Okami is Capcom game for the PlayStation 2 which features a wolf hero that’s become very popular among geeks. The name Okami, depending on how you write it, could mean “great god” or “wolf”. The wolf is called Amaterasu who is based on the Japanese sun goddess. Melita Curphy, also known as Miss Monster, has […]
Goblin riders for your dog’s costume
I’ve mixed feelings about dressing up for dogs for any occassion. However, if the dog likes the attention (and some seem to) and is nicely rewarded then I guess it’s okay. It also helps if the costume is cool. If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan and know all about those dangerous goblins riding […]
Life-like Futurama pictures
Are you a Futurama fan? Jared Krichevsky is. The CG artist is gaining attention, with work featured on io9 and attracting the attention of native geeks. Check out Lrrr, Kif and Nibbler.
Tardis dress with alternative Tardis tights
Black Milk rose to geek attention years ago with an R2-D2 swimsuit and Darth Vader swimsuit range. Well, Artoo and Darkside swimsuit ranges for copyright reasons. This time around we have a “Police Box” set but I’m just going to truncate Police Box with “Tardis”. These geeky hihg fashion designs have swept the internet and […]

Velociraptor terrorises shoppers in Melbourne
This is an oldie, but a goodie, and worth sharing again. This cheeky Velociraptor terrorises good natured shoppers in a centre in Melbourne. The so-called handlers really don’t have much influence on the beast at all. Above all, this is an amazing piece of pupperty. I couldn’t hear a single engine, so I don’t think […]
LEGO turns 80: The LEGO story
LEGO is a brand with an incredible family story attached. August the 10th, 2012 was LEGO’s 80th birthday. This video is about 20 minutes long but I found it very easy to watch. It tells the story of the carpenter who started LEGO, where the name came from and how the LEGO brick system was […]
Cydaea: The Maiden of Lust cosplay
Cydaea is a boss (minor) level encounter in Diablo III. She’s a demon, lieutenant and concubine of Azmodan. Cain the Elder, the last living human in the line of Horadric mages, says this of Cydaea. “Though Azmodan is close to all of his lieutenants, Cydaea is his special favourite. The Maiden of Lust is both […]
Strangely cute robots built from reclaimed objects
This is art – but it’s also geeky art. Italian artist Andrea Petrachi builds these wonderful looking, fantasy, robotic constructs from bits and pieces that have been discarded. He uses lens, cameras and doll parts for heads, for example, forks for hands and wire for legs. I think they’re stunning and a successfully odd mix […]
Steampunk Darth Vader conversion
Jen at Epbot has a fantastic post which walks her audience through a project that started in May. It begins as a $30 Vader helmet & mask combo by Rubies and then the saw comes out as we’re just working on the bottom half. Jen describes the cutting experience as “terrifying” due to hot and […]
