Dino Pets; blurring the line between plants and animals

August 24, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Back this Campaign] This isn’t a Kickstarter you normally see on Geek Native. It’s art. It’s biology. It’s not a game, anyway, but it’s certainly geeky and I think it passes the test of “would a gamer be interested in this?” I can imagine a little dinosaur pet glowing away when the lights dim for […]

On Geek X Girls she said; “This is my female Predator costume, I made pretty much everything you see in the photos including the mask, minus the backdrops.

The Settlers of Catan go to the Mountains of Madness

August 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fancy having a Mountains of Madness-themed set of Settlers of Catan? Frankly, this is a wonderful idea. A perfect idea. The dark whispers in my soul tell me so. Part six in the “Cultists of R’lyeh” series from MRX Designs shows us the way to awakening. Glue-guns and foam help transform the famous game into […]

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game trailer

August 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The LEGO computer games have been a big hit. We’ve had LEGO Marvel boxsets and so a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes computer game makes a lot of sense. This is a chunky trailer, over 2 minutes long, but it’s worth a watch. There’s a plot which echoes The Chronicles of Doom and the Marvel Heroes […]

August 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m talking about the artists who sculpt decent models and who give a crap about accuracy. Yes? This video is for you. Filmed by Anthony Ladesich, The Secret Story of Toys has […]
