I never imaged that Goombas could be so tasty. Turns out they’re as tasty as the non-fungus form of mushrooms. That’s right; Mario mushroom cupcakes and some oddly cute looking Goomba cupcakes. Deviant Artist Tomo Chi is the brilliant brain behind this collection. The green ice cream cones were a last minute decision and a […]
The siren song of a meteor shower
The US Air Force Space Surveillance Radar in Texas was able to record the weird and somewhat computer-game like echoes of the Perseid Meteors are they flew over the monitoring centre. These are not dramatic sounds but I found them entirely unexpected. The images from the video include photography from astronaut Ron Garan on the […]
Vigilance Press: Interview with James Dawsey
There have been some recent changes at Vigilance Press. At the start of the month Chuck Rice, company founder, launched the Vigilance Blog. Over on Facebook Chuck Rice also announced that James Dawsey had not only joined the company but had taken the position as owner and publisher. Rice is expected to stay on both […]
Kevin Eslinger’s surreal Sesame Street
Artist Kevin Eslinger has the ability to take the familiar, such as images from our past, and rework them in subtle but dramatic ways. These re-drawings of some old Sesame Street favourites are not hugely changed and yet, well, they feel dramatically different.
Mobile Review: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Sony Ericsson have been among the earliest providers of consumer friendly smartphone technology, long before the term ‘smartphone’ gained widespread traction among today’s increasingly mobile-savvy shoppers. Throughout the early to mid noughties they produced a line of Symbian-driven touchscreen handsets that helped define a vision of what convergence devices had to offer. Over the past […]
Mass Effect cosplay: Samara
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 […]
