The Geek Native hands on review of the HTC One

April 11, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve bought an HTC One. It wasn’t the one I wanted. I want 64GB in black but it was only possible to pre-order the 32GB. Then HTC announced they didn’t have the black in stock, we’d already suffered through delays, and the email suggested switching to silver and getting a free screen protector. I switched. […]

Monsters and sadness

April 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hatrobot is a gallery created by Chris Bodily. There’s a range of styles and pictures but I think the phrase “monsters and sadness” is one way to sum it up. Many of the illustrations are available on Society6. Everything is Fine Great Firewood Husband The Monitor and the Merimack

Atticus for the Undead review

April 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A zombie shambles into a woman’s apartment. Her body is found later, torn, ripped and with her head missing. Hunter Gamble is the zombie’s lawyer and doesn’t think he is responsible for the crime. This is the set up for Atticus for the Undead. If, like me, the name Atticus immediately makes you think of […]

It’s a trap…

April 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You’d expect this post to feature Admiral Ackbar. He owns “It’s a trap”. What sort of trap, though? That’s the question. This t-shirt even comes with a backstory. The government doesn’t pay very much out in pensions anymore – especially after you’ve just overthrown it. A Mon Calamari needs to eat, needs to earn some […]

What if Aardman Animation made a pair of Batman and Robin models?

April 10, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Aardman are known for classics like Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run. What about Batman? The image above is real and the two models are available for sale from Things From Another World for less than $40.00. I wonder who in DC reached out to Aardman an invited the British studio to redesign the dynamic […]

The movie stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley. Set in 2159 the movie follows an attempt to try and bring equality to the very different worlds […]

These designs are the work of Direct Blinds in the UK. Direct Blinds have actually featured on the site before thanks to these retro gamer fashion blinds. This time around the fashion conscience manufacturer has turned to some of the most iconic spaceships of the geekverse. Who wouldn’t want a Slave One on their bedroom […]
