The 10 Most Annoying Star Wars Characters
With the release of The Phantom Menace in 3D to theaters, George Lucas has once again thrust Jar-Jar Binks upon the masses. But the wretched Gungan hardly has a monopoly on defacing the Star Wars universe. Here are ten characters at least as annoying as Jar-Jar — maybe even more so. Read more »

Valve Responds to Fan Petitions
A few weeks ago, a group of Valve fans got together to sign a petition for a “peaceful protest.” Their complaint was Valve’s refusal to comment on the future of the Half-Life franchise, since it’s been five long years since the release of HL: Episode Two. Read more »

All Ages
Marvel’s announcement that they are abandoning the actually quite fine Marvel Adventures label in favour of tying in with the current animated continuity led by the equally fine Avengers: Earth’s Greatest Heroes, contains a number of lessons that I think the other companies (especially DC) would do well to take heed of. It certainly makes marketing sense to connect with the cartoon continuity, for as long as it lasts. Looking back to repeated seasons of ‘x’: The Animated Series to X-Men Evolution and the dozen or so iterations of Spider-Man with or without Amazing Friends, one need not expect these tie-ins to stand the test of time, but then again Read more »
Plausibility of Deaths in Another
One of the new anime airing this season, titled ‘Another’, is a horror series that uses shocking deaths in order to scare the audience. As of the end of episode 5, there have been 3 deaths, but just how likely are they to happen, and is there really anything to be afraid of? Any good geek will probably wonder about the plausibility of such events. Below is a simple guide to the first three deaths in Another. Just a warning, there are spoilers and graphic images/videos in this post. Death #1 – Falling Down the Stairs and Being Impaled by an Umbrella The first death in the series was clearly Read more »
The Art Of The Franchise Crossover
While there is little on this week’s shipping list that fills me with enthusiasm, this is by far made up for with the news that IDW are releasing another of their franchise crossovers. As a science fiction fan since a small child, then this is a landmark event. What are the two biggest names in science fiction? (And bear in mind that I am British as I ask this.) One perpetuates an idealistic view of the future, where mankind can rise above its differences and work together in harmony, while the other promotes the heroism of the individual, the anti-establishment icon that can correct a society gone wrong. I speak Read more »
14 Anime for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is a time for love and romance, but if you’re an anime geek and flowers and chocolates aren’t your thing, then you could consider a night of anime. Here are 14 anime that deal with love and romance. Just a warning – as with real love, not all of them have a happy ending. Kimi ni Todoke One of the sweetest high school romances in the last few years is Kimi ni Todoke. For most of her life, Sawako Kuronuma has been alone because of her looks – she so closely resembles the girl that climbs out of the well in “The Ring” that everyone calls her Sadako. Read more »

Geeks Versus Hipsters
I don’t know about you, but I have heard one too many people say they’re geeks of some sort, but I have not heard a single individual claim to be a hipster. If you think about it, proclaiming that you are a hipster – or a geek for that matter – can be enough to contradict the label. I could be wrong, but that’s how I see it. No matter what my opinion on the issue may be, it seems that there is a battle going on between geeks and hipsters. I guess I have been out of the loop for a while as I was totally not aware of Read more »
Artist Carves Landscapes Into Books
Now this is what I call recycling. Artist Guy Laramee uses old, outdated books (like obsolete editions of Encyclopedia Britannica) as his medium, carving and sand-blasting jaw-dropping landscapes into them. Read more »
