The truth of the Portal wedding cake

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you study this case closely you can see what’s going on. At the first glance it looks like the bride and groom have popped through a portal near the base of the cake to appear at the top. Is that really what happened? Why do neither of them have a portal gun? That piece […]

Steampunk smartphone

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

Richard Clarkson, aka @Clarkson_Rich, has designed this simply stunning steampunk phone. He calls it a “rotary mechanical smartphone” and I can see why. Clarkson writes that he wanted to include more feeling and life into our digital technology. I think he’s succeeded. Don’t you?

Will social games save the Wii U?

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I don’t have a blu-ray player; I have a PlayStation 3. I don’t yet have a tablet. I wonder if in a year’s time I’ll be able to say; “I don’t have a tablet. I have a Wii U”? So far the Wii U has generated a lot of blog chat but it’s not impressed […]

Alice: Madness Returns fan made trailer of dooooom!

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We have the offical Alice: Madness Returns trailer over here. It’s not bad at all. It’s hard to capture sinister creepy in just a few minutes. That’s why this fan made trailer for Spicy Horse‘s highly anticipated game is all that much more impressive. It’s really quiet sinister. Watch out for the syringe that has […]

Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you heard the urban myth that C-3PO, Princess Leia and R2-D2 appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark? It’s not a myth. They do feature. In fact, there’s a lot connecting the two films beyond the fact that the scene in which Rene Belloq and the Nazis square off against Indiana in the canyon […]

Robin Williams is the Zelda elemental

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This advert for Ocarina of Time 3D gets off to a flying start once you recognise Robin Williams‘ voice. The kicker, of course, is that Williams is a huge Zelda fan. In fact, he named his daughter after Princess Zelda. Can you think of anyone better to promote the 3D game?

Darkness – the game, the introduction

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Darkness is a comic from Top Cow and a spin off from Witchblade. It started back in 1996 and features a hitman called Jackie Estacado. On his 21st birthday is power manifests and he becomes the bearer of The Darkness. The Darkness threatens many otherworldly powers who move against Jackie. Here’s the catch. The […]

Batman Live’s Batmobile

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Batmobile was revealed to a select team of geek journalists today. Geek Native wasn’t invited! No. The only conclusion this blogger can make is that the invite was lost in the post and that DC and the Batman Live team will try very hard to make up for the disappointment in some goodiebag shaped […]

Google puts the blood moon in your phone

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There will be a blood moon tonight – a total lunar eclipse. It will be a long one too, lasting for about 100 minutes, that’s the longest since the year 2000. The ecplise starts at about 6:20pm BST (for UK readers) and about 11:20am PDT (for US readers) but, of course, there’s a catch. In […]
