    The Sofa Deck

    This weekend past, I was invited by a good friend of mine to come and check out his new product at the filming for its Kickstarter. So I headed down, and met with Lauri0s, a Twitch streamer and another good friend, and Faye, the Videographer used, as well as Kyle Fuller, the brain child behind Sofa Deck. So what is Sofa Deck? Well, Kyle recently moved to London, and found himself in an apartment where he could no longer fit a desk. For a Gamer, this is a tragedy, as we all know some of the best PC Gaming is done with a Keyboard and Mouse, right? Well, he thought…

    Terror in Resonance

    Terror in Resonance Been a couple of months since my last review, not that I’ve had a shortage of Anime to write about, I’ve actually been managing to get through a number of them, but the one I’ve just watched really stood out for me. Terror in Resonance, is a hard one to review, as it invokes so many emotions while watching it, especially as it approaches it’s climax, I find myself struggling to put into words what it is that made this short Anime so good, but I guess the beginning is a good place. The story follows these two teenagers, one very stoic and serious, the other very…

    Farewell to one of our own.

    It’s with a heavy heart that we must say farewell to one of our own…. For the last 7 years we have had the pleasure of owning the Toko Retreat space tent.. Its even in our logo.. This 18 man tent has been with us for the first time at Toko 2008 where it held pride of place as you arrived at Tokonatsu with banners flying. One year we even added another tent to the back to make it into a 6 pod tent of doom! All were welcome and always will be… but… this last year at Toko it showed its age.. The downpour was to much for the…

    Hunter X Hunter (2011)

    Hunter X Hunter (2011) OK, so Hunter X Hunter is an Anime that was recommended to me a long time ago, but I never got to watching it at the time. Since then a new series was released back in 2011, re-telling the story, and reportedly staying closer to the Manga than before. While flicking through Netflix for a new Anime, it pops up with 5 seasons available (many not having more than 1 or 2) so I think, why not? I was not disappointed. Granted, it starts feeling very familiar, with a kid wanting to set out on a journey to prove himself, and to find out the mystery…

    Kill La Kill!

    Kill La Kill So, here we have one of the newer Anime, Season 1 appearing entirely on Netflix, and Season 2 in production. When going into Kill la Kill, you have to keep in mind that the budget wasn’t massive for this kind of thing, and it shows sometimes, but really, only sometimes. In fact, this is the company Trigger’s first original television Anime project, and directed written by the guys who worked on Gurren Lagann (coincidently, this will be my next review!), so they’ve done a good job, while bringing some great experience to the table. The Art style I find reminding me of Anime from the late 80s…
