I have touched upon the notion before that in many industries, but gaming especially, if you don’t have an edition, expansion or supplement available for your game that takes advantage of the post-copyright extradimensional behemoth Cthulhu, then you’re missing out. Whatever your take on the Mythos, you need to get it out there. Not to […]

Avalanche!: A Review of The Mysterious Peaks of Baranthar
Scaling the sheer cliffs of the Baranthar Mountains, falling to your death might prove the least of your worries. The elements and unforgiving crags of the Baranthar peaks may prove as dangerous and uninviting as the struggling and desperate settlers that once called it home. However, the evil that lies at the summit poses a […]
Treasures of the Ninth World: A Review of the Cypher and Artifact & Oddities Collections for Numenera
As a planet, we generate a huge amount of waste and while some gets recycled, a lot ends up in landfill. We also have a fair amount ending up in the sea, most of which (the media would suggest) seems to end up in the nexus of the Pacific gyre. Suffice to say, each year […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #4
It’s time for an Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime catch up. The holidays have provided some time to catch up on a series or two. Geek Native’s recently looked at part two of Blue Exorcist and Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere but what of those shows that are being watched one episode at a time? In […]
Don’t piss off Satan: A review of Blue Exorcist part 2
In Blue Exorcist part 1 we meet Rin. It’s a tough ride for Rin as he discovers he’s adopted, his foster father is an exorcist and his “natural father” is Satan himself. Rin even has a brother, but he had been too weak at birth to inherit the demonic taint and the deadly blue flames. […]
Art Noise: A review of One Model Nation
One Model Nation has sat in my to-review pile for a while; too long, according to my notes. To be honest the promise of historical events blended in with fiction wrapped together with an art noise band as the focus of the story had a fight to win my attention. That said; there are two […]
Monsters You’ll Return To: A review of Aunt Marie’s Book of Lore
Aunt Marie was the one who brought Nick Burkhardt into the world of the Wesen and the role of the Grimm. It’s through her caravan filled with artefacts, old tapes (such as old 8mm tape footage from the Second World War) and especially old books that Nick is able to read up on the new […]
Boob ninja: A review of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere part 2
It seems pointless to deny that any reviewer who has made it to season 2 of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere and who is still going has considered the anime’s combination of boobs and ninja. In fact; that’s the concise review. Boobs and ninja. In fairness to Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere it […]
A Civil Armageddon: Steed and Mrs Peel review
Josh Whedon’s The Avengers never made the cinema in the UK. The movie people did their market research and concluded the name was taken. Releasing the super hero meets super spy film without changing the name would confuse people. The official UK title was The Avengers Assemble. Mark Waid reminds us why Steed and Mrs […]
Anime icons in London: K-On! The Movie review
I hadn’t seen any of K-On! I had heard of it and it’s reputation as being a good, safe and solid anime but perhaps that’s why it was always on my “maybe one day” rather than my “must watch while I can” list. K-On! The Movie gave me a chance to fix that. In particular, […]
