The How to Train Your Dragon live dragon is awesome

April 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You may not have known – this blogger didn’t – but there’s a live How to Train Your Dragon stage show. At this point you might be wondering how they do the dragons. They do the dragons very, very well. In fact, this dragon is so awesome it’s hard to believe it’s not a CGI […]

April 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Let’s imagine you were wondering where you can get the exclusive Assassin’s Creed III edition in the UK but yo couldn’t find it anywhere. Or let’s imagine you wanted Heroes of Ruin instead – it’s an RPG from Square Enix, the Final Fantasy people, due out for the 3DS in June. You might be surprised […]

The Avengers (kinda)

April 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Avengers is not yet out here in the UK. Heck – they’re even going to rename our version of the movie to The Avengers Assembled just in case we confuse Thor for Mr Steed and Black Widow for Mrs Peel. What shall we do in the meantime? Why not watch this budget version of […]

Why your old RPG books could be releasing volatile chemicals

April 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video answers the question; “Why do old books smell?”. There are a number of reasons but a key part is due to chemical reactions. It’s a bad idea, for example, to store a piece of newspaper in a book as the acidic paper from the newspaper will damage the book over time. At about […]

This is what happens when geeks design lawn mowers

April 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is not the first time Geek Native has shared videos of industrial machines. We’ve had the machine that knits roads, for example. This video features a number of machines – most of them designed to cut the grass. However, these are geek out grass cutting machines. Each one likely to land a critical hit […]

Leaked pictures from DC’s “New 52: Second Wave”

April 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Take this leak with a pinch of salt. Don’t dismiss the pictures as fake – not that type of salt. Take the fact that this is a “leak” with a pinch of salt. These images come from Buzzfeed, as a sample, where Gavon Laessig straight up admits that the site was invited to take the […]

Stormtroopers parody LMFAO (Everyday I’m Shuffling)

April 22, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You’ve already seen a dozen parodies of Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO and Everyday I’m Shuffling? That can’t be helped. It’s still worthwhile point out the heroic efforts of these humble Stomtroopers in bringing the classic hit back to life.

James Bond, 007, on 3 1/2 drives

April 22, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s no longer enough to create music on floppy disc drives. We’ve seen that. Geek Native has stopped posting floppy music. To get blog cover today your hardware orchestra has to be pretty good. That’s what these 8 floppy drives mange with this classic 007 tune. Bond, be impressed.
