Song for Ulvaak

August 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The song for Ulaavk by Allie Goertz is an original melody and a song for Dungeons and Drgaons. The lyrics are by Patton Oswalt and for a D&D character he played. I think we’ve all had characters that we feel artistic about – I can only imagine how could it would be for someone like […]

Jonathan Ross’ Turf review

August 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Jonathan Ross may be best known for his voice talent on Fable 3. He worked alongside Stephen Fry and, oh, what… wait? Ah! Okay. I’m told Mr Ross is actually best known for being a mega-famous UK personality. You can tell he’s a heavy hitter because Mark Millar himself provides the intro to the graphic […]

The Shadow’s iPad ad

August 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was lucky enough to watch Dave Gorman’s PowerPoint presentation during the Edinburgh Festival. Like Geek Native readers he is a creature of the internet. This is a good thing. In the presentation we get to look at a poster ad for Apple’s iPad. I don’t want to spoil the show – it’s on tour, […]

Lego gunblade

August 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Remember Cloud’s Squall’s famous gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. Pretend for a minute that it would work – a gun that’s also a sword! Fantastic! What a clever idea. If you’re willing to pretend that the gunblade design would work then it’s not that much more of a stretch to imagine that, well, a home […]

Nooo! Darth Vader

August 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fans are saying the latest edits to Star Wars cost Lord Vader his dignity. In case you’ve been able to miss the outcry Lucas are releasing yet another version of Star Wars for you to buy all over again. What’s changed? They’ve “fixed” the sound – although other visual changes, like adding blinking eyes for […]

The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild RPG review

August 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The One Ring RPG is the latest Lord of the Rings roleplaying games. My main aspiration when I bought the game, buying it as a pre-order, was that it felt like Lord of the Rings. I think we all have our own take on Lord of the Rings. We now even have a generation of […]

Nihon Buyo dancing robot is the cutest

August 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, this blogger doesn’t really know whether this cute little robot is really dancing Nihon Buyo style – but he is having a go at traditional Japanese dancing. In fact, his routine is described as the Lion dance. I’m going with Nihon Buyo as a style because it was designed for the theatre, involves some […]

Will Doctor Who be cancelled?

August 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

Doctor Who makes the British red top newspapers often. Why? It’s an easy way to gain attention from blogs like Geek Native and even much bigger blogs that could drive some traffic. In fact, I might even speculate that the offline readership of these right wing rags contain enough people who either see Doctor Who […]

Prototype: Doctor Who Tardis Journal

August 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geeky shop Entertainment Earth have published a portotype for the Tardis Journal that River Song has made famous. Currently, the proposed book will have 160 white, lined, pages. This is the “spoilers” book. I suspect it’ll be a popular buy and an ideal gift.
