What did you make of the Doctor Who’s episodes “The Rebel Flesh” and “The Almost People”? A tricky ethical business with using flesh goo to create your own Ganger – especially if you then happen to find out that they remember what happens to them and you’ve already allowed hundreds to die. What would you […]

Sneaky robot controlled by Wii remote
This robot isn’t part of Nintendo’s Wii U news. The first thing you’ll be invited to do is try and spot the robot on a table of items. Yes, one of those items just happens to be a Tachikoma. Okay, sure, we’re talking about a pretty basic robot but it is controlled with the Wii […]
SkyDrive syncing for WP7
Right now, as this blog post is written, the Open Mobile summit is on and Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop is speaking. He’s denying, again, that Nokia is for sale. There’s been a host of cracking comments from him. In fact, Nokia themselves have just retweeted; “Nokia are making lots of contributions to WP7 s/w, not […]
The Church of Omega [Doctor Who, Speculation]
At the start of the year, before series 6 of Doctor Who, this blog speculated whether Benedict Cumberbatch would play Omega in the new series. That would mean Geek Native thought Omega might be making a return. The argument – and other bloggers have also made it – is a simple one. This is the […]
Dragon Warriors trailer
Dragon Warriors was the first ever RPG I bought. I’d been playing my own homebrew until then. The current home of Dragon Warriors is Serpent King Games – who might actually be better known by the founding trio’s names; Gareth Hanrahan, Jon Hodgson and Ian Sturrock. There’s a version of the new Dragon Warriors RPG […]
Batman: Year One trailer
DC have given us a 10 minute plus teaser trailer for Batman: Year One. This is the Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli Batman story that has become one of the most pivitol stories in the Dark Knight’s Legacy. The new animated movie will feature the voices of Ben McKenzie as Batman and big guns Eliza […]
X-Men Born This Way
This is a pretty funky song that the X-Men: First Class movie inspired. I’m told it’s a parody of a piece of music produced by a “Lady Gaga”. If true I have to wonder whether she’s a superhero too; has the name to match. I wonder what her powers might be? Kudos to Ryan from […]
Bioshock completion anxiety: the musical
Lightsatsparkwood21 seems to have trouble finishing things – despite her obvious talent. Our YouTube hero opens this video by explaining that she’s had trouble filming her Bioshock song for us and hopes that this will be the last take. The song? It’s about her inability to play Bioshock without having to… well, stop and hide. […]
E3: Actual gameplay demo with Kinect and Mass Effect 3
We’ve had some official trailers for Mass Effect 3 that have come out of E3. I don’t think they did that good at job at illustrating what’s going to be cut scene and what’s actual gameplay. They certainly didn’t give an indication as to what the experience of playing the game was like… nor really […]
PlayStation TV lets two people see different screens
Do you think multiplayer works if you have to cope with split screen? I don’t. Even if you have a large TV you still have to game with the fact that the other player can see what you’re doing. If you’re not going head to head there’s still the chance that you’ll briefly peak at […]
