The cosplay highlights of 2012

December 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

One of the most popular posts on Geek Native in 2012 was Omaru’s cosplay highlights of 2011. The thumbnail drew clicks and then the strong filming and soundtrack kept people happy as the cosplay highlights washed over us. It’s no surprise that the photographer is back with a summary of 2012.

Picture this… Skull Iron Man

December 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This skull Iron Man is a render by Songqijin. The title is “Biochemical Iron Man” which seems fitting. Hard to tell whether we’re looking an Avenger or a Dark Avenger in this picture.

Necronomicon fragment LARP scrolls

December 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Litany of Dagon scroll Geek Native shared in August had its fans so I took notice when I came across Zarono on Etsy selling a range of Cthulhu and Necronomicon scrolls. The experience feels in keeping with the H.P. Lovecraft experience; I was browsing through Etsy’s wonders when I noticed the strange designs on […]

This is a best of festive silliness for you. The cosplay group We Are Super Zeros don their Mortal Kombat costumes for a timely encounter with Santa Claus. Who will win the showdown?

Punisher movie: Do Not Fall in New York City

December 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is based on the story written by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon and is illustrated by Luis Pelayo Junquera. It’s clearly the work of a Punisher fan. The video is 7 minutes long and entirely not for profit. It was made using Photoshop Premiere, After Effects, Flash CS4, Wecom Intuos 4 and Autodesk […]

Out of this world constellation cookies

Impressive constellation cookies. Over at Bake at 350 you can learn how to brew up your own batch. You’ll need toothpicks, a small paintbrush and meringue powder before you begin.

Who brought back Strax? [spoilers, speculation]

December 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Strax was the Sontaran maid/commander who died at the Battle of Demon’s Run. In A Good Man Goes to War he tells Rory that he had lived a good life, nearly 12 years, had always wanted to die in battle but was finding it less enjoyable as he had hoped. It is the same Strax […]

Free movie: Decay

December 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Zombies and the Large Hadron Collider. Decay is about 75 minutes long, entirely free to watch on YouTube (or you can download it) and was made by PhD students at CERN. Why is Geek Native posting free zombie movies on Christmas? Let’s face it; sometimes TV lets you down, you lose access to the PC […]

It’s smaller on the outside

December 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

As Clara Oswin said; “It’s smaller on the outside!” What do you think? Bigger on the inside or smaller on the out? Either way; the first wave of new Doctor Who fan loyalty merch is already available. The t-shirt above is on sale at Forbidden Planet.

Who is Clara Oswald the Souffle Girl? [spoilers, speculation]

December 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 85 Comments

In Asylum of the Daleks we got to meet Oswin Oswald. Oswin passed the time by baking souffles but it did not end well for her. Now, in the 2012 Christmas Special, The Snowmen we get to meet Clara Oswin. They look the same. They both like souffles; although why Clara Oswin decided to share […]
