The usual story of zombies wanting their Greggs sausage rolls. I imagine on those mornings I stumble into Greggs on the hunt for some breakfast I have a similar appearance and way of walking. Doctor Who fans from America who may not be familiar with the Greggs brand might still enjoy the video anyway because […]
The Lord of the Rings Project
Tolkien’s characters had a rich history. Aragorn could trace his family tree back generations. Meet a dwarf and you would stand a good chance of discovering who is father and grandfather were then and there. In an incredible project, Swedish engineering student Emil Johansson is attempting to map all these relationships and family connections. The […]
Mad scientist builds working Tesla Gun
The mad scientist in question is Rob Flickenger. Dangerous Rob had help from Hazard Factory and Hackerbot Labs to make this gun – and it’s a real gun. Sure, it may look clunky and something out of a comic (actually, it’s out of The Five Fits of Science) but this device can shock at 20,000 […]
Popcorn Horror’s push for fan financing and rewards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaFctNaizdU [Support this Campaign] This is an interesting Indiegogo pitch from Popcorn Horror. It’s interesting because, like Indiegogo, it is also a pitch for an alternative form of financing. However, what Popcorn Horror are suggesting is a way to make money from content once the film has been made. There are few ways beyond YouTube […]
Disney sci-fi mashup
Imagine some of your favourite Disney characters if they were given key roles in popular sci-fi films. The old guy from Up? He’d make an excellent Obi-Wan. Mike from Monsters would be a ready-green Yoda. As it happens Amy Mebberson takes this concept and makes it work well. You’re bound to see a favourite in […]
Disney Princesses as Doctor Who
Princesses mashup posts are, for some reason, very popular on Geek Native. Step forward Amy Mebberson who has taken the core idea of the Disney Princess and gone one step forward by picking Doctor Who for the mashup. Jasmine as Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh Doctor is pretty cool – expect a surge in Seventh Doctor interest […]
Watch the Gloam
This is a short film by David Elwell and Gareth Hughes. It follows the gloam. This is a short adventure of a solitary creature, roaming through the woods when it encounters something that catches its curiosity. Presented here as fantastic inspiration for GMs in the run-up to Halloween. Ready to watch something else? Click this […]
Star Wars figures: Dead Ewok
Long time readers of Geek Native might well remember the charred Uncle Owen Star Wars figure. That particular bit of grim humour, I think, came from Think Geek. Not sure who came up with the Dead Ewok figure but it’s trying for the same goal.
Doctor Who: Cleric Wars augmented reality game
There’s a free app called Cleric Wars for the iPhone and some Android phones that looks interesting. The Clerics in question are ones we’ve seen on Doctor Who. In The Time of Angels we had military Clerics from the Church investigating an area that turned out to be rich in Weeping Angels. This AR game […]
Hacked Portal gun actually levitates companion cube
The brains at Hack A Day have put together a somewhat functional Portal gun. These are the guns that let you load companion cubes around with wild abandon.
