Lena Headey being evil in new Dredd clip

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjh4ljaZ9Rs Lena Headey may have played Sarah Connor in the Chronicles and therefore earned a hefty amount of good guy points. However, she also plays Cersei Lannister in the Game of Thrones TV series and so earns a lot of bad guy points too. There’s no doubt she’s channeling the evil, plotting, Cersei Lannister in […]

Deleted Avengers clip

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNhqVX8RksY This clip was deleted from the film version of The Avengers but will appear on the The Avengers Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and DVD which should be in most shops before Christmas. I like the clip. It shows the conflict Banner has over this identity. Is he the Hulk? If he’s the Hulk then his […]

Reaper Miniatures’ Bones becomes the 10th $1,000,000+ Kickstarter

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The gaming companies are doing so well at Kickstarter. Successes are coming from places that, I safely predict, mainstream press would not have expected and show the size of the RPG community. Reaper Miniatures have just become the 10th company to hit $1,000,000 on Kickstarter. Their campaign, to fun a range of Bones minis has […]

Fringe 5 season promo

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure there’s such a thing as spoilers in Fringe. We know what’s going to happen. We’ve seen it. How much of “how it happens” and “what happens next” that season 5 lets us enjoy isn’t clear. Hopefully they’ll managed to balance those demands and give us the closure we’ll keenly need.

Review: Is the eKit ITAB7STK a good match for the Nexus 7

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m really enjoying my Nexus 7. This is the new and pretty cheap tablet from Google (and Asus). It runs Android and is just 7” in size. This means it’s a put it in your pocket tablet, a read it in bed tablet or have it in front of you on your computer desk. Not […]

Neil Gaiman to appear on Bendito Machine

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bendito Machine began life as an art project, a short film, about the foolishness of human conflict. It’s now a series about simple people who need their machines to survive and who are governed by idiotic big heads who fail to understand how little they know. I was a backer to a failed KickStarter project […]

The headcrab cupcake of certain doom!

August 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve seen some odd cupcakes here on Geek Native over the years. Today, however, Liz from Artistic Aviary makes a play for one of the strangest. This is a bloody headcrab cupcake. Too good to eat? Too scary to eat? Is doom certain? Well, maybe… Via Obvious Winner.

A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion trailer

August 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion is the first movie for the anime A Certain Magical Index and it looks pretty good. Interesting music choice for an anime trailer too.

Matt Forbeck’s Monster Academy

August 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The game designer Matt Forbeck is trying to write 12 books this year. That’s one book a month. He calls the project 12 for Twelve. As I imagine any author would do this year he’s doing a Kickstarter for each project. If you want to back Monster Academy you can do so here. Here’s the […]

Scary and awesome book covers

August 18, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These eyeball creations, book covers and even pictures, are by the Illinois based Abbot Hollow Studios. They sell via their Etsy shop and seem to have that surreal, geeky, different fashion flare that might well interest a GM or two. These come to my attention via Nicole Wakelin at Nerd Approved who spotted Abbots Hollow […]
