You’ll be familiar wth the All Terrain Scout Transport from Star Wars. These cute little brothers of the famous At-At Walkers are famous for being squashed, tripped and taken over by cheeky Ewoks. Here’s a steampunk version. There’s a catch. This isn’t just a steampunk version of the AT-ST. This is also a lamp. Now […]

Rapture of the Nerds review: clever but weird
I came to Rapture of the Nerds not having read any Cory Doctorow outside his excellent articles on protecting the freedom of the internet and having read plenty of Charles Stross’ books but favouring the battle against ancient godlike beings beyond time and space from the Laundry Files. Rapture of the Nerds is a transhuman […]
MWP part ways with Marvel; offer 150% refund and pull books
Margaret Weis Productions have posted a pipline post discussing future projects. Tucked in the end of the post is the news that the company will stop producing Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Basic Game. The reason? Success was not good enough. Christi Cardenas explains, in the post, that; Our first event, CIVIL WAR, was successful and well […]
Exploring Techno-optimism, not watching Doctor Who and the Rapture of the Nerds with Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross
Two big name authors in one interview? Geek Native landed a big one… perhaps. We’ll just have to make sure we can loop in good RPG chat, the sci-fi agenda as well as reflect on the pair’s Rapture of the Nerds. Cory Doctorow, a digital thought leader, is well known enough to feature on XKCD […]
Tancred: The Warhammer 40K Terminator Captain
Tancred was created by Roses and Boltshells and is a very impressive Warhammer 40K Terminator Captain cosplay. The Danish team filmed the very first test walk of the suit. I think the result is very impressive; 2 months of build and about $2,000 in materials. Roses and Boltshells weren’t happy about the way the belly […]
Wizards without Coats: Eggs
Happy Easter? < PreviousWizards without Coats Next > Magic talismans my arse, what a waste of a fireball, these are just eggs! Perhaps there’s a reason why so few fantasy game worlds have a festival/holiday that involves a bunny hiding eggs for people to find. Think of the mixed messages that would send!
The Spider Queen
Geek Native has featured deviant artist Escaron’s work before. This Skulltula spider is hard to forget. This Spider Queen was made for a Swedish games exhibition and is about 36 wide. This isn’t a tiny spider.
The Evil Within: Skyrim’s makers turn to horror
Did you enjoy Skyrim? Was it an immersive world? Imagine then, if you will, that Bethesda wanted to make a horror game. On top of it all, they’ve partnered with Shinji Mikami for this. Yup; the brains behind the original Resident Evil. There’s a Facebook page in place for brave fans.
Ratchet & Clank movie trailer announcement
There’s still the fashion to do comic book and computer game movies. Sure. That said, I’ll admit to being a little surprised that the promise of a Ratchet & Clank movie seems to be coming true. Right now we’re on the trailer true stage for the movie and with a release date of 2015. It’s […]
