[Back this Campaign] Some of my roleplaying game sessions make heavy use of music. I like to use it when I GM. It’s a challenge to find it though – first I look for movie or game scores as any singing tends to disrupt the game. The advantage computer game scores have over movie scores […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.
Pogo’s Roarcraft – a World of Warcraft remix
The musical wizard Pogo has been featured before on Geek Native; one Skynet song, Murmurs of Middle Earth and the slightly less geeky but perhaps my favourite the Up remix Upular. The great thing about Roarcraft is that it’s Pogo at his Upular best while picking a subject, World of Warcraft, that’s as a geeky […]
The Axis of Awesome channel nerd anger with “Rage of Thrones”
Not Safe for Work lyrics. Unless your work is cool. The Axis of Awesome channel righteous nerd rage with this Game of Thrones “tribute” song. I think tribute is the right word. I’ve seen this played life and, I must say, it’s a lot less angry. They must have to practise that or perhaps the […]
Mutant Chronicles RPG makes a return
Already busy with a super successful Kickstarter project for Achtung! Cthulhu, British based Modiphius have announced Mutant Chronicles: Dark Symmetry. This will be the 3rd edition, a complete re-write of the 2nd edition, that’ll use d20s with a new approach to the system. The first release, due in Autumn 2013, is Mutant Chronicles: Dark Symmetry […]
Harp Twins cover Doctor Who
Fan of the Harp Twins? In the past they’ve covered Game of Thrones, Zelda and plenty of other popular geek tunes.
Wicked Fantasy to rewrite classic fantasy races
[Back this Campaign] John Wick’s Wicked Fantasy is a suppliment for the Pathfinder RPG that promises to revive the classic fantasy races. In the pitch video Wick explains they took each of the classic fantasy races, worked out what makes them special and then ramps that aspect up to 11. I’ve lots of sympathy for […]
Kobolds Ate My Baby … the musical
Did you think someone would take Kobolds At My Baby and turn it into a musical? Into a loud, cheese rock, style musical? Well, for better or for worse, it has happened. The fact that there’s a Kickstarter, by 9th Level Games, for Kobolds Ate My Baby in Colour might have something to do with […]
Just what is Marvel’s Project Gamma?
At the achingly hip SXSW (South by South West) conference that merges tech with anyone else who might be interested Marvel announced Project Gamma. In summary; it’s music that plays along with your comics. It’s a little more complex than it appears at first. Normally the way to assign music to comics would be to […]
Team Unicorn and “For the Win”
This is Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget, meets Mad Max, meets barbarian bikini chic and with a dose of cosplay con thrown in for good measure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NarbqFTrXbE Yup! Lots of famous geeks in here; Grant Imahara (Mythbusters), Ashley Holliday (Hollywood Heights), Aisha Tyler (Archer,24) and even the mighty “Weird Al” Yankovic. The video was directed […]
The London Super Comic Con cosplay music video
This is an excellent cosplay roundup from Sneaky Zebra. I wonder who invented this format – little snips of as much of the cosplay in any convention set to an upbeat tune. It works so well and I imagine helps encourage others into the hobby. It’s also good to see British cosplays stepping up to […]
