Pathfinder RPG becomes a comic book
Paizo Publishing have granted Dynamite Entertainment a license to create and publish a Pathfinder comic book. As Paizo is quick to point out; Pathfinder is now tied with Dungeons & Dragons as the best-selling hobby RPG. It was first published in 2009. Dynamite is a little older, founded in 2004, it now has a range of […]
Interview with Brian Wood of Awesome Dice
Brian Wood runs Awesome Dice shop and accompanying blog. Selling die online is surprisingly competitive and there’s a far greater range of options than even some experienced roleplayers might imagine. When Brian dropped Geek Native a note about a rather clever WordPress dice roller I thought it might be wise to get a walkthrough from the man himself.
Pingu does The Thing
When I write that Pingu does The Thing – I mean that he remakes John Carpenter’s The Thing. I’m sure Pingu can do many things. Pingu, of course, is an animated putty penguin. John Carpenter’s The Thing is a classic, important but rather gory horror encounter. In fact, The Thing’s gore only sometimes creeps into […]
Beez Entertainment to close?
“BEEZ no longer exists,” says a post on the French site Forum Gundam after Google Translate has had a bash at the text.

The latest twist is TechRadarDeals which looks to tap into the discount culture that grew to dangerous size in 2011. We’re promised lots of 50% and more discounts from the site but only one at a time. In fact, there’s even a count down timer for how long the deal is valid for.
Skyrim themes goes classical
Jason uses an acoustic violin, along with an electric one and a clever use of drums in order to remaster Jeremy Soule’s Skyrim theme. Impressive stuff.
Malukah’s amazing Skyrim vocals
Two very impressive and wonderfully sung Skyrim covers; The Dragonborn Comes and Age of Oppression.
Bandai Entertainment shutters all new anime
This is gloomy news. Bandai Entertainment will make no more new anime or manga as of next month. This also means that Gosick, Nichijo and Turn a Gundam are cancelled from the anime range and Code Geass: Renya, Gurren Lagann v7, Lucky Star Boo Boo Kagaboo, Mobile Suit Gundam 001 and Tales of the Abyss: […]
