Super Mario goes Steampunk

| 11. April 2012

Now this is something genuinely beautiful and inspired. A Super Mario themed Steampunk Cosplay: There is more cosplay and related photography in Ashley Anderson’s gallery on DeviantArt.

Halloween is upon us and for this reason I am blatantly going to steal my friend Hilde’s design she posted over at the Gatehouse blog, but before, here comes the cultist: Halloween is, according to the holy and wholesome writ of the Great Prophet Howard, one of the most important festivals of the Cult of [...]

Good Friends And Mindblowing Games

| 22. Oktober 2011

Yesterday, an old friend who happened to be in the area payed my little family a visit. Time was once again far too short… Ah well, there will be another CaveCon and we will surely meet again. The reason I am telling you this: He brought my attention to Guild Wars 2, and MMO I [...]
