The Radio Times has showcased the new look Tardis. It’s easy to explain the new look; at the end of Series 4 we saw the Tardis crashing down towards the Earth. We might expect a bumpy landing and the need for some redecoration! It’s a familiar feel; yet different. It’s almost the middle ground between […]

The Tom Scott interview and a Lady Gaga race with LG inTouch Max Android phones
What a long blog title! This post has come about because I was pointed in the direction of a video staring geek comedian Tom Scott, some LG inTouch Max Android phones and a Top Gear style race in order to win some Lady Gaga tickets (with the tickets going to the winner, btw). The video […]
Dancing Ewoks: Galactic Empire State of Mind
CollegeHumor knows that if you put Star Wars together with a pop song that they’ll have a hit. I have to say they do especially well to have the dancing ewoks and Wookie though. I’m also impressed that they’ve published the lyrics! I imagine the goal is to encourage cover versions. Where do you rate […]
New Godzilla movie to escape Monster Island
I’ve mixed feelings about the first attempt to make a Hollywood version of the Toho classic. It was good because it was a Godzilla movie. It was bad because it didn’t really feel like a Godzilla movie. However; it made hundreds of millions – so it didn’t burn the chances of there being another. Now, […]
F.A.T.A.L. (From Another Time, Another Land) Download
This post is here because I can see from Geek Native’s traffic logs that people want it. One of the user-submitted reviews to GameWyrd, the site that came before Geek Native, was of an infamous roleplaying game titled “From Another Time, Another Land” aka F.A.T.A.L. To this day the site gets traffic from people searching […]
Gaiking trailer and classic clip
I was born in 1976. Gaiking‘s original run was in 1976. This is an old anime mecha franchise that’s about to get a new lease of life via visual effects designer Matthew Gratzner. Gratzner has worked on films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man but is now making the hop to director in order […]
Gaming scenery – Capital City – so clever it confuses
This is so clever I’m not even sure how it works. I think this PDF results in printed cut outs – perhaps stuck onto card? I do get the end goal, though. You wind up with a 3D set of gaming scenery. You can have no grid, 1×1 or hex grids; in other words this […]
Oh No Doom! – A Healthy Dosage of Restlessness
This post contains some snippets of a much larger collection of awesome artwork via Oh No Doom! and “A Healthy Dosage of Restlessness”. There are a few years I’m posting this; I’m not sure if Oh No Doom will archive these works and I’d like to show case just a few. I’d encourage you to […]
MTV with Nightmare’s Freddy interruption/haunting ads
MTV are promoting the forthcoming Nightmare on Elm Street. These aren’t standard ads though – they’re interruptions which are being allowed to hijack MTV’s own promo features. It’s a shame they’re not allowed to interrupt all those life style and reality TV features that destroyed the once great channel (or was that simply me getting […]
Gamer door for the games room
My ideal house would have a games room or two. The challenge, I thought, was to design a room that had a strong atmosphere that suited all sorts of games – everything from traditional tabletop games to sci-fi or fantasy on the console. I hadn’t even thought about the door. It turns out that was […]
