Not sure what the BBC are trying to do with these two micro trailers for Doctor Who. I can suggest that they’re somewhat creepy. Is this just part of the Moff’s campaign to scare us all? What I can say is that I’m really impressed with BBC America‘s social media promotion of Doctor Who; whether […]

The song at the end of Portal 2
Mini-spoiler alert. I suppose if you’re super sensitive to spoilers then you’d consider this post one. We’re here today, class, to feature the song from the end of Portal 2. The spoiler? It’s from the end of the game. The end! Actually, heck, let’s feature a whole load of songs and make the song at […]
Lego Starcraft 2 Siege Tank
The siege tanks in Starcraft 2 are pretty cool. I can see why some clever clogs might well decide to build one out of Lego. Here’s the thing; there’s a big difference between building a siege tank in Lego and building a remote controlled, 4 motor, 2 linear actuator and highly complex siege tank in […]
Marvel’s Little Thor ad spoofs Volkswagen’s “The Force”
Marvel will have a hit with this advert for Thor. It spoofs the famous Volkswagen “The Force” ad that ran for the Super Bowl and became a huge internet hit. It’s also funny in its own right. If you’ve not seen the original; you’ll still enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPNjWWQqWCA What do you think?
Samsung supports unboxing movement with extreme unboxing
You’ll know all about unboxing. It’s when people film the act of taking their latest shiny thing out of the box. Here’s a simple example with the unboxing of Steve Jackson Games’ Zombie Dice. In recent months there’s been a bit of a backlash against unboxing. People suggest it is naff. People hint that unboxing […]
D&D Daggerdale storyline trailer disappoints
I’m not going to gush like a fanboy over the storyline trailer for D&D Daggerdale. I should have been an easy target but I’m disapppointed. It’s not that this video touches on cheese and looks cheap – it’s the lack of effort. Here’s the plot – someone accidently lets Mr Evil build a huge tower […]
In Russia dolls unpack your mind
It was the Cthulhu version of these Russian nesting dolls that caught my attention however the whole collection is impressive. These are from a gallery at the Rothick Art Haus. There isn’t a single artist responsible for these – sense the ranging styles – but over 50 who were invited to do their own version […]
Thriller Autobots
Sometimes you don’t know what’s missing from your life until you see it and understand it hasn’t been there until now. It might be the case that until today you never knew that Transformers dancing to Wacko Jacko’s Thriller was an Autobot shaped hole in your soul. Well! Worry no more. Today that Autobot shaped […]
First shots from Mass Effect 3
Those lucky blighters at GameInformer have been treated to the first ever screen shots from Mass Effect 3. It’s almost as if their site is hugely popular compared to humble Geek Native and firmly on BioWare’s radar. At least you, dear reader, can take heed from the fact that you’re among the elite; reading a […]
30 years of Call of Cthulhu
This may make you feel old, but 2011 is the 30th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu. Zip back in time to 1981. Sandy Petersen – he of Doom fame, yeah; the computer game – pitched a concept to the RPG publisher Chaosium that made use of Lovecraft’s Dreamlands setting. The original game, Dark Worlds, was […]
