Okay folks! You’ll have seen the news that Sony has finally announced they’ll be doing Android tablets. Both devices are PlayStation certified, use mobile and wifi, run Android 3.0 and can even be used as a remote. The S2, in particular, has my eye. It looks more travel friendly. It can also be used as […]
Interactive Plush Portal Turret
The turrets in Portal are cute. This is known. Hurray to Leigh Nunan (plushie designer) and Jonathan Guberman (electronics dude) for the interactive plushie Portal turret. I think this might send the wrong message. In this video the turret gets knocked over a few times. Who would do that to the poor turrets? You’re supposed […]
Howl’s Moving Paper Castle
Could you build Howl’s Moving Castle out of paper? Would you? It’s quite a papercraft project. It’s been done! Check out this imgur gallery for the full collection. There’s a sample below. This is a good year to be remembering Howl’s Moving Castle. Some Geek Native readers may know it only as Hayao Miyazaki‘s anime. […]
Borderlands awesome marriage proposal
I really enjoyed Borderlands. I think Gearbox derserves a second pat on the back for the work they put into this marriage propsal video too. Way cool fan service! I wouldn’t have predicted Claptrap would have behaved like this, though! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fii-KPEmcMw If you’re wondering what a fly on the wall would have seen as the […]
Ridiculous Adipose strangulation warning
I was given a stretchy anti-stress Adipose toy for Easter. Well – Easter eggs are so passé! What’s an anti-stress Adipose? It’s an Adipose (introduced in “Partners in Crime, Tenth Doctor, series 4) that can be squished and streched. I’ve named mine Wellington. Wellington comes with some 100% stupid safety instructions. Before we get to […]
Zombie cupcakes? The last cupcake t-shirt
We’ve had the Twenty O’clock and the Cuteness overflow t-shirts from Spiritgreen already. The “Last Cupcake” came second in Woot’s latest derby, with 828 votes and nearly as many zombies. Zombies and one plucky cupcake. You can buy it here.
Lego Starcraft 2 Siege Tank
The siege tanks in Starcraft 2 are pretty cool. I can see why some clever clogs might well decide to build one out of Lego. Here’s the thing; there’s a big difference between building a siege tank in Lego and building a remote controlled, 4 motor, 2 linear actuator and highly complex siege tank in […]
Samsung supports unboxing movement with extreme unboxing
You’ll know all about unboxing. It’s when people film the act of taking their latest shiny thing out of the box. Here’s a simple example with the unboxing of Steve Jackson Games’ Zombie Dice. In recent months there’s been a bit of a backlash against unboxing. People suggest it is naff. People hint that unboxing […]
In Russia dolls unpack your mind
It was the Cthulhu version of these Russian nesting dolls that caught my attention however the whole collection is impressive. These are from a gallery at the Rothick Art Haus. There isn’t a single artist responsible for these – sense the ranging styles – but over 50 who were invited to do their own version […]
The gun that time forgot: Jarre Double Action Harmonica Pistol
Found this picture of this historic pistol design. The intent is clear – a gun that lets you fire bullets quickly with minimal reloading bother. The flaw in the design should be equally as clear – the weight/balance would make aiming with this pistol really tricky. This is the Jarre Double Action Harmonica Pistol and […]
