There was no shortage of very impressive cosplay at GenCon this year. In fact, GenCon must surely be an established cosplay brand by now. Mass Effect is both a popular CRPG and a hard game to cosplay. Step forward to this Samara cosplayer who does so very well. That’s pretty impressive Shepard cosplay armour behind […]
Cheeky Wheatley Puppet
Wheatley is one of the stars of Portal 2. He’s cheeky. He has a strange charisma. He’s a round robot with a glowing blue eye – well, eye-like thing. Furin Cosplay took a large lump of florist foam and made a fantastic Wheatley puppet. You can read about it all in a fantastic blog post […]
The Toilet Monster
Some monsters are especially scary because they’re good at getting you while you’re vulnerable. Imagine, then, that you might pay actual money in order to lure one into your home and into your smallest room. Yes; I’m speaking of the dreaded loo demon, the toilet monster, the crapper creature, the bog boggin! This dangerous menace […]
Emergency Defibrillator
My initial reaction was to laugh at this. What was yours? I’m asking because I’m pretty sure there’s a percentage of people who wouldn’t laugh. They’d worry. They’d scold. They’d point out how dangerous this is. They’d be right too. Well, unless this photo was staged briefly just for our amusement and then the defibrillator […]
How to create an original Stormtrooper helmet
In July Geek Native covered Andrew Ainsworth’s victory over Lucasfilm in the Stormtrooper Wars. The battle was over use of the famous Stormtrooper armour – created years ago. If the courts decided they were works of art the Lucasfilm could still protect their image and use. Lucasfilm lost. The famous Stormtrooper helmet is not a […]
Sillof’s Serial Wars does retro Star Wars
Geek Native has pointed the spotlight on Sillof’s Star Wars modded models before. It’s easy to do it again with his new line of “Serial Wars”. Conjure up memories of the golden oldie serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers and that’s what we mean by “serial”. The result is a line of Star Wars […]
Cute baby Wampa
This rather cute baby snow wampa was created by Scrumptious Delight (Flickr link) for an art show called “Stitch Wars Strikes Back” which will run in Lauderhill, FL, from August 12th to Sep 25th. Scrumptious Delight has an Etsy stall and perhaps if there’s enough demand we’ll have wonderfully handcrafted and cute baby wampas zooming […]
Making a mini-cannon from a BBQ lighter
I’m sure this is a challenge we’ve all wrestled with. You have a BBQ lighter. You’ve a large collection of airsoft pellets. Sounds good? But you’ve no way of using your BBQ lighter to fire those airsoft pellets with geeky vengence. Good news! This helpful video will walk you through the steps needed to transform […]
The Trollface train
I can’t tell you much about this picture – but I wanted to share it. This scary train was surfaced by a Russian LiveJournal account without any credit to any artist. It’s described as “trollface”. I can certainly see trolls with faces in there! I rather like “trollface train” as a title for it. Checking […]
Batman Dinosaur
How’s this for a mashup? Batman plus dinosaur. Dinosaur plus Batman. This phot was taken in Pittsburgh USA along with the suggestion that it’s part of the city celebrating the filing of Batman Rises there. Let’s hope it’s not a fake like the Catwoman photos that whisked around the internet a few days ago. Photo […]
