Geek Native readers may well have spotted Sackboy popping up now and then on this blog. For example, back in October he was featured holding a cute X10 mini. There are currently three Sackboys in the flat. Is that too many? I suspect Sony would say we could fit one or two more in the […]

Pac-man toilet
This looks like a Pac-man toilet to me. Yeah, I’m aware that we don’t see Pac-man anywhere in the actual design – perhaps that’s due to legal reasons – but who else uses a toilet like this? A ghost inspired by Pac-man toilet? Nope. I think not. This is the Pac-man toilet. Just as this […]
Samsung’s Galaxy Ace goes Super Slow-Motion Motion
The creative talents at work helping Samsung promote their Android range have come up with another video. It’s a fun video because you get to see the general look of puzzlement from the curious onlooks. That’s always a bonus. This video is to promote the Galaxy Ace. The phone runs Android 2.2, 150MB + 2GB […]
Brain-powered steampunk mouse
I wonder how many people will see a tweet that says “Brain-powered steampunk mouse”, decide to click and find themselves blinking at this odd and slightly disturbing contraption. It’s a brain-powered steampunk mouse, they’ll think, as if the clue wasn’t in the title of the post. British designer Peter Balch is to “thank” for this […]
Mass Effect 2: The Arrival trailer
Mass Effect 2 is still big news among gamer geeks. This isn’t simply due to the fact that we can sense the arrival of Mass Effect 3. It’s because Mass Effect 2 still holds our attention and we’ve only just got news of Mass Effect: Arrival. The first bit of DLC for the franchise in […]
Little Bobby Tables versus the Census
Here in the UK we’ve just had the census. It’s illegal not to fill it out and there’s a £1,000 fine if you fail to do so. The geek story around the census of yester-years is that enough people put “Jedi” down as their religion that the UK would have to recognise Jedi as an […]
Deadly gamer cake
I have to wonder whether Geek Native is on a quest to share with other natives the very best cakes on the interwebs. Favourites so far have included the Cthulhu cake, the chestburster cake and the Superhero mashup cake. I think we to add this one to the list. I know it only as “the […]
Spend More on Beer: A Free RPG Round-Up
This is a guest article from Craig Higdon. Higdon heads up RPG Character Illustrations where he combines his extensive gaming knowledge with a savvy knack for online businesses, good content and strategy. Think back on the last game supplement you bought. Yeah, the one for $39.95 with 5 new classes and two new races. Does […]
Slow motion: Using ping-pongs and mouse traps to simulate a nuclear explosion
Here’s one for science. Imagine you needed to do a visual and tactile illustration of how a nuclear reaction works. You’ll need a way to show how the addition of an extra atom can shake things up in an explosive sort of way. If you’ve got access to a slow motion video camera then you […]
Did you miss the season 6 prequel?
Last Friday, to get us ready for The Impossible Astronaut the first episode in season 6 of Doctor Who, the BBC released a short prequel video. It’s just shy of 2 minutes long. It’s unlikely but it’s entirely possible that you missed it. If that’s the case then this will help. Bloggers who have a […]
