Brian Wood runs Awesome Dice shop and accompanying blog. Selling die online is surprisingly competitive and there’s a far greater range of options than even some experienced roleplayers might imagine. When Brian dropped Geek Native a note about a rather clever WordPress dice roller I thought it might be wise to get a walkthrough from the man himself.
Pingu does The Thing
When I write that Pingu does The Thing – I mean that he remakes John Carpenter’s The Thing. I’m sure Pingu can do many things. Pingu, of course, is an animated putty penguin. John Carpenter’s The Thing is a classic, important but rather gory horror encounter. In fact, The Thing’s gore only sometimes creeps into […]
Wipeout with recreated with Quantum Levitation
If you need a quick introduction to quantum levitation then this link has a pretty funky video. We get to see objects zooming around. We learn that we’re not really using magnets either.
As cool as that introductory video is – it doesn’t come close to the geekgasim of recreating the insanely fast paced racing game Wipeout by using quantum levitation. The vapour trails are just too perfect.
TechRadar launches TechRadarDeals for, um, deals!
The latest twist is TechRadarDeals which looks to tap into the discount culture that grew to dangerous size in 2011. We’re promised lots of 50% and more discounts from the site but only one at a time. In fact, there’s even a count down timer for how long the deal is valid for.
The deadly cute of art of Christopher Uminga
Do check out the website of Christopher Uminga as he draws some fantasticly cute and dangerous comic book heroes and villians. He also takes commission. A sample of his work recently surfaced on Buzzfeed, which I’ll repost some of below, so I imagine he’ll be very busy with new requests. You’ll see from the sample […]
Sexy Star Wars cosplay?
There’s no shortage of Star Wars heavy Tumblrs on the web and certainly no shortage of Star Wars inspired photographs. However, Fashionably Geek recently posted a picture of a sexy Star Wars cosplay – with the catch that the model was dressed up as an Twi’lek (the ones with the brain tentacles) – which started […]
Darth Vader actor dies
Which actor is Darth Vader for you? A quick straw poll around this blogger’s flat suggests that most people go with either James Earl Jones (voice) or David Prowse. Prowse didn’t wear the Vader suit all the time, though. Sebastian Shaw was the unmasked Vader in Return of the Jedi. There was also Bob Anderson […]
The warrior woman photography of Andrey Yakovlev and Lili Aleeva
The Russian pair have a fantastic eye for photographic fantasy. The Photodom site has some more examples of their work – be a little cautious as some of the shots are a little sexy in the name of art – and they’re also active on Behance.
Portal Christmas tree
Are you doing Christmas this year? How about doing Christmas with a twist? A portal twist? This rather awesome picture shows exactly that – a portal Christmas tree.
Amazing landscapes carved into books
This set of artwork from the multi-talented Guy Laramee is simply amazing. Guy is a writer, a painter, singer, sculptor and even makes instruments. That explains where all my artistic talent went, mine and five other people – all our art skills ended up in Guy instead. That said, I’m still a geek. I can’t […]
