Geeky deal: The Bundle of Holding

March 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Now and then Geek Native will cover a geeky bundle deal when it’s a good one. Step forward The Bundle of Holding. This deal, I assume, takes its name from the legendary Bag of Holding and in this case contains ebooks written by authors in, or close to, the roleplaying world. Who and what? There’s […]

Is this what a “Spoonhead” from Doctor Who looks like?

March 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Last night the BBC released a new poster for Doctor Who s7.2. We also discovered the episode, written by Steven Moffat, will be called The Bells of St John and would feature a new monster with the unlikely name the Spoonheads. Spoonheads? Really? Well… perhaps. If you look closely at the poster and study all […]

Superheroes in noir posters

March 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Noir isn’t always to everyone’s tastes. It can be bleak although that can be part of the attraction. These posters from Marko Manev certainly don’t seem bleak. They’re carefully understated, they hint at huge scenes and power yet to be unleashed. These may be some of the most familar superheroes known to the web but […]

Homes of the Future [infographic]

March 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is one mighty tall infographic but I think it’s worth posting for the art alone. The concept? “Homes of the Future”… but it’s really just a chance to show a timeline of cityscapes. Via Gateway Homes.

Fancy winning the Complete Series 1-5 Box Set blu-ray collection of Battlestar Galactica? That’s 20 spinny discs. How do you win? Well, as usual, this price comes from a sponsor in the UK so you need to have a postal address in the UK. You need to be 18+ too. The next step is to […]

New Doctor Who monster “The Spoonheads” introduced in “The Bells of St John”

March 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

The BBC have released the first teaser picture to The Bells of St John. When Doctor Who returns on the 30th March, The Bells of St John will be the episode that re-re-introduces Jenna-Louise Coleman as the “new” companion Clara Oswald. It’s written by Steven Moffat. It’s easy to see why the picture is grabbing […]
