Tesco accidentally sells new iPads for less than £50
The largest retailer in the UK accidentally put the new iPad on their webstore with a price tag of less than £50. At the time of posting, the super cheap new iPads are still online but a helpful Twitter user has tweeted the supermarket to point out their mistake. We’ll have to see whether they’ll […]
A trick of the lights – Tron dance?

Death Star spotted over Copenhagen
This is a video worth 60 seconds of your time. You don’t need sound but it’s better with it. The video shows the Death Star appearing over Copenhagens. It’s not quite “found film footage” but it has that feel to it. Okay; it’s also a clever advert for the Dutch arm of ToysRUs. Don’t mind […]

Surprisingly, this is at least the third monster rug post on Geek Native. Who knew that household fashion was so close to geek culture? This, slightly cute, monster rug comes via Longo Land and will set you back a lot less than $3,000. In fact, it’s $500 less than $3,000. How’s that for a good […]
Zombie laptop case for very scary GMs
If you insist on being an evil GM and want to reinforce that by making some early, impactful, impressions on your gaming group then look to your laptop case. A laptop case does not have to be bland. A laptop case can be decorative and it can give your players a clue as to what […]
