I’m just back from the Filmhouse in Edinburgh and the second ever screening of the season 7 opener, Asylum of the Daleks, for Doctor Who.

At the very start of August, Proporta were kind enough to talk to Geek Native about their Nexus 7 case design process.

Sponsored Video: Nintendo Nostalgia means bags of coins for Mario

August 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ah – the sound of a gold coin being added to Mario’s wallet. It’s gaming culture. It’s right up there with jumping on creature’s heads, avoiding spikes and tracking down Peach.

Behold the Triceratops Tractor!

August 22, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a work of art and a rare Geek Native vehicles post. It’s worth it though as this triceratops tractor is fairly awesome. It’s a work of art and functional at the same time. It’s just what you need to get a parking space or for collecting the hobbits from school. The triceratops tractor […]
