This is my boom stick! Oh. No. Wait. This is my chainsaw cake. Silly me. Isn’t this impressive? A bloody chainsaw and hand as a birthday cake! I can only imagine the fun the baker had. How much red dye went into this creation? Via Obvious Winner.

Zombie Stormtroopers: Death Troopers concept art
Star Wars: Death Troopers is a 2009 novel by Joe Schreiber. The plot follows the drama when Purge – an Imperial prison barge – breaks down in a remote part of space. It holds 500 dangerous killers, rebels and thiefs and hope may be in the form of the apparently abandoned Star Destroyer they find […]
The Aeon Project: Beyond AR
The Aeon Project came in first in the Imagina Awards for Best Design and Communication. It’s about going beyond AR as we practise it today – and we certainly use Augmented Reality today in numerous phone apps and with Microsoft’s Kinect. The following is a relatively short YouTube that highlights and sells the concepts. If […]
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine classes
This ad for THQ’s forthcoming Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine multiplayer puts the focus on the customisation of the characters along with the class system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dFZNDiL0Y There are 6 classes present in ad; the Tactical Marine, Chaos Marine, Devastator, Havoc, Assult Marine and Raptor. The ad suggests there are nearly 2 billion different customisation options which […]
Chompy piranha plant earrings
My gut feeling here is that these rather painful looking earrings will sell well. Let’s face it; they certainly earn plenty of geek points. The piranha plant is famous but it’s pretty hard to do anything with it visually. Step forward Lizglizz and her Etsy shop who proves to be the exception to the rule. […]
Duck Tales + Doctor Who = Doctales
Take a cartoon from easier years – Duck Tales. Take a sci-fi series that’s still with us, manages to be British and yet international at the same time – Doctor Who. Mix the two together, folding rather than stirring and season with some artistic talent. What do you get? You get Doctales! You get River […]
A good, long, hard look at the Diablo III gameplay
The PR people are calling this 7 minute plus video of Diablo III the “Beta roll”. Who am I to second guess them? ALthough, peeps, it would have been good to get the file to little fan blogs like Geek Native within 48 hours of sharing it with some of the bigger players. What this […]
Angry Birds bra
There are sexy bras. There are practical bras. I’m not entirely sure if this Angry Birds bra counts as either of those two. It’s a geeky bra but I wonder wonder when you’ll get the chance to show it off? During strip Magic: The Gathering? That would certainly earn you some geek cool points. This […]
Berserk: Golden Age 1 – Egg of the Supreme King trailer
I watched my Berserk back during YouTube’s lawless age. I think I got to the end but that they simply stopped the animation. As I recall, after much angst, drama and carefully paced tension – it all went pear shaped, with monsters, tentacles, character deaths and all sorts. It was a sudden turn but it […]
Portal t-shirt: Protected by Turret
There’s a lot to be said for wearing Portal clothes. It’ll help other geeks step forward out of the crowd and say hello. Well, actually, they’ll probably point at your chest and say; “Hey! Cool”. That’s why a t-shirt that also protects your chest is a good idea. Combine the two and you’ve a Turret […]
