In 1953 Cave Johnson founded Aperture Science in order to make shower curtains for the American military. After becoming less than sane due a serious dose of mercury poisoning in 1978 he changed direction… the result being man sized quantum tunnels through space (ideal for stopping water spilling out of the shower). Turns out – […]

This Fantasy World – D&D love song
This Fantasy World is a cute little tune by a musical duo known as The Doubleclicks – no relation to Google’s giant tracking and ad devliery system – with a custom animation from Brad Jonas. This song comes out of the song-a-week project the Doubleclicks are holding so I can’t imagine weeks and weeks of […]
RPG Character Illustrations walkthrough
RPG Character Illustrations is a useful resource for gamers like myself – gamers without an atom of artistic talent. The site gives you a way to order custom crafted and hand illustrated character portraits at a resonable price. This post is a walkthrough of my experience becoming a customer of RPG Character Illustrations. A chance […]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon game trailer
I can only hope Transformers 3 turns out to be a good movie. My levels of hope for this are not high. I’m not sure either the filmhouse or the directors involved understand what the fans want. The trailer for the game looks better! Why? It seems like a far more straight forward proposition. That’s […]
DC Universe: Tech Mentor storyline trailer
There’s no doubt we’ve seen some fantastic cinematic trailers from DC Universe already. Even the gameplay trailer that featured the usual style of chaostic mass combat MMOs are associated with is worth a watch. Now we’ve a new kind of trailer: the documentary style walkthrough. This video looks at how DC Universe begins if you […]
Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer
This is a rather straight forward but also rather brilliant trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s a bit of a mass catch up that shows scenes and landscapes we’re all familiar with, introduces the Sith, the war and then characters will be familiar with. Despite these introductions this The Old Republic trailer doesn’t […]
TRON 3 (TR3N) trailer
There’s a 10 minute long trailer for TRON 3: The Next Day. Yeah 10 minutes long. The trailer contains a major reveal but I’m not sure if it’s a spoiler. The trailer is a documentary style recap on the Flynn Lives movement that sprung up to resist the corporate transformation of ENCOM after Kevin Flynn […]
Kinect-Controlled Evil Genius Similator
Brightarcs is a UK based company that builds Tesla coils – no ordinary Telsa coils but musical ones. If you fancy you can hire them to create products that use high voltages and plasma. Sounds like good old fashioned dangerous fun. Geek comedian Tom Scott (who Geek Native has interviewed) took his camera crew to […]
Dr Grordborts animation
This animation from Weta New Zealand caught my eye. Steampunk wars on Vensus where we seem to have mankind, lead by Lord Cockswain, against those churlish savages the native Venusians. I’d never encountered Greg Broadmore’s Doctor Grordbort before so I investigated a bit more. The website is pretty but odd – “What does it do?” […]
Footprints #1 review
I can honestly say that Footprints is the first Cryptozoological noir comic I’ve read and tried to review. It features Mr Foot aka Bigfoot as the grungy detective who finds he has to investigate the murder of his own odd brother – Yeti. This is a review of Footprints, issue #1. Indeed the cast and […]
