GO POP : Issue # 3
Welcome readers! The writer has spent almost every scrap of spare time this week listening to the hurricane of puns that is The Bugle podcast, which has helped keep him (relatively) sane in the chaos. He’s about to embark on 3 weeks of holidays, which will mostly be spent unpacking his house and sleeping in. It's a hard life, but someone has to do it... Welcome to the latest Go Pop blog, the companion to the weeklyGO POP : Issue # 1
Welcome gentle readers! The writer is moving house, so his week has been boxing things, junking things and wondering ‘Why the hell did I buy this thing?’, with more to follow once the unpacking commences. Anyhow, you might be wondering what’s going on. Let me explain. No, that will take too long, let me sum up. We’re now partnering with the new show Go Pop, to being you all the latest in...The Week in Geek Issue # 141
Welcome dear readers! The writer is moving house again soon, which is awesome, as his new house gets actual natural light and isn’t a small dank cave but incredibly annoying as he got several new video games for his birthday and now has no time to play them! The big news this week is a lot of trailers: there’s the first looks at Catching Fire and RIPD...The Week in Geek Issue # 140
Hello dear readers! We’re back, relatively refreshed after the break and recovered from running at EyeCon over the long weekend. The usual post-convention exhaustion swiftly gave way to a pile of new game ideas, some of which might deserve to see the light of day. Now, before we go any further, we can’t forget that the Fantastic Planet Film Festival kicked off...The Week in Geek Issue # 139
Greetings dear readers! The writer’s been in a mad frenzy this week, preparing his game for EyeCon 2013 and working himself up into a barely controlled frenzy for TableTop Day! Basically, he’s been racing round like an 8 year old on a sugar rush and is desperately hoping he doesn’t crash until about 8:30 Monday night. It’s been...The Week in Geek Issue # 138
Greetings dear readers, The writer has been fairly pre-occupied this week, so we’re going to get straight into the news! The big news this week was going to be the test footage for Ant-Man from last year’s Comic Con, but that vanished from the internet about 10 seconds after it arrived. If you can find it again, you’ve better Google-Fu than I do. In other big news, Face...The Week in Geek Issue # 137
Welcome dear readers, The writer’s not done much this week outside of finishing his Eyecon game (Con sessions are filling fast - book now!), so we’ll head right to what you actually come here to read! The week’s big news is the ending of The Clone Wars, with Lucasfilm announcing the show...The Week in Geek Issue # 136
Greetings gentle readers! The writer is still quaking with joy (In a good way) over Sam Witwer responding to a tweet of his about playing classic space shooter game TIE Fighter. He’s not sure what it says about him that he was *this* close to screaming at the top of his lungs with joy at the time, but right now he doesn’t care. This week’s top stories are the release of a new Iron Man 3 trailer...The Week in Geek Issue # 135
Welcome gentle readers! We’ll get the self-promoting out of the way early, as registration for Eyecon 2013 has opened! Get set for an Easter weekend full of gaming, geekery and meeting new people! In a beautiful piece of scheduling, the Saturday of the con is also the first Table Top Day, a celebration of all things gaming started by Felicia Day’s web channel, Geek...The Week in Geek Issue # 134
Greetings dear readers! Lunchtimes at the writer’s job have been a lot more fun of late, as he’s got his department at work hooked on playing Apples to Apples. He’s hoping to introduce them to the white knuckle terror of a game that is Pandemic soon, but that will have to wait till we finish the Doctor Who jigsaw puzzle we’re working...
