Doctor Who watchers keep an eye on the Flickr account of Alun Vega. He is one of the die hards who, with his camera, keeps close watch on local Doctor Who filming. Sometimes the Doctor Who team gets up to something else. Sometimes even the Daleks do. THe Bay of the Daleks sees the mutant […]

Tardis cufflinks
The blog Asciimation has the tagline, “I’d rather live in a world full of eccentric thinkers than one full of unthinking consumers”. That’s an excellent way to catch my interest. Another good way to do that is to provide a step-by-step guide on making your set of Tardis cufflinks. Ta-da! I highly recommend, at the […]
The Tardis corset in action
Mayfaire Moon is a site that makes costumes and corsetry. This week they’ve had some great success when a Tardis corset they made zoomed around the blogs. You may have already seen the picture below. What Mayfaire Moon have wisely done is published some pictures of the corset being modelled by her new owner. We have some […]
The struggles and adventures of Doctor Who pop music
There have been times when UK pop culture has met Doctor Who. It’s not always been all that great. In 1988 The Timelords had a hit called “Doctorin’ The Tardis” that made it to number one. These are the same two people – Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond – who were behind the Justified Ancients […]
Augmented Reality CCG – Drako
I remember Eye of Judgement well. I never played it – but I saw friends beginning to dabble with it. It was a collectable card game that the PS Eye turned into something special. The camera would scan the cards being used in the game and provide some pretty cool animations. The game was closed […]
Game Boy swimsuit
This post had to happen. In one corner we have the Game Boy collection with the Gameboy dresses and the Nintendo bra. In the other corner we have the Black Milk collection of swimsuits that feature Pac-man, C3PO, R2-D2 and Vadar. The result? The Game Boy swimsuit. Okay; it’s just a prototype… I wonder if […]
Underworld: Awakening Trailer – all new, no White Wolf ripoff
Many moons ago, before there was Geek Native and this blogger was running the “prequel site” GameWyrd one of the most popular news stories on it was White Wolf trying to sue Sony over Underworld. Seen the original Underworld? Is it rather like the World of Darkness. White Wolf even had a clan of assassin […]
Dark Crystal RPG in the works
There’s a rumour there will be a sequel to the Dark Crystal. According to the gossip, Omnilab Media and The Jim Henson Company will produce a 3D movie called “Power of the Dark Crystal” with special effects and puppets. It’s been suggested that Michael and Peter Spierig will direct. To be honest, only time will […]
Pokemon capella
Nope, “Capella” isn’t a new type of Pokemon. It’s a singing style that’s been taken over by geek natives on YouTube. In this case we’re talking about Matt Mulholland and if you want to catch them all you also need to check out The Matrix Lobby scene as a capella. I’d say it remains his […]
Whispering GLaDOS water fountain
Okay, that’s silly. The concept of a whispering GLaDOS water fountain being set up and used by the public in New York is just silly. She’s not whispering. It’s just that this is filmed on a digital camera normally used for static pictures. I do the same with mine. We’re lucky there’s an audio at […]
