Matt Martin over at VG247 has a good write up and video of what the leaked screens for the next Destiny upgrade might mean. In summary it looks like the House of Wolves will bring a new social area to Destiny. As roleplayers, Geek Native knows what this means – we’ll have two “headquarters” for […]

Anime wizards: An interview with Animatsu
At the start of the year Geek Native reported on the rise of Animatsu and a launch with 11 titles. Former Manga UK managers Jerome Mazandarani and Andrew Hewson have taken their expertise and created a company that’s not just an anime distributor but touches on production and IP. Sound interesting? Geek Native reached out […]
Enjoy the happy madness of Katsucon 2015 with this video recap
Team Beat Down Boogie went to Katsucon and, as is their way, have produced a highlight video of some of the best and most interesting cosplay. This cut is about 10 minutes long and called “Pretty Strange”. I think there are some great costumes in here. Fancy a look at the pictures? There’s a collection […]
It’s a trap! Trap
How’s this for a brand of mouse traps? Ackbar! It’s a trap! “Mon Calamari” is the name of the amphibian species Gial Ackbar belongs too. In truth the trap was probably made on the planet Dac. Well, that’s unless all that Star Wars mythology is also wiped away by the new Disney bosses.
Short film: Running the Gammatar
This is weird. I’d describe it as a Japanese kaiju film meets some sort of American slice of life TV show. Yeah; really. Made on a limited budget, Running the Gammatar keeps the visuals looking stylishly rubbish and in line with the weirdness. Can you imagine life in a city that’s pretty much under constant […]

The 528-paged book is a feast for fans and is the follow up from the critically acclaimed Wastelands collection. The compilation, from Titan Books, […]
Short film: 1900-2000
A short animation in French. A couple have to persuade a theatre owner to let them run their “time travel” show in which they preview what the world in the Year 2000 will be like. The wife is worried it’ll be a disaster. The husband is sure his steam-powered stakes and automatic farm machine will […]
In a RPG you can do anything…
A piece titled “In Dungeons & Dragons you can do anything” by Rumbleraven. I think it works as well for any given RPG. There’s more than one truth in this straightforward but effective comic strip. It’s true that lots of guys character up as warriors they would like to be. It’s also true that the […]
9 war machines and wonders by Nick Carver
Nick Carver is a character and concept artist. He now works as a senior artist at Blizzard Entertainment and is a graduate from the University of Sheffield in England. Carver specialises in the use of Zbrush for digital sculpting which looks like a great tool for character design, texturing and the challenges of concept art. […]
Burn! Burn in the Witch-King of Angmar
Toasty! This may not be the intended use of the great wraith but I still think it works pretty well. In this case the Witch-King of Angmar is made from an old gas bottle and scrap steel. You can have a go at making a burning Witch-King of Angmar yourself as the creator Doddieszoomer has […]
