Wizards announce Dungeons & Dragons: Conquest of Nerath
Wizards of the Coast have shared more information about the forthcoming Conquest of Nerath. If link doesn’t work for you – it’ll be because you’re being redirected to the Amazon UK site which doesn’t yet have the game. I hope this doesn’t point towards distributive issues for WoTC. This is a big issue for Wizards […]
Doctor Who – A Good Man Goes to War prequel
Have you caught up with Doctor Who and “The Almost People”? There’s quite a cliff hanger at the end of it… and the next episode will be the last for a while. Annoying, this series of Doctor Who is split in the middle and the show picks up again towards the end of the year. […]
Must happen? Isaiah Mustafa as Luke Cage
Power Man is a black superhero who first appeared in comicbook form back in 1972. He’s now better known as Luke Cage. The backstory is … well, what you might expect from a 1970s effort involving a black superhero. He was sent to jail for a crime he was not responsible for. However, in return […]
The Daily Record’s Doctor Who fail – Tardis or Turd?
The British tabloid The Daily Record ended up calling a poor kid names after a typesetting cockup that makes even the worst “publish your own RPG” efforts look truely professional. The article was supposed to about Zachary Smith getting his own Tardis for his birthday. A full-sized Tardis at that. However, the Daily Record managed […]
Mythbusters do the Doctor Who dance
Have the Mythbusters ever looked into any of the science on Doctor Who? Dunno. They’ve looked into sci-fi before, or, well, some of the real-world science around sci-fi films like Deep Blue Sea. This video stars just one Mythbuster – the famous Adam Savage – a heck of a lot of electricity being pumped out […]
Leonard Nimoy as you’ve never seen him before: the Bruno Mars music video
This is a music video for Bruno Mar’s album Doo-Wops & Hooligans (iTunes link). It’s all about Leonard Nimoy. I didn’t spy much of a Fringe shoutout in it but there’s more than enough Star Trek references. The vid’s clealry working. There’s been over a quarter of a film views on YouTube since this went […]
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides review
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a good movie but it is not fantastic. Johnny Depp’s favourite character, Captain Jack Sparrow, is back for another visually familiar pirate romp around the world. There are some significant changes to the movie from the last three, though, especially the last two. Perhaps first among these […]
Nintendo characters as X-Men
Artist unknown – shout up if you know – comes this fantastic four X-Men meets Nintendo panels of art. My favourite, without a doubt, is Colossus Kong. In second place is Cyclops Luigi and Rogue Yoshi. How would you rate the collection?
Mass Effect: Garrus Vakarian cosplay
One early “popular” post on Geek Native was this collection of Mass Effect 2 cosplay. I thought Grunt looked super cool, but I understand more than a few people thought female Shepard and Tali were the hotness. If there are cosplayers out there who can produce an effective Grunt cosplay, then surely there’s someone with […]
