Cherie Priest already has nine novels to her name and is perhaps best known for the steampunk adventures; Boneshaker, Dreadnough and Clementine. Bloodshot is the first of a new urban fantasy trilogy that features man of mystery and international thief known to authorities as Cheshire Red. The catch? Chesire Red isn’t a man. She’s not […]

I am the Doctor – a fan made, mash up of a remote Orchestra
I’ll admit I was interested in the concept of a Doctor Who Fan Orchestra when I heard of the project. I have no musical talent, you understand, none what so ever – but I knew the Who community was strong and recent Doctor Who seasons have had some fantastic music. It got even more geeky; […]
Pac-man swimsuit
Is Geek Native turning into a fashion blog? We’ve had the C3PO swimsuit, the R2-D2 swimsuit and Darth Vadar swimsuit. They’ve all been from a boutique called Black Milk who know when they’re on to a winner. Now we’ve got the Pacman swimsuit. It’s $90.00.
Kaley Cuoco warns of Slave Leia syndrome
Is it possible to have too many Slave Leias at a convention? Actress Kaley Cuoco thinks so! Whereas she stresses she’s not against cosplay girls dressing as Slave Leia, she cautions against Slave Leia fatigue in this helpful Public Service Ad from America. You may recognise her from the Big Bang Theory. I do. Thanks […]
Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows trailer
A Game of… A Game of… I’ve already had my email from Amazon to say that A Game of Thrones’ A Dance with Dragons has shipped – but no book! Now I have a trailer to showcase A Game of Shadows is coming… but no film. I’ll have to wait for both. Gah! At least […]
Colt .45 Cufflinks
There’s a reason I keep my eyes on the virtual shop shelves of the geeks over at Vat19. They come up with pretty exciting things to sell. For example, imagine cufflinks made from spent Colt .45 rounds. You don’t need to imagine because Vat19 sells them, and I can show you what they look like. […]
Is this the leaked Dell Peju tablet?
We might never know if this video is a real leak of Dell’s Peju tablet as there may be design changes still to be made. It looks real though. Why? A lot of effort on the video but not really all that much to show. A fake, I think, would have faked more. This blogger […]
Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death – Fighting Fantasy comes to PlayStation
Fans of Fighting Fantasy will be pleased to know that the series is coming to PlayStation. It’ll be available for both the PSP and PS3. Yes, that Fighting Fantasy – the choose your own adventure books from Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. Fighting Fantasy lives on. It may be usual to see remakes of Warlock […]
The Secret of the Unicorn: two minutes of Tintin
I’m a little surprised that I’m writing this – but Tintin looks like it might be a good movie. I suppose neither Steven Spielberg, director, or Peter Jackson, producer, want to rubbish an adventure franchise that has been going strong for nearly 100 years. I’m also intrigued by the visuals. It’s an animation but not […]
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows – first two posters
What we have here are Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law looking perfectly Holmes and Watson. The first movie was good for a whole number of reasons; one of which was the look and feel. Judging by these two posters A Game of Shadows is heading in that direction too. Sherlock Holmes 2 also includes […]
