Impressive machine “knits” a brick road

November 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brick roads don’t simply look nice they’re also durable and much less prone to pot holes than other surfaces. The reason why more brick roads aren’t laid is simply the time and resources it takes to make them. Okay, I know this is Geek Native and not Road Maker Native so stick with me as […]

Minecraft: the LARP

November 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s been a fair bit of visitors to Geek Native’s old Mindcraft review. It’s a page that dates back to the GameWyrd days. One theory as where these searchers are coming from are people searching for Minecraft. If that’s the case then this post will confuse things even more. In this post we feature Gary […]

Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is the perfect Christmas present

November 25, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is more than a book. Sure, it’s classed as a book but the hardback comes in a cardboard box sleeve, comes with 3D glasses, comes with pull-outs and cards. It is a fully 3D book; not just because you can use the glasses to turn the pictures into semi-3D images but […]

Embarrassed Hasbro pulls the plug on “Spastic” Transformer

November 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Shove Mink, also known as Croshame is doing well for herself, as blogs wake up to the talent the 30-something artist has. In particular; we’re going nuts about her crochet skills and the armigrumi exorcist set. Who set knitting was girly?

Interactive Puppet Kinect Act

November 22, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Kinect may not appeal to everyone but a sign that it’s here to stay is how quickly so many people are doing cool things with it. These cool things are often a result of hacking. To begin with Microsoft wasn’t that happy about the hacking. The good news is that they now say they’re […]

November 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
