This looks good. For a start; all the Windows machines in my little flat are on Windows 7 or above so that means Windows 10 upgrades will be free. There are two Xboxes in the same flat. The old Xbox 360 and the older Xbox 360. That’s not so good. I’d need an Xbox One […]
Codename: Morningstar doesn’t Kickstart, will battle on
Codename: Morningstar is not a project that’s been blessed with much luck. Originally they were Wizards of the Coast digital platform partner. The two companies parted way near the end of the project, suddenly and Trapdoor Technologies was left holding the bits. I think Trapdoor did the right thing. They took the project to Kickstarter. […]
Geek-perfect Sting sword replica glows when near wifi
Bilbo Baggins’ magic sword was called Sting and it glowed blue whenever orcs came too close. That’s pretty useful when you’re a Hobbit. Over at Make.com Krista Peryer has the story of a new generation of Sting, a geek perfect sword, a sword called WarSting. WarString glows whenever it detects unsecured wifi networks. By thrusting […]
What would a steampunk Game Boy look like?
Artist Elise Siegwald designed and converted this steampunk Game Boy before putting pictures up on Behance. The French artist used thread, acrylic paint and clock parts for the effective case-modding.
Will Paizo replace Wizards of the Coast as a Codename: Morningstar publisher?
I’m a backer on Trapdoor Technology’s Codename: Morningstar Kickstarter. This is a crowd-funding campaign to pick up a digital toolset that Wizards of the Coast pulled out of. The replacement software works with the Pathfinder Reference Document (PRD) instead. Geek Native was lucky enough to land an interview with Trapdoor’s founding director Chris Matney. In […]
This bracelet is a flamethrower
Adam Wilber stresses that this watch-sized device isn’t a toy. Then again; he also says it’s a badass professional device that allows you to launch fireballs. You can pick up your own PYRO for $174. Maybe you know someone who’s a pain to get Christmas presents for you? There’s no “add to cart” button. There […]
Life without Wizards as Trapdoor take Codename: Morningstar to Kickstarter
This pitch for Codename: Morningstar talks about stories. It’s worth knowing the back story to Trapdoor Technologies before watching the video, I think. It began with Wizards of the Coast appointing Trapdoor to build the D&D 5e digital toolset. We don’t know what happened. There was a change of heart and the two companies stopped […]
Cutting the rope: tomorrow’s elevators will go sideways
If you’ve stood in an elevator then you’ve probably stood in a ThyssenKrupp elevator. The steel company is huge and is a power player in the space. This video explains their new breed of rope-free elevator. Here’s the question; would you ride in a Multi? If there’s no rope would you brain be comfortable knowing […]
Project J-Deite: The real life Transformer
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started to watch this Transformer video unfold. An animation? A model? I should have paid more attention. It’s clear that this is scale replica of a real life Transformer. By “real life” we mean a robot capable of transforming, actions and travel. It’s surprisingly agile. Unlike cartoon […]
Two thousand dollars for scariest Halloween prop ever
Uh-oh. Normally I get frustrated when a video is shot in vertical rather than horizontal. This time I’m glad as it helped cushion the blow. If you want your Halloween to be filled with screams this year then you can buy this “Chair Screamer”. You just need to pop over to Posion Props and splash […]
