From the land of Geek
The two moves are unlikely to be related but Adconion Media the network darling that bought struggling video on demand site Joost have been busy with changes.
The former Head of Video from Adconion’s Australian operations Matthew Hunt has been promoted to Managing Director. He’ll replace Mike James who left last year.
The video connection is strong [...]
Ok, ok… so this video might have been out for ages but I’ve only just seen it. I’m already jealous of people with artistic skill. I’m jealous of people who can get Excel to do what they want, quickly and without a data loosing crash.
You can imagine how jealous I am of the artistic anime [...]
One of the very first blog posts on Geek Native was a photograph of ex-Spider-man star Kirsten Dunst in cosplay. We new McG was involved.
Now we’ve got the whole video – and when I say “we” I mean you and I. This is a project from McG and Japanese “pop artist” Takashi Murakami. What do [...]
Sideshow have a rather stunning collectible figure of the ever-popular Vanessa. Borrowing from the site’s description of the piece I can say;
Standing approximately 12″ high, this tough female fighter poses in a provocative, removable outfit.

There have been loads of reports, attempts, whispers and moves on the Akira live action front over the year.
Will we ever see it?

Vulture, New York’s Magazine is suggesting [...]
Wow. Take Bleach (which is cool) and blend it with the usually awesome strategy RPG game genre and what do you get? You get Bleach: The 3rd Phantom.
This Nintendo DS game looks like it has everything going for it. It’s the first ever Bleach strategy game.
I actually think Bleach should make a great strategy game; [...]
We’ve got two more posters for the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan The Last Airbender film. I was surprisingly pleased with Book 1: Water of the Nickelodeon animation. It was funny. I didn’t hate The Lady in the Water and its main fault was poking fun at movie critics – guess what happened next.
Are you tempted [...]
I’m not a fan of cross-genre or ‘guest appearance’ beat ‘em ups. They seem to wreck the continuity of the game, messing with the mythos and shamelessly cashing in on fans loyalty to certain names. I’m not even that much of a fan of beat ‘em ups in the first place.

Over at AnimeVoice, Gia Manry has found the opening sequence to the MMORPG version of the Tower of Druaga.
It looks good but comes from the ill-fated Gonzo animation studio which is all but lost to us know. Gia dares to speculate that Gonzo might be getting cash for this effort. Hmm. Let’s be optimistic! [...]
