I like Evangelion. I like Misato, Rei, Asuka and Risuko. Truth be told; I’ve never been that much of a fan of Shinji Ikari because he whines a lot. I feel as I’ve made some allies by the time this, the third movie, rolls around. Few of the survivors really like Shinj either. This is […]

Dice hate me!
[Show me this] How’s this for a throw pillow? The latest addition to the Geek Native shop is available as a t-shirt, mug, notepad and even as a whole bunch of stickers that you can run around with and wildly cover the convention tabletop RPG area with. I rather like the pillow, though. You can […]
Are female Doctor Who fans more in favour of a female Doctor?
There are changes coming to Doctor Who. Steven Moffat has stepped down and Chris Chibnall will be the new showrunner when, in 2017, the series returns.

The freelance illustrator draws nifty, geeky, Valentine’s Day designs for his kids, shares them with and makes them available to buy at the Sidekick Quests store.

This whole trailer seems to be very much on Batman’s point of view – why he’s against Superman – cut with Lex’s mad meddling. That’s not all too surprising given how much of a draw Batman is (he’s already first […]
