I recently touched on my desire for my own personal recording device in the form of a robot camera that could follow me around and capture all those little moments that always seem so awesome and worth sharing, but which never come across as any more than a “eh, you had to be there” in [...]

Sho: HI!! So, um, Dugal told me I should do an intro today to start this special week off. I’m kinda nervous, but he said it should be…
Guise: Sho…hey…what’s going on?
Sho: Hey, I’m here to introduce the first blog of the week.
Guise: …and you are dressed in a [...]

Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night!
So for Friday night I decided that I was going to have a night of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wanted to write about something that always stuck with me about the movie.
No, it isn’t a review of the movie, as [...]

NaBloPoMo: Day Nine (Delayed to 16/07/09)
I’ve mentioned before my love of the Dreadnoks from the GI Joe toy range, so thought I’d just provide a simple overview of the guys and girls that make up one of the best gangs in anytown.
Zartan
The leader of the Dreadnoks and fairly out of place in that role in [...]

NaBloPoMo: Day Five (Delayed to 11/07/09)
I’ve mentioned before about how my brothers and I grew up on Action Force, the UK re-brand of GI Joe, and about my support for COBRA and the Dreadnoks over the good guys of the series – for one thing, Cobra actually had a uniformed military organisation and supporting named [...]

Toys and superheroes are a sure fire bet, whenever a cartoon series with a cool character comes along you can guarantee there will most likely be some kick-ass toys to accompany it – by the way, still looking for Ben10’s Gwen, GI Joe Dreadnoks and a Cyclonus that doesn’t fall about mid-transformation.
DC have always had [...]

“What gives you the right? What’s the difference between you and me?!”
“I’m not wearing hockey pads.”
The Dark Knight
If there is one thing that Higglytown Heroes teaches us, it is that everyone is a hero in there own right. Alright, so maybe doctors, police and firefighters train to hone their skills but don’t get to [...]

There was a recent news story that has such a level of pure awesomeness to it that it has to be shared, not least because I know our wonderful friend, Dio, will much appreciate the Nordical connection.
Godly reckoning for home intruder
An intruder received a taste of divine reckoning as he was chased [...]

I’ve procrastinated a long time on this one, I admit. I’ve been rather pre-occupied with other things and random thoughts. Some of you, I know, have been waiting patiently; others have been waiting impatiently; and, some couldn’t really care less. The latter will probably find this most appealing because I’m not quite sure how to [...]

Guise Dugal: Kyah! (Drops from the ceiling dressed in black hoodie, pants and black towel wrapped around neck)
Dugal Dugal: Holy cr…
Guise: Hi?
Dugal: Dude, what the hell?! Where’d you come from, and what the hell is up with you voice?
Guise: Ah…you noticed my manly, gravelly growl?
Dugal: It sounds like strep…
Guise: No, I’m…BatRogue! I talk like this [...]

Rich Hall pointed out on television this one time how, despite his vast wealth, you never really see Bill Gates smile. See, billionaires who are happy and jovial are nearly always publicity hungry and constantly one with the crowd, Bill Gates is a grumpy sod because of a secret. Deep inside he’s had either childhood [...]

In August 2006, I referred to a man called William Lyttle, who had been dubbed “The Mole Man” for his, some would say ‘eccentric’ behaviour. If you didn’t see it, it’s here.
Mr Lyttle, at the age of 75, was ordered by the local council to leave his £1m Victorian property, originally two properties that he [...]

As I’ve previously stated, I loved the Dreadnoks when I was younger, and still hold a soft spot for them to this day.
Though the cartoon version of the ‘noks portrayed them as brainless, incompetent goons who were more like childish bullies than a deadly gang, the comic portrayed them in a different light. All [...]

Being born in 1981, I grew up in what I’d consider one of the Golden Ages for children’s toys. As a child there was always a new fad to get in to and a new idea just emerging to take over from that one. Regrettably, there were two things standing in my way from fully [...]
