A now deleted Redditor shared an image of an old friend at the tail end of last year. They wrote; “So I installed Facebook timeline, went back to 2008 and was reminded of an old chat friend from Amsterdam. Apparently the years have treated her well…” It’s proving to be popular cosplay – although with […]

Staff protest at GAME Monaghan
There are reports of problems at some GAME stores where staff are annoyed at how they’ve been treated. It’s an understandable situation. GAME’s business leaders couldn’t comment on speculation – and still can’t. Nevertheless, blogs like Geek Native have been publicly worried about GAME for weeks now. Even as this is typed there are (probably) […]
Yoda bathrobe
I’m not sure if this is the most sexy of all bedtime fashion but it is certainly a memorable one. The Yoda bathrobe will set you back $60, comes in light green and is 100% cotton. There’s no suggestion it’ll assist with your mastery of the Force or help you become a Jedi. It might, […]
Zombie Mount Rushmore
I live in a very small flat. There’s no space. I’m always in search of something I can stick to the naked wall and make more space. Zombies. That’s a start. Zombies and American history combine to suggest a possible solution for me. With this Zombie Mount Rushmore I’ve a handy and undead place to […]
Carving a skull from old computer manuals
Artist Maskull Lasserre has updated their portfolio with a new project. It’s a rather cool, somewhat sinister, and appropriately geeky use for a bunch of outdated computer manuals. Step one: Squish the manuals together in a vice. Step two: Carve a spectacularly realistic skull Step three: Watch as blogs like Geek Native drool over your […]
The art of Wei Wang
Wei Wang has been a senior artist at Blizzard Entertainment for more than six year. He’s worked on projects like World of Warcraft, posters for Blizzacon and more recently the Diablo III box cover. Over at Behance, the artist community, Wei Wang has shared a sample of art (still under copyright of Blizzard) for wider […]
Amazing tents for LARPers
The UK geeky gadget site Firebox added this “Fully Booked” tent to their site. Is this an ideal tent for field based LARPers? As it happens, the company supplying these tents – FieldCandy – have a host more. Each one is a limited edition and powerful design. I’m especially fond of the battered suitcase style […]
Yum. 8-bit beer!
What’s not to like? 8-bit hommage and a pale ale from Tallgrass Beer. The company uses a “Hop Rocket” to infuse the character of Australian Galaxy Hops into an American Pale Ale. Ther’s even a video for it – using paper stick puppets to create a classic 8-bit game. Stick with it because there’s a […]
How to build your own vortex cannon
It turns out that building your own vortex cannon isn’t very hard at all. In a cracking video, a pair of students demonstrate just how easy it is to build a the cannon – but also illustrate it’s not the most powerful cannon in the world. I like the video because it feels real. It’s […]
Cute Star Wars AT-AT bag
Entertainment Earth, a favourite shop for geek cred, is accepting pre-orders for a rather cute AT-AT. The bag, described as a “back buddy”, is 19 inches call, 6 inches wide and has two pouches. It’s expected to be available in July. I’m not sure it’s as geeky as the Yoda beanie hat, though!
