Brightarcs is a UK based company that builds Tesla coils – no ordinary Telsa coils but musical ones. If you fancy you can hire them to create products that use high voltages and plasma. Sounds like good old fashioned dangerous fun. Geek comedian Tom Scott (who Geek Native has interviewed) took his camera crew to […]
Limited Edition Labyrinth Worm Plushie
For a brief few minutes ThinkGeek.com had some limited edition Labyrinth Worm plushies to sell. I imagine they sold out in record time. Currently, the website says there is none in stock but you can add to your wishlist. As ThinkGeek remind us, The Worm (known only as the Worm), is the first creature Sarah […]
Old style gamer helmet
I don’t have a credit for this photo. It came to light via an image surfing Russian website that’s lack on citation! I really can’t decide whether that’s a reflection of a tapestry, a computer game or not a reflection at all. What do you think? I know there’s someone out there who can name […]
Cutest Star Wars ever?
Inspired by the old Disney insignias created in World War II, artist Dave Mott has created some Star Wars insignias in a similar style. I think they maybe some of the cutest Star Wars art I’ve ever seen. Who wouldn’t want one of those Tauntauns? Or who would dare go up against Ackbar?
Big gun
There’s not much to say about this picture. Should we do a caption competition? Leave your quotes in the comment section below. “You’re going to need more than a d20 for damage!” “No, you can’t roll to conceal” “Oh? You’ve got the weapon speciality. Do you?”
Freaky Chinese Star Wars babies pimp Adidas
Okay, the word “Freaky” springs to mind. I’m not sure I even noticed the Adidas logo for a while. It’s there, though, and these Chinese baby posters are to promote the Star Wars X Adidas Originals series. The artist who created these, er, posters, is Dorophy Tang and she certainly has a knack for creating […]
CAT-CAT: Unstoppable death machine
One day artist Mike Mitchell decided that we would have made the Empire unstoppable. He started by re-designing the infamous AT-AT Walkers. What they needed was an even better defence system. Mitchell came up with this – the CAT CAT. Behold! As Mike asks himself, “What person would want to take this adorable vehicle of […]
Robot or advertising wanker?
Here’s a little test you can do. Watch this video and try to decide whether you’re watching either a robot or a wannabe hipster and advertising wanker? The disclaimer here is that I work in digital marketing so I’m allowed to tease advertising folk. I’m allowed to tease robots as well. so there. What did […]
Barista Rorschach whispers, “Okay”
We have a challenge to the title King of the Barista. Back in 2009 we had Barista Ackbar warned “It’s a frap!”. The challenger has a warning of his own. Barista Rorshach reminds us that; “You will cry out for a soy chai latte with one shot of expresso… and I will whisper back: okay”
Excel Mario
At the start of the day we had the clever geeky joke and art of Excel Batman. While I’m not going to say that the Batman art wasn’t sophisticated (it’s certainly far better than I could do) I am going to suggest that other talented people could do better. For example, Mario fans might be […]
