This sounds like the start of a roleplaying scenario. The nearly complete remains of a Tyannosaurus bataar (closely related to Tyannosaurus rex) has been sold for over $1m. The sale, though, was despite a judge in Dallas ordering the auction hose not to sell the skeleton. The 80 million year old creature is believed to […]
Bookends for geeks and gamers
Etsy retailer Knob Creek Metal Arts may have a strange name but their collection of metal bookends are a visual treat. The great thing about clever bookends is that they turn the awkward collection of books on the shelf into a talking point. Geeky bookends transform a pile of books from clutter to art.
The World of Dinosaurs turned to music
The processor that can alter pitch in vocals, known as Auto-Tune, was originally designed to disguise off-key inaccuracies in recorded performances. I imagine they use something similar to produce this sort of musical mashup. Featured in the World of Dinosaurs, part of Symphony of Science, are the shows Dinosaurs Alive, the BBC’s “How to Build […]
Cute Critical Hit Dinosaurs D&D adventurer t-shirt
This is a best selling tee on shirt.woot! right now. Woot! marks the design as “Soon to conclude” which, I think, means it may not be for sale for very much longer. It was designed by Spiritgreen who has been featured on Geek Native before. Via Fashionably Geek.
Is this spider monster too scary for any LARP?
This blogger asked the question Are Air Swimmers any good LARPs?. The answer seems to be no. They’re too fragile. Oh, I suppose a clever team of GMs could have a shark swim through the air as a very clever effect. This video is attempt 2. TD Artwork has just finished creating a very large […]
The history of the world as a stop motion music video
This is a music video. You can grab the album for free at Kalle Mattson.com. I like the single. It’s chirpy. It’s fun. It’s good for a Friday. It’s the video that catches my attention, though, as a clever bit of stop motion. Stop motion with dinosaurs and dragons. As this is a history of […]
The Triceratops mask of copper doom
For a mere $4,500 or so (actually, more than that) you can have your very own dinosaur mask that’s suitable for neither LARP nor airport security sensors. You will, however, be unique. Once again we have etsy to thank for this fashionable piece of beaten up copper.
Batman Dinosaur
How’s this for a mashup? Batman plus dinosaur. Dinosaur plus Batman. This phot was taken in Pittsburgh USA along with the suggestion that it’s part of the city celebrating the filing of Batman Rises there. Let’s hope it’s not a fake like the Catwoman photos that whisked around the internet a few days ago. Photo […]
When gamer geeks hack road signs
The following is a collection of hacked electric road signs; normally they’re used to point out that ‘hard to spot’ 10-mile queue on the bypass, but as it turns out, talented geeks can put the equipment to alternative use.
DIY wooden dinosaurs with remote controls!
Remember those wooden dinosaurs you would build yourself fom plywood? You’d end up with skeletal structures but that was okay because you had been building skeleton dinosaurs all along! Could those wooden skeleton dinosaurs be any better? Imagine if they had motors and could be remote controlled. That’s right; you could have your home built […]
