This is an advert for arctic spyder lasers and, yeah, the presentor manages to mention the brand about half a million times. We also don’t get to see his head so there’s the suggestion of some horrible popcorn torture video. However, the video is proof that with a couple of commerically available lasers you can […]

UK based Guild Companion Publications pick up HARP, Rolemaster and Spacemaster license
Back in 2001 Aurigas Aldebaron purchased Iron Crown Enterprises (aka ICE) and all its intellectual property. I remember ICE for their MERP license most of all but they lost that late in 1999. Aurigas Aldebaron is a company which manages the ownership of intellectual property – like gaming worlds and systems – and had (and […]
Sexy Mrs Vader as you’ve never seen her before
It’s true that you should be keeping an eye on Geeks are Sexy. It’s not true that they concentrate on finding sexy geek images – it just so happens that sometimes that’s exactly what they do. For example, there’s this Mrs Vader image they grokked off IGN (which now seems to have been removed from […]
Picture: First picture of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man
I’m not sure what you think about the re-boot of the Spider-man series. Perhaps you think the film house destroyed the original series by demanding an expanding series of villians appear in the script in order to sell more franchise material. Perhaps you’re worried about how Andrew Garfield will look as Spider-man. He’s a skinny […]
Freak Mario to save Mario?
This is a bit messed up. It’s a YouTube video designed to grab the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto the creator of Mario. It’s messed up. Really, it’s hard to say much about this freakish video except that the author clearly thinks Mario has been lead down the nightmare path to destruction. Freaky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=863GSlfp9Uw One more […]
DirecTV is Kryptonite, says superhero bashing DirecTV ad
Okay, I get the ad – DirecTV is so cool that even superheroes would rather watch it than fight crime. Clever, huh? No. Not for this geek. This ad just tells me that DirecTV is something the world would be better off without. DirecTV is something we need to overcome, something we need to fear […]
Chair for women with a hentai fetish? Cthulhu chair?
I think words may have escaped this blogger. Designer Maximo Riera call this an Octopus Chair from their Animal Chair range. The Octopus Chair is the first in the collection. It’s supposed to be biologically accurate and it looks like it is. It’s supposed to represent the animal’s natural vitality. Maybe it does… but this […]
Check out the UK’s Green Hornet trailer
The promotion for the Green Hornet is out in the UK and Geek Native has a copy. You know the plot; after the death of his father, Britt Reid teams up with his dad’s assistant Kato to become a masked fighting team. It’s what I’d do if I inherited a fortune and a Kato. The […]
A Shadow on the Glass review
I’ve finally finished Ian Irvine’s A Shadow on the Glass. This was the book that earned me the GetGlue sticker War and Peace because I was checking into the book for over a month. I’m pleased I got to the end but it was a struggle. Why was A Shadow on the Glass such a […]
A demon rug: doom for your floor!
Do you know those old style hunting rugs? The ones with the hide of some mighty game beast stretched out on the floor in front of the fireplace? In most games they feature in haunted houses or belong to insane hunters who decide the ultimate is to track the human-animal. Miss Monster has a new […]
