Whip open your paint sets and colour this all shades of cool! This twin bag backpack is your Ghostbusters themed accessory du jour. This bit of geek fashion is brought to us via Think Geek (and other outlets, I’m sure) who feel the need to remind us that this backpack “Does not actually fight ghosts.” […]
The wonderfully sinister art of Berk Ozturk
This short post is to highlight the “must see – can’t look” at or Berk Ozturk. Ozturk has talent not just as an artist and an illustrator but as someone capable to conjuring up those mental images that will linger with you for a long while. It’s no surprise that among his interests we find […]
Real life Portal demo
This short little chunk of theatre performance gets A+ for effort. Not sure if it ranks that highly for impact but I really enjoyed it. It was performed by the Ninja of the Night cosplay group at Fanime 2011. Did you know there was even such as thing as a cosplay group? I didn’t. Geek […]
Deadly, finger-slicing, circular sawblade slingshot
We’ve featured Joerg Sprave on Geek Native before – how could we not. For a starter you could check out his Gatling slingshot and then move on to his machete firing slingshot. Yes, he has hurt himself with these inventions. That’s why I bring up his latest invention with some concern – but also with […]

Connor Anderson Interview: Why did he roll a D6?
“Roll a D6” is a fantastic music video that’s going great guns on YouTube. It’s a spoof of Far East Movement’s Like a G6 and I’ve noticed a fair few bloggers suggest it is far better. The video was put together by Connor Anderson and his team – Broken Record Films – and Connor kindly […]
Fantastic and slightly creepy origami Nazgul
This is pretty slick. I can’t imagine the origami skill required to fold this – it looks very impressive. Look at the Nazgul’s hands; they even have fingers! There’s even a cloak. Combine the excellent origami with the simple idea of picking matt black paper and I think the effect is really impressive. In fact, […]
GM Inspiration: Freaky steampunk bug
This picture was shared by a LiveJournal picture community without credit. If you know the creator please leave a comment – that’s if you’ve not already fled to the next post with a cry of “Eeeew!”. I think this bug is two parts freaky for each part cute. Most of all, perhaps, this picture strikes […]
The Daily Record’s Doctor Who fail – Tardis or Turd?
The British tabloid The Daily Record ended up calling a poor kid names after a typesetting cockup that makes even the worst “publish your own RPG” efforts look truely professional. The article was supposed to about Zachary Smith getting his own Tardis for his birthday. A full-sized Tardis at that. However, the Daily Record managed […]
Nintendo characters as X-Men
Artist unknown – shout up if you know – comes this fantastic four X-Men meets Nintendo panels of art. My favourite, without a doubt, is Colossus Kong. In second place is Cyclops Luigi and Rogue Yoshi. How would you rate the collection?
