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 […]

Sneakily gripping: A review of Robotics; Notes parts 1 and 2
This is a review of both parts of Robotics;Notes. I was able to watch both parts in quick succession because of a hurt foot and compulsory residence on the sofa. It makes a big difference to the series. Part 1 (episodes 1 to 11) are great but give the impression of a carefully paced, feel […]
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 […]
War of the Worlds meets Achtung Cthulhu in this great video
This is a must see video. It’s called the “Great Martian War” but this gamer took one look and immediately saw War of Worlds meets Achtung Cthulhu. The footage here comes from World War 1 footage… with, yeah, aliens added. It gets better. If you pop over to History.co.uk you’ll find more of the same. […]

Which Game of Throne characters have had the most screen time? Has House Lannister had more of the limelight than House Stark? See the Pen Polar Area Chart (Game of Thrones) by Desmond (@DesmondW) on CodePen. This impressive and interactive visual is the work of designer and developer Desmond Weindorf. It uses data from the […]
A look inside: Adventure Time cartoon cards
Adventure Time – The Original Cartoon Title Cards is a new volume of quirky, brilliant and bizarre title cards. Not sure what a title card is? Title cards typically come after the opening sequence but before the first bit of the show. It’s a chance for the TV program to reveal the episode’s title. In […]
Latest Arrow season 3 trailer
Arrow season 3 is nearly out in the States. Kinda. It’s due on the CW on October 8th. We can hope it escapes to other territories shortly after that. I don’t suppose there are any surprises in this trailer. We see a little more of Ray Palmer and the expected Thea Queen training scene. One […]
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 […]
Magic or Science: A review of Karneval
Karneval wastes no time in getting going. As the anime opens there is a young man handcuffed to a bed and a lecherous noble woman astride him. Kinky? It would help if the noble woman wasn’t also a hideous monster who literally hungers for flesh. Thankfully for our innocent hero – “Get off, you’re heavy” […]
