Genndy Tartokovsky’s animated Priest prologue

May 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Tomorrow Priest hits the screens in America. It stars Paul Bettany as Priest and Maggie Q has Priestess as well as Karl Urban as Black Hat and Cam Gidandet as Hicks. The 3D movie is directed by Scott Charles Stewart. Bleeding Cool have had this rather funky animated prologue from Geendy Tartakovksy online for a […]

Redesigned At-Ats are art

May 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sometimes juxtaposition is all you need. Seven Hundred’s restyled At-Ats are a perfect example of this. Funky stuff.  I suspect we’ll be seeing more of his art on high profile sites in the future! Hopefully on Geek Native too! Not sure what to say about this picture. Scooby-Do meets Star Wars. The Mystery Machine meets […]

Epic Leather: Stormtrooper bike mask

May 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Etsy store Epic Leather has these striking stormtrooper motorcycle masks for about $200. I think the mask only begins to look stormtrooper-like when its being worn. You’ll see what I mean if you’ve time to compare these two pictures.

Your very own empathic, robotic cat girl ears from Japan

May 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These are real. They’re robotic cat ears from a Japanese company called Neurowear. If you’ve spotted the “neuro” in the title then you’re right. These ears actually respond to brainwaves and move in response to your thought patterns. Okay, these ears might not be for everyone – or might not be for most people – […]

Second Conan the Barbarian trailer

May 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

By Crom! I won’t let this second trailer for the new Conan the Barbarian to slip by. This trailer seems to up the tempo for the move, showing not just some swords and sandels but some sorcerery as well. Looks like the Stygian Set lovers are at it again. I wonder what the tentacle beast […]

8-bit Super Mario Ghostbusters

May 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Go mashup power. Go the very cute 8-bit Dr Egon Spengler! I’m not sure there will be any Super Mario action in the forthcoming Ghostbusters movie. There will, however, be both a Ghostbusters 3 and Ghostbusters 4 now that Bill Murray has signed on. There are rumours Venkman may only have a small role in […]

Make your very own Deadspace 2 Plasma Cutter

May 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you ordered the right version of Deadspace 2 – by which I mean the expensive, exclusive one, the one that bricks and motar stores really need people to pay for – you’ll have a toy Plasma Cutter. Toys can be upgraded. That’s exactly what the Amazing Lasers channel has done. It’s a simple walk […]

Evolution of Dance: Stormtrooper style

May 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Evolution of Dance was one of the most popular videos on YouTube for a long time. Most of the native geeks reading this blog post will have watched it long ago. Right now, only 200 people have seen this version from JD Duncan. However, it’s Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), the video was […]

RPG music video: Roll a D6

May 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 8 Comments

I’m quite impressed by this. It’s a parody of Far East Movement’s Like a G6 and I wonder how much the music video helped inspire the concept. Right at the start of the G6 video (which I watched after D6) the camera walks around and a corner and – for a second – I swear […]
