Hungary tested its emergency broadcast system this week by warning of severe and dangerous storms. In order to avoid worrying people by mentioning actual places in Hungary, the emergency system used names from The Lord of the Rings. According to the test catastrophic weather hit Rivendell, Helm’s Deep and Gondor as well as other Middle-earth […]
Disney Princesses as Fighters
Deviant artist Josh MC has another successful adaptation of the ever-popular Disney Princess meme. Josh has successfully portrayed them as a range of fighters in a high-quality art collection. I don’t know about you from about half of these illustrations give me the wrestling vibe and the other half rather more of a Dungeons and […]
Portal 2: Personality Spheres
Finished with Portal 2 yet? You could do yourself a favour and check out Chris Myles’ Flickr account for photographs for some rather awesome Portal 2 Sphere goodies. There’s the Hello Kitty Sphere, for one, but for this teaser I wanted to showcase his collection of personality spheres. These are all handmade which, I think, […]
Cats in Tanks
Aww. Maru has proved just how cute cats in boxes are. If some geek just happens to make a tank out of a pile of boxes then surely cats would be attracted to them… and surely it would be just as cute? Perhaps. A note of caution though – this cute cats in tanks video […]
The Call of Cthulhu is “Pika!” followed by an electric zap?
Some sights cannot be unseen. Some images will remain burned as mental scars for a lifetime. This is one. Behold the twin evils of the electric rat and the unholy Cthulhu! On your knees and despair before the Pikachu Cthulhu!
X-Muppets: X-Men or Muppets?
Mondo credit goes to the deviant artist Rahzzah for this clever digital mash-up. We take two bits of geek culture, two far removed and yet inclusive aspects of geek culture, and show how well they go together. I think the Animal Wolverine, in particular, is a work of genius. What do you think?
Alien versus Space Invaders
A shout out to the deviant artist Letter Q for helping us understand who would beat who – aliens or space invaders. Sorry, did I say who would beat who? I meant to say who would eat who. The aliens would simply chomp their way through those tasty space invaders. Just for the record; you […]
Super Mario proposal
Warning – there are loud squees in this video. I think we can forgive these particular high pitch tones because of the situation. Here’s the scene; the girlfriend is out – so the boyfriend designs a Super Mario room. This room includes a “floating” box. In that box there’s a wedding ring. Oh yes; this […]
Redesigned At-Ats are art
Sometimes juxtaposition is all you need. Seven Hundred’s restyled At-Ats are a perfect example of this. Funky stuff. I suspect we’ll be seeing more of his art on high profile sites in the future! Hopefully on Geek Native too! Not sure what to say about this picture. Scooby-Do meets Star Wars. The Mystery Machine meets […]
Epic Leather: Stormtrooper bike mask
The Etsy store Epic Leather has these striking stormtrooper motorcycle masks for about $200. I think the mask only begins to look stormtrooper-like when its being worn. You’ll see what I mean if you’ve time to compare these two pictures.
