The god that is Ian McKellen finds himself reanacting the famous “You Shall not pass!” scene from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring during the Q&A session at the Savannah Film Festival. He had to do it without knowing what the Balrog would look like. Pretty cool huh? I wonder how many hit […]
Gamer Art: Fairy House
Saw this picture and thought straight away of high school RPGs which seemed to feature a lot of exploring though the woods, meeting fairies and other mythological encounters. Nevertheless, pick a gaming group today and let them discover a toadstool house and see how they react. Do they sneak past? Do they try and say […]
Steampunk gas masks
These leather works of art are by Tom Banwell. They’re fantastic. They’re slightly spooky – in an “are you my mummy?” sort of way. They’re also fantastic inspiration for a whole host of steampunk RPG ideas. Do check out his site.
Lego – right when it’s wrong
This is a rather cool colletion of ads for Lego. They’ve been produced for Lego Russia but their local advertising agency Leo Burnett. Geek Native has written about Leo Burnett before. You see; there’s a Pokemon clip in which Leo Burnett is exposed as the devil. When James is played backwards the claim is made. […]
Steampunk Optimus Prime
The creative guru behind this design is Encline Designs. I highly recommend popping over to Flickr and checking out the full collection. The following pictures are just a sample but they’re more than enough to showcase the awesome.
Things That Are Wrong: Boomer Plushie
Brace yourself. From the files of “Things That Are Wrong” and from designer Alexandria Neonakis comes the Left 4 Dead Boomer Plushie. This plushie will belch at you (hence the need for batteries). You activate one of the 10 in-game Boomer sounds by squeezing it. Why would anyone ever squeeze a boomer? We’re predicting more […]
Ghostbusting guinea pigs
There is a blog called Guinea Pig Theatre and in it Mr Kyle Starks draws guinea pigs (sometimes) recreating movie scenes (often). It’s been going for years. If we wind back time to July in the year 2008 we find one of my favourites – ghostbusting guinea pigs. You know the scene. They’ve fought their […]
Sharkgull does not want to be your friend
Here’s an interesting monster concept – and a fantastic piece of photo manipulation. This comes to Geek Native via Rowan Henry Hamilton who wonders what it would be like to have this beastie steal your chips at the beach. If it happened to me; I’d let him win. Have the chips.
Beethoven Vader
Richard Grayson is cool. He’s a pianist who gets tossed a curve ball while asking the Crossroads School for tunes to play. That’s right. Someone suggests he plays Darth Vader’s theme for Star Wars. Not only does Grayson step up to mark he produces a Vader theme deep with feeling. Gosh, well, it’s so emmo […]
Amazing lego anime models
It’s simply amazing what people can build out of Lego. Combine the really healthy online Lego community with the huge anime fan culture and it should come as no surprise that there’s some fantastic cross-over. This quick blog post simply showcases a half dozen lego anime creations. One rule; no Gundams here. There’s no suggestion […]
