Burn! Burn in the Witch-King of Angmar

February 21, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Toasty! This may not be the intended use of the great wraith but I still think it works pretty well. In this case the Witch-King of Angmar is made from an old gas bottle and scrap steel. You can have a go at making a burning Witch-King of Angmar yourself as the creator Doddieszoomer has […]

Look what booksellers Waterstones are hiding

February 21, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

UK based bookshop Waterstones has launched a new website. I think it looks pretty good; clean and straight forward to use. I ran some sample searches to look up Titan Books, Gollancz and Solaris Books. I found matches on paperback and in ebook. The Waterstones developers have been especially geeky. I approve. If you look […]

Short film: Strange Thing

February 19, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s always someone who wants to put their head in the mystery hole. I love that this couple are trekkies (with a Star Wars mug in there for good measure). The question is what you would do if you found a strange door you had never explored before? Strange Thing has a Facebook page for […]

February 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

At the start of the month Geek Native covered the launch of the MajiMonster RPG Kickstarter. I’m now a backer of Late Knight Games’ project as I think there’s a nice new take on a traditional RPG here. [Back this Campaign] Dan Coleman and Jonathan Barron of Late Knight coordinated with me over email. In this […]

Game of Thrones’ dragon eggs cake

February 17, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These dragon eggs shouldn’t hatch into anything nasty. They should be attack by a geek in a hunger frenzy. Made with rice krispie treats, covered in molder’s chocolate and with White Chocolate, Chocolate and Mint they’re sure to be a mouthful! As Game of Thrones season 5 approaches I think it’s only natural we turn […]

February 16, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You can see the original posting here. There’s a twist in the story. Hiroyasu has caught people taking this design and images of it to try and resell as […]

February 16, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Jamie Stone’s Skyborn is set in a foggy post-apocalyptic world. It begins with some great animation and then cuts to a surprisingly emotional film. Gideon is determined that his son will escape the fog but Blue doesn’t have faith in the flying machine they’ve built. So Blue, the son, sets about a dangerous attempt to […]

Women more likely to become super villains

February 16, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At the start of the year Geek Native gave away a bundle of books from Brandon Sanderson’s The Reckoners series. To win Firefight and Steelheart competition players had to say what they would do with super powers. As this is a competition with just over 100 responses this is not science but it is interesting.
