The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 Kratos

October 13, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Show off your geek cred by picking a Halloween mask that enjoys an origin from outside the horror movie space.  Kratos is at the centre of the God of War series; an icon of vengence and a thumping fighter. The 12 Masks of Halloween is an annual tradition here at Geek Native. There’s a new […]

China bans foreign money for game development

October 13, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

China has banned foreign firms from investing in the domestic games industry. The authorities hope this is a way to curtail Western attempts to skirt around strict censorship laws. The ruling has come from the General Administration of Press and Publication and the National Copyright Administration and is so strict that foreign firms may not […]

October 9, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #4 The Predator

October 9, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think Predator was the best film Arnie was in – better than all the Terminators. I’m not so sure about the AvP franchise although AVPR: Aliens vs Predator – Requiem wasn’t all that bad. What I am sure about is the Predator is an iconic Halloween monster. That’s why it makes the cut as […]

Computational Pop-Up Book

October 8, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a demo of what would be an extremely funky pop-up book. The usual trick is to load the pop-up book with glitter and other shiny stuff that explodes over the reader and haunts the carpet fluff for weeks to come.

October 8, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fed up of being a rabbit in a human suit? A Donnie Darko custom is one step closer to being a human in a rabbit suit for this Halloween. Speaking of Donnie Darko; whatever happened to the sequel? Has it been and gone already? Wasn’t it going to centre on the sister? Every year, Geek […]
