I'm not really a converse fan. Eternal emo Avril Lavinge ruined them for me (and continues to do so). But these Limited Edition Super Mario Converse might just win me back over to the brand.

Green Lantern – Dork Review
This is one of those gigs where, reviewing it after many already have, I find judgment has been done for me.

Surely people were just being nice because it happened to be a bit better than your average kids' show? Nope. Turns out it's just … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 4 – Dork Review

But it doesn't have to be this way! This year, you can either get your dad yet another pair of novelty cuff … [Read more...]

This time last year, I gave you a round up of the best gadgets for camping. I think it's time for an update, don't you? After all, everyone is camping these days. It's cheap! It's fun!
