
