I’m not normally a fan of offline marketing. I’m a digital dude through and through. That said, I’ll give respect where respect is due. Mattel is due some respect for their “Reconnect with your Inner Child” campaign. In particular, they’re due some respect for turning the floor to lava. Don’t you just hate it when […]
Excel Batman
I suspect many people will go; “Cool! Batman drawn in Excel”. Some geeks will notice the “Na na na na” ode to 60s Batman TV shows going on in the background. Only those of us who work in Excel will really absorb this joke though. Does this mean, after I trigger my 100th “not available” […]
Cthulthu in a cup
Behold the cosmic terror! Wail as your willpower melts to nothing and your brain disolves into a sticky white foam. Watch as your sanity dribbles out of your ear, is mistaken for brown sugar and added into lattes all around the coffee shop and prepare yourself for Cthulhu in a cup! Are you prepared! Can […]
Self-loading LEGO dice tower defeats RPG cheats
This is so cool. This Christmas I was given a plastic tower for dice rolling – not because I’m a cheat, but because one of my gamer groups think my dice rolling is bad luck and provided the tower as an alternative. Gamers and superstition, huh? In this case I suspect the tower was built […]

Today’s trip to Etsy and too cute to ignore geeky amigurumi spins by t0fugurl’s store. It was the great collection of Pacman and Ghosts that first brought this store to my attention but I’m now rather fond of Bobomb. What’s your favourite?

The Force parody
You’ll recall Vokswagen’s The Force ad for the Super Bowl that went mega viral. Now we have a parody – and it’s a great one. All hail Marin Plourde aka Violent Broccoli for this re-take. Imagine if Mini Vader had actual powers. What if it wasn’t a Passat? Superb! It’s worth checking out Violent Broccoli’s […]
Animated amigurumi cuteness
Geek Native has covered plenty of amigurumi before – even U900 the cutely animated amigurumi band. Well; it’s time for more amigurumi cuteness and this time we need it in caterpillar form. What? Don’t think this the height of amigurumi cuteness? Waaah!
Naruto causes OCD? Photographic evidence
Once again the mighty Reddit must be thanked. This photograph comes from Uniqlo who I’ve seen described as “Japan’s Gap” but that’s mean because Uniqlo does cool things and Gap’s Gap. I wonder just how badly the employee suffered from OCD to arrange this t-shirt pile in the first place and also maintain it as […]
Painting for Zelda’s 25th birthday is 25 types of impressive
Yeah, that’s right, it’s been 25 years of Zelda goodness. Did Geek Native blog about it? Nope! Too busy. Probably playing Fallout: New Vegas. Is there a chance in heck this blog will fail to blog about this Zelda painting? No chance! Check it out. But, no, wait. That’s just the summary. This is the […]
