This infographic just about fits inside the Tardis. Just about. K9 and Kamelion are on this chart creators have done the right thing and counted them as Companions. Got to say; this infographic reminds me of how much I disliked Visior Turlough when I watched the show as a young pre-blogger. I suspect I’d find […]

Does your RPG suffer from female armour syndrome?
I nearly opened this blog post with “I wonder what the figures are…” that would have been a bad start. Let’s return to figure issues later. I wonder what the stats are; the percentage of male gamers who play female characters versus the percentage of female gamers who play male characters. Of the male gamers […]
Happy Tau Day – 6.28 to you
Today is Tau Day. You need to think of the American way of putting the month before the date to get 6.28.2011 before that really makes sense. Tau Day isn’t just a “Hey! Look. 6.28 is a rounding on Tau” gimmick. There are maths geeks out there who really think there’s too much focus on […]
Join the rebellion: Greenpeace blasts VW in “The Dark Side”
This an awesome spoof by Greenpeace that rides on the success of The Force Super Bowl that Vokswagen famously tested online first. Greenpeace UK are clearly unhappy that the car maker is not towing the line when it comes to CO2 emissions. As a result the pressure group has put together this geek friendly and […]
Star Wars: R2-D2 Operation game
Remember playing Operation? It’s one of those games we played as kids. It’s one of those games we mixed alcohol with as adults and found it was twice as fun. It seems Hasbro might be trying to up the game even further. ToyWiz will be doing brisk trade this week after the interwebs noticed they […]
That scene in Star Wars with Nyan cat in it
Nyan cat was in Star Wars, episode IV, but not many people remember it. It’s strange because it’s an important scene and Nyan cat is easy to spot. It’s the scene in which Obi Wan is trying to explain The Force to Luke. R2-D2 is nearby and seems to be watching in. After Nyan cat’s […]
Stormbikers
This is an odd picture for a Hungarian biker blog to be posting. Okay, yes, it does include what appears to be a bike. It’s the driver and passenger that catch my attention though. There’s something familiar about them. I’ve seen them somewhere before. Not sure what’s on the back of the passenger either. A […]
Norton by Symantec via Captain America
I can’t decide whether this is what we call “branded content” in marketing land. Sure; it’s clearly Norton branded and it’s clearly content but this isn’t Norton’s content. Wht Norton have done is wrap themselves into a behind the scenes look at the Captain America movie. I imagine the thinking is as straight forward as […]
By Wandlight t-shirt on RIPT
Matt Needham, aka Spiritgreen, makes sure that Geek Native knows when his latest design is about to feature on a “design a day” site. This time round we’ve a “By Wandlight” t-shirt that features some familar scenes. Needham said; This magically illuminated scene is inspired by some of the key monsters from the Harry Potter […]
The Imerj smartpad
If you’re interested in the evolution of hardware and the convergence of devices then this is shaping up to be a good year. We’ve got laptops like the Fujitsu Lifebook TH40/D moving towards the tablet space but there’s also phone-like devices moving from the other side of the spectrum. For example, Imerj has a device […]
