April 8, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Designed by Teo Zirnis these monsters are part of a set. Good news if you like Zirnis’ softly spoken style as the talented artist has a Redbubble store.

Review of the Gadget Show Live 2015

April 8, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Attending the Gadget Show Live has become a bit of a traditional trip down south for Geek Native. We’ve been going since 2011. This year the expo managed to recapture some of the energy that had been missing from the more recent incarnations. It’s worth understanding what you’re going to. The Gadget Show is a […]

Sword and planet: A review of Kane of Old Mars

April 8, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve seen John Carter of Mars but not read any of the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. I had the famous title in mind as I started to read the most recent re-release by Gollancz of Michael Moorcock’s “Kane of Old Mars”. Wikipedia tells me that the trilogy was first published back in 1965. The original […]

TARS cosplay is Interstellar

April 7, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I think TARS may well have been my favourite bit in Interstellar. I’m not saying that to knock the film, I rather liked it… but TARS was a scene stealer! This cosplay took some 3 months to build and was shown at Seattle’s Emerald City Comic Con this year. It won the “One to Watch” […]

Google’s Ingress April Fools joke – Pac-man take over

March 31, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 9 Comments

Google’s put their April Fools joke live for their mobile alternative reality game live. Ingress players have their cursor turned into Pac-man and portals are now ghosts. This shouldn’t muck up gameplay too much but it’s certainly going to confuse players who forget what day it is. In Ingress there are two sides who complete […]

Boeing gets patent on force fields

March 30, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The multinational manufacturer of airplanes, rockets and satellites has picked up an American patent on military force fields. This computer-voice / animation combo explains how the technology works. It doesn’t feel quite like “force fields from Star Wars” to me but, yeah, I get the reference. It’s also worth noting that the technology does seem […]

Jurassic World trailer: D-Rex is killing for sport

March 30, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t mind saying that I’m gone from being “meh” about this film to looking forward to it. Perhaps there’s life in the franchise yet – or perhaps I still think Guardians of the Galaxy whenever see Chris Pratt? Where are you on the movie anticipation scale when it comes to Jurassic World? Down in […]

The 5 best ways to fail on Kickstarter

March 30, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Gregory Carslaw was born to a gaming couple and rolled his first die before speaking a word. He has a PhD in Psychology, studied Artificial Intelligence and joined 3DTotal games in 2013. His first game took six months to design … only for it to be shelved. It was going to be too expensive to […]

6 gifs only Ingress players will understand

March 29, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you succumbed to the lure of Google’s location-based alternative reality game Ingress? There are two factions in a struggle against one another: The Enlightened (green), who believe the newly discovered “exotic matter” should be free and that the world can be a better place and The Resistance (blue), who oppose those ideals and are […]
