http://vimeo.com/67596206 Now and then Geek Native will bring you a love story. In Orbitas two sides are busy destroying the planet. We’ve seen this before. Nukes, propaganda and badly staffed space stations. Over time, though, the two astronauts from the rival sides begin to grow fond of one another. The animation is by Jaime Maestro […]

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor will make you look twice
It’s quite hard to watch this trailer for Warlords of Draenor and not reconsider the humble orc. In this extension to World of Warcraft players have to deal with Garrosh Hellscream who has escaped through the Dark Portal and forged the orc clans into a single Iron Horde. The launch date is now set at […]
Geek cute overload with that Groot [spoilers]
The internet is filling up with people making different Groots. Those of us who have seen Guardians of the Galaxy know why. Those of us who are yet to see the film will be finding it harder and harder to avoid the spoilers. This is my favourite so far. Shared to imgur with only “My […]
Dazzling portraits of some of Marvel’s finest heroes
Jebedai Couture is a Deviant Artist and a freelance comics illustrator. This series of Marvel characters represents Jebedai’s best.

They may be robots but they feel very human. The short film is just a teaser. It certainly sets us up for a lot more action. Bonnie is played by Sara […]
29 Disney characters transform into fashionable steampunks
This collection of Disney characters is impressive. There’s so many of them that have undergone Mecainque Fairy’s fantastic steampunk transformation. Mecainque Fairy is a deviant artist who’s going straight into my watch list. It’s also worth checking out her Tumblr where you’ll notice no shortage of sensible pro-woman, pro-body and pro-sexuality posts.
