Impressive ogre costume

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure whether to file this as LARP or cosplay. This ogre costume was created for Halloween and resulted in many prizes for “best costume”. The orgre was created by 6’2″ Scott Carreras who has it on sale at etsy for $2,000 and he reckons a smaller person could wear the suit – but […]

A zombie snuggie

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, so the description doesn’t use the word “snuggie”. I suspect that’s a copyright term now. Snuggler blanket is used instead. That doesn’t seem to do justice though. That doesn’t give the impression of shambling around the flat like a zombie. Fall asleep in this bad boy and people will know better to wake you […]

Gotham City cake

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This tasty looking gothic cake is the hard work of Bite Me Bakery. The British bakers have crafted a Gotham City cake complete with brooding Dark Knight.

Magic: The Gathering “Ignite Your Spark” art

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Back in March Geek Native featured the Magic: The Gathering trailer for 2014 that made its debut for PAX East. It’s a firey one. The character featured in Chandra Nalaar. Over at CGHub we can sample the art by Brad Rigney (aka Crypt Crawler) for Chandra.

Eponymous review

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Eponymous is a comic book from Mike Garley with art from Martin Simmonds and Letters by Mike Stock. I’d actually encountered the comic series before as it features in VS Comics #1 and other editions. VS is really strong and Eponymous was one of the many titles in the collection that I knew would be […]

Cthulhu ceramic crockery

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

These rather odd teapots, vases and cups are the creation of Mary O’Malley and for sale at Etsy. The collection is inspired by underwater creatures. It’s the gamer in me who takes one look at these tentacles, nods to himself and thinks; “Yup, this is how English Cthulhu cultists might enjoy their tea. Oh, how […]

Video Q&A for the new Space Hulk game

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Danish Full Control are building a multi-platform Space Hulk computer game. The game will have its own level builder. This means you can design Space Hulk challenges for your gaming group on your PC and they can play them around the gaming table on their iPads in the break between your Warhammer 40K night. We’ve […]

Alien cosplay created with just body paint

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I suppose it’s not really cosplay if there’s no costume involved. That said; “cosplay” feels like the best word to describe these body paint transformations created by the deviant artist Tauart. The Russian has used his skills to turn human women into exotic looking aliens. Via Geyser of Awesome.

Doctor Who: Are the Whispermen related to the Trickster?

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 5 Comments

It is expected that the villains in The Name of the Doctor, the season finale, are a group known as the Whisperman (or perhaps Whisper Men, I’ve seen it written both ways). They have a distinct look and feel quite Steven Moffat in style. My first thought was that they reminded me of the Gentlemen […]

Iron Man 3 review

April 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are a few surprises in Iron Man 3. There is always a risk with messing with expectations when it comes to comic book movies but Shane Black and the writing team make it work. I enjoyed Iron Man 3. It’s easily the strongest of the Iron Man sequels. The original retains the title of […]
