Last month Geek Native directed you to a Kickstarter for Zombies Vs Werewolves and asked which side you would back. Turns out that not many of you back either side; the campaign only raised $3,400 of the $7,500 goal. Step forward another challenger – and this time they need to raise an incredible $45,000 in […]

The Guild: I’m the One That’s Cool
Hurrah! Felicia Day and the rest of The Guild are back with a new music video. “I’m the One That’s Cool” seems to sum up the growing acceptance that geek is the new cool. As I overheard recently; “the geek will inherit the earth”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFhgupR565Q Yup. There’s a shout out to Magic: The Gathering. Cosplay, […]
Tales from Wilderland: Dangerous Business
Cubicle 7 have released a video trailer for their forthcoming The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild collection. Tales from Wilderland is an anthology with a set of linked adventures. Penned by Gareth Hanrahan, Tales from Wilderland is a 160-paged softback due out in May or June and available for pre-order already.
Alignment Chart: Game of Thrones edition
Alignment charts seem to be an evergreen source of discussion among D&D savvy geeks. Here’s one for Game of Thrones. I think it’s fair to say it’s based off the HBO styling of the characters as, in this blogger’s opinion, Varys seems a little kinder in the show in the book and Sansa less annoying. […]
Existential Crisis D&D is not DnD Next
I’m pleased to say that this blogger’s gaming groups have always talked through any change of game mechanics or change of game before the gamers turn up. In this video, I think that’s Jon’s biggest mistake. Shouldn’t ambush the players like this. This video has been out for a few days. Thankfully, in that time […]
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse trailer
Muv-Luv is an odd name for an anime – but it has an odd background. As the title hints at Muv-Luv was actually originally an adult RPG. It was a storytelling, option picking, visual story of a game. However, after 2003 the adult elements were taken out and it was resold for both the PC […]
The Total Recall trailer lands
The trailer for Total Recall has landed and it looks pretty good. Based on the short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K Dick and starting Colin Farrell has Douglas Quaid a factory worker who has had his memory messed with the movie tells a story about a dystopian future. Co-stars […]
Avengers trailer: We have a Hulk
This is my favourite trailer for the Avengers yet. We see both Nick Fury and Tony Stark talking to Loki. Stark oozes his usual bullish charm. He runs through the Avengers – two master assassins (an interesting way, I think, to refer to Hawkeye and to admit on Black Widow), a super solider and a […]
A Doug Rattmann movie – Aperture: Lab Ratt
Doug Rattmann, aka Ratman, is an interesting character from Portal mythos. He helped save Chell. Rattmann was a scientist for Aperture and worked on the project – although it’s believed he never worked directly on GLADoS and, in fact, argued against trusting her. He is the one responsible for “The cake is a lie” warning. […]
Dalek Relaxation Tape
This “relaxation tape” featued on Peter Serafinowicz‘s final show on BBC 6 Music. It was the last of a set of 6 shows that ran from February this year. Serafinowicz is more than just radio host, though, he is the voice actor for Darth Maul in Star Wars, Pete from Shaun of the Dead and […]
