Here’s a question to ponder tonight. Are these Portal 2 long fall socks sexy? Ignore the skirt. Focus on the socks. Ask yourself these questions. Are they quirky? Are they cute? Are they geeky? Perhaps; yes, yes and yes. The real debate is – are they sexy? Go, go, shopping!

The Popfunk interview
Popfunk is a t-shirt design company with a particular geek appeal; even as I write this intro I can see designs for I Dream of Jeanie, Labyrinth and Batman tees decorating the front page. There’s even an Axe Cop section. We plotted – what might Popfunk be able to offer that might interest our savvy […]
I want to win the Heroes of Neverwinter flash competition!
Much to everyone’s surprise – Heroes of Neverwinter will go into “open beta” tomorrow. Geek Native, like other geeky sites, was running a competition to give away beta access codes. What will we do? Everyone who entered the original competition is a winner! They’ve been sent access codes. It’s still worth being a private beta […]
Steampunk Octopus and the fire rampage
This video is from Burning Man. Half of what I see from Burning Man makes me want to go there. I must be there. There are engineering geeks burning things – awesome. The other half of me… well, that’s not my scene. It’s worth noting that this is real. People made this fire and metal […]
Beyond the Mythbusters trailer
I wake up to the TV switching on the Discovery Channel. It’s a pretty good way to ensure there’s something decent on that is capable of pulling the sleepy brain into the world of wakefulness. The Mythbuster trailer is particularly good. It’s good because it sings “hallelujah!” at me and because I’m looking forward to […]
Madness? Is Innistrad one Magic: The Gathering collection too far?
If you’re a Magic: The Gathering fan then go to Facebook and LIKE the card game. Wizards of the Coast have a funky “visual reveal” panel that’s teasing us with new cards from the latest expansion to the evergreen CCG. Take a look at “Bump in the Night” on the right there; a Black sorcery […]
Daleks versus Turtle
Not sure what to say about this YouTube discovery. I know enough not to say “Just when you’ve seen everything” – I know that’s not going to happen. There’s more to see. I hope this dalek assult on the turtle isn’t cruel. It’s hard to tell. Certainly the turtle didn’t seem to be bothered. It […]
Win Heroes of Neverwinter beta codes
Update! The goalposts shifted on us, folks! Everyone who entered this competition already is a winner! There are still some codes left in the new flash competition. Did you play Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures only to wake up one day and find it yanked from Facebook? Perhaps you’ve been hearing more and more chat […]
RPG Musical: Role Initiative
Okay, keep playing through the first few seconds of over dramatised musical and the actual video begins. This video is actually an entry for the 2011 Windy City 72 hour film competition. If that means they only had 72 hours to put it together – it’s very good. They had extra requirements; they had to […]
Geek car stickers
There are some car stickers that are just bad. They’re either dull or perhaps try and broadcast some personal information to the world. However, there are a few car decal stickers – or decals, if you want to use the crafty term – that are ace. Rather than trying to tell the world that pray […]
