Attack on Titan redone Metal style

August 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Native’s not shared any 331Erock for a while. If you’re a fan you’ll be following already. If you’re not a fan you’ll already know it. That said; this Attack on Titan is worth a listen. Attack on Titan, featured in Irregular Reconnaissance, is an anime doing well in the East and West at once. […]

Dalek cake

August 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is another great geeky cake from Mike’s Amazing Cakes. As birthday cakes go … this one is hard to beat. That’s true of most Daleks, though, they’re hard to beat. The days of defeating them with your coat and a handful of mud are long gone.

Conan the Barbarian: Fury of the Beast diorama

August 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A 1:5 scale diorama – that means it measures 28 inches in height. The diorama shows Conan the Barbarian in battle. It comes with three interchangeable hands so you can arm Conan with either a broadsword, axe or dagger. If I was up against that beast I would hope I had something better than a […]

J.R.R. Tolkien reads the Namárië in Elvish

August 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We know Tolkien as the author of the Lord of the Rings. He was a professor and a linguist. He actually created Elven languages to support Middle Earth. He wanted them to have a certain sound. The poem above is spoken, by Tolkien himself, in the Elbish tongue Quenya. It’s easy to hear the pattern […]

Wizards without Coats: Barbarian

August 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You’ve levelled up and unlocked a new skill. Hurrah! There’s a big difference between reaching the cast “spell” skill and the “spell skill”, though. This blogger needs both and has neither.

Competition: Saints Row IV

August 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

If you wanted you could pick up the 18-rated Saints Row IV: Commaner in Chief edition for the Xbox or the PlayStation 3. I’m told these words apply to it: fun, silly and violent. You could go out and buy one of these copies or you could try and win one here on Geek Native. […]

5 weird things inspired by Game of Thrones

August 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Game of Thrones is no longer a fantasy fiction series recommended by geeks. TV has made it hugely successful. People who’ve never rolled a dice in their life now know about Game of Thrones. So what? This all means that weird things start to happen. Weird ideas take hold. Weird things are made! Don’t believe […]

Nintendo announce the 2DS

August 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nintendo have announced a new handheld console; the Nintendo 2DS. The device, part of the Nintendo 3DS line, allows people to play 3DS games in 2D while enjoying most of the hardware. Why? The 3DS isn’t suitable for younger children as the 3D effects can cause headaches. The 2DS is a more robust, cheaper console […]
