The battle begins: Halo Reach

July 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We knew there would be a Bungie announcement today. Okay; so the big blogs have all been supplied with video content and there’s all sorts of expert coverage. Geek Native didn’t enjoy any of that. However, we can repost the latest Halo Reach trailer that’s now wide spread all over YouTube. Just incase you’ve not […]

Enough footage of Another Century’s Episode: R that you can review the game yourself

July 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Another Century’s Episode: R is an mecha game that evokes pretty much every single anime archetype. Perhaps it’s the same sense of thoroughness that perusaded the game makes to be so inclusive that also perusaded them to release so much in-game footage. The following two YouTube videos probably contain enough of Another Century’s Episode: R […]

What if the bad guy won?

July 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a fantastic idea. What if the bad guy won? This could be dark and scary. It’s not. It’s going to be a comedy but I still sense it’s going to be cool. Waaaay back in March we posted the first Megamind trailer. Thanks to Comic Con we now have another one. Enjoy! Is […]

StarCraft played out in Lego

July 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

How are you doing with Star Craft II? I’m hearing mixed reports. Too expensive, too sluggish and slow? Awesome, addictive, cool enough to play throughout the night? Which StarCraft camp do you belong to? What about the Lego StarCraft camp? It’s pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XduXCp91_IA There’s a host of Lego awesome stuff on Geek Native. Do […]

Warhammer 40,000 Dreadnought is casemod mecha masterpiece!

July 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What does your PC look like? Is it a tall black box that sits under your desk? Unless you’re into casemods then the chances are high that that’s exactly the case. We’ve seen some pretty impressive casemods but many of them have been held back by some limitations. For example; “it needs to fit under […]

Our first spaceship shields are likely to be magnetic

July 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Magnetic energy is pretty strong. We’ve all see it overcome gravity. In fact, as New Scientist is quick to point out; it’s a magnetic force that shields the planet from solar destruction. Since magnetic forces are something we understand, can manipulate and are powerful it seems like it’s not too crazy to speculate that the […]

Mass Effect 2 cosplay is effective, oh, and cool

July 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

When you’re as cool as this you deserve to make it on to the Bioware blog. For Comic Con some awesome fans put together some simply fantastic Mass Effect 2 costumes. There’s Grunt. His mouth moves. It’s so impressive. There’s Tali too. I’m told she was the most popular crew mate to try and sleep […]

Blood and Chrome

July 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The chances are Blood and Chrome will be set somewhere between Battlestar Galactica and Caprica. That’s if Blood and Chrome ever happens again. The Chicago Tribune has a story of an online Battlestar Galactica series that would follow the exploits and heroics of Adama in the first Cylon War. By the way; that would be […]

Clever musical easter egg in Inception

July 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The clever bit is the use of Edith Piaf‘s famous “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien“. It’s best if I don’t explain it – it’s better with the reveal. Watch the video below and marvel. The close call is that the song was nearly dropped from Inception entirely because Marion Cotillard was cast as Mal Cobb; […]

Have your very own garden zombie

July 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Do you have a garden? It needs a zombie. In fact, having studied this zombie for a while – I think it could work in other areas; as long as you can imagine the poor fellow clawing his way through the ground then it’ll work. Imagine the fun you’d have explaining to police, again and […]
