Five funny LEGO ads

February 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Not much to say about this collection – other than sit back and enjoy. This mini collection was put together by My Modern Met who grepped them from multiple sources. which is your favourite? I’m going with “Vader Sucks!” Or maybe with Chewy.

Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster

February 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Gosh! After getting all creepy with a visit Dead Island and grabbing the haunting soundtrack it became necessary to find something much lighter to blog out. Something lighter – like MONSTERS! Fortunately, Double Fine and Warner were at hand to roll out some Sesame Street monsters and amuse us all. Without further ado; Once Upon […]

Get the Dead Island trailer music

February 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Many people noticed the Dead Island trailer. It’s been one of the viral success stories for computer games – along with, perhaps, DC Universe’s Fractured Future. In particular, many people were caught by the soundtrack. The calm and sad music is a horrible juxtaposition to the bloody carnage played out in reverse in the video. […]

Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II – Retribution

February 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If everything went according to THQ’s plan the Dawn of War II beta ran until midnight on Feb 24th. Players who had bought Dawn of War via STEAM the first time around had the chance to become a beta player for this nearly final bug round. I’m not sure if everything did go to plan […]

The Force parody

February 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You’ll recall Vokswagen’s The Force ad for the Super Bowl that went mega viral. Now we have a parody – and it’s a great one. All hail Marin Plourde aka Violent Broccoli for this re-take. Imagine if Mini Vader had actual powers. What if it wasn’t a Passat? Superb! It’s worth checking out Violent Broccoli’s […]

127 Seconds – Marvel parodies Oscar hopeful 127 Hours

February 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you seen Danny Boyle‘s 127 Hours? I haven’t. Not my cup of tea. Don’t need to see James Franco suffer. The fact that the flick is up for an Oscar or so means it is noteworthy though – and comic powerhouse Marvel have noticed. Marvel does 127 Hours? Surely not. Correct. Instead we’ve got […]

New Thundercats trailer

February 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Last night over in the States and on Cartoon Network the first trailer for the new Thunderscats ran. As we’ve come to expect someone has managed to get a fairy good copy of this onto YouTube. There’s a risk it’ll be yaned but I suspect Cartoon Network will enjoy the publicity. I think it’s happily […]

Murmurs of Middle Earth music

February 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Native has featured some of Pogo’s music before. There’s the Skynet Symphonic and less geeky but just as cool Upular based on Up. This Lord of the Rings musical treatment is one of my favourite so far. Check it out. How would you rate it? Better or worse than Upular? Or do you feel […]

Preview: Small Town Hero

February 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A short while back Geek Native interviewed Al Seeger of Point of Insanity Game Studio. Al had a tendency to work on the traditional RPG equivalent of cross-platform games. He’s been working on a systemless super hero adventure called Small Town Here. We’ve grabbed a preview! Every hero needs to start somewhere. Stonewell is just […]

Animated amigurumi cuteness

February 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Native has covered plenty of amigurumi before – even U900 the cutely animated amigurumi band. Well; it’s time for more amigurumi cuteness and this time we need it in caterpillar form. What? Don’t think this the height of amigurumi cuteness? Waaah!
