The good thing about good ideas is that they’re persistent. Last May I wrote about the LARP series Basic Adventuring 101, reckoned it was worth a shout and backed it on Kickstarter. The team raised nearly $17,000 which is a heck of a lot of funds for a webseries but fell short of their $25,000. […]

Netflix’s official Daredevil trailer
When does Daredevil come to Netflix? April 10th. We can thank the trailer for the answer. We also confirm that all episodes will arrive at once. Ready for some binge Daredevil watching? What do you think? Tempted? Worried? Both?
Not the official live action Zelda trailer
Made with help from the Player Piano team, directed by Clinton Jones and produced by Sarah Quillian, this is not the official trailer for the live action Zelda show. We believe Netflix is working on an official Legend of Zelda show. This fan-made one will give them a run for their money. In this version […]
Netflix’s Daredevil trailer
This trailer popped up online while I was out of the country a week ago. In that time it’s had over 1,000,000 watches. This suggests Netflix is on to a winner with its set of four superhero series. Daredevil, perhaps because of the movie rather than despite it, may be the strongest of the titles. […]
Tales of Alethrion trailer
I’m a big fan of the short animation The Reward. I backed the team when they went to crowdfunding to take the 9 minute story and make it a much larger one. As a recap – two men fighting over a map, team up, for the sake of the map and explore the world looking […]
Amazon to pilot The Man in the High Castle
Based on Philip K Dick’s alternative history, Hugo Award-winning, the pilot episode is an hour long and will be part of seven shows in a season airing via Amazon Instant Video in the US, UK and Germany. Amazon viewers have the chance to provide feedback and Amazon will use that to determine which make the […]
New series of Wastelander Panda
Way back in 2012 Geek Native covered the post-apocalyptic series Wastlander Panda. Things have progressed from then. The video has become a YouTube series and there’s now a sequel. The new series is called Wastelander Panda: Exile and follows Isaac as he battles to reclaim his family’s place in the Tribe of Legions. You might […]
Judge Dredd: Superfiend trailer
This is a trailer for Adi Shankar’s Judge Dredd tribute. Adi explains the animation is a departure from the film and channels more of the humour found in the comic book series. There’s plenty of shocks and gore in here but this “Bootleg series” show is apparently aimed at children. I suppose that works. I’m […]
Halo Nightfall trailer
There are a few Halo Nightfalls – there’s the Halo: Reach level and a Halo song. This Halo Nightfall is the live action crated by Paul Scheuring (Prison Break). It’s expected there will be five episodes that’ll come out with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The story in Nightfall will connect Halo 4 and Halo […]
Netflix secures Gotham
Here I was worrying that Gotham would roll out on an American cable network and may never get any further than that. Warner Bros’s worldwide television department have announced a deal with Netflix that will take the series across the sea. From 2015, each season of the series will be made available to Netflix members […]
