Space station cake is unable to defend itself

March 18, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This rather impressive space station cake has only one defence. It looks too good to eat. If you can overcome that challenge then you should be able to take on the full might of this space station yourself and perhaps with one hand behind your back. Recognise it? It’s a replica of a Gallente Space […]

The Murderous Automatons of Tom Kyzivat

March 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tom Kyzivat runs Murderous Automatons, that’s a website rather than a deadly machine army (I hope), and produces illustrations, animation and video. As the name of the site and his deviant art gallery suggests; although he draws a range of things he does seem to enjoy illustrating those murderous automatons. Via the ever watchful Pipedreamergrey […]

Savage Worlds RPG setting, campaign or novel? What is the Twilight Continuum?

March 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mystical Throne Entertainment produce the Savage Worlds magazine Savage Insider and are a platinum publishers at RPGNow. They know their Savage Worlds games and this month Geek Native is giving away their Mercenary Breed setting. In this interview, however, we’re neither talking about Mercenary Breed nor Savage Insider but the Kickstarter project Twilight Continuum. It […]

Second After Earth trailer

March 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I still hold M. Night Shyamalan in pretty high esteem although it does feel like he’s been searching for a hit for a while. It could well be After Earth with the mega star combo of Jaden and Will Smith, playing father and son, will be it. This trailer shows Kitai Rage (Jaden) having to […]

Latest Star Trek Into Darkness trailer looks incredible

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looks good, huh? Glad to see Spock getting a little screen time in this one. Actually, the trailer is clever in that it gives plenty of the bridge crew a look in. There’s a chance to spot your favourite. Benedict Cumberbatch glows with evil. His star will climb further. I don’t know about you but […]

The Wyld Hunt (Agency Case Files) review

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I really enjoyed The Wyld Hunt. It’s a bit of a challenge to find a genre that satisfies; cyberpunk meets noir? That’s close but there’s almost Dune like sci-fi in the background and elements of horror, even Lovecraft inspired horror, just lurking in the background. Agent John Aries works in a far future London in […]

SEAL Team 666 review

March 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

While reading Seal Team 666 I twice described the book as “US SEALs battle demons”. The first time I did so the reaction was; “sounds awful”. The second time the response was; “my kind of book!”. Now I’m using the phrase again in this review. It fits. SEAL Team 666 is the story of an […]

Homes of the Future [infographic]

March 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is one mighty tall infographic but I think it’s worth posting for the art alone. The concept? “Homes of the Future”… but it’s really just a chance to show a timeline of cityscapes. Via Gateway Homes.

A Mindjammer review

February 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I like the science in science fiction. That’s why I like sci-fi, especially gritty sci-fi but rarely those stories set so far in the future that technology seems like magic. Mindjammer is a far future sci-fi. Mankind has explored all across the universe and populated many planets. The expansion fragmented and mankind was left to […]

Short film: The Last Human

February 23, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

If you were the last human alive – how would you ensure mankind continued? Use your DNA to seed new life in the Universe? This short film was produced and directed by Tom Walsh for the Goteborg International Film Festival in 2013. It’s an idea that sci-fi fans will have seen before but The Last […]
