Ready yourself for bold character art by Nikonov Aleksandr

August 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nikonov Aleksandr is a Russian artist and illustrator. He’s worked on projects for World of Warcraft and other geeky titles. In June Geek Native shared his Lady Tron as a Grim Reaper. The picture divided opinion. Some liked the mashup, others liked the powerful figure but others pointed out the neon boobs and odd but […]

Groot news from Hot Toys, spoilers too

August 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

This post contains spoilers for those folk who haven’t yet seen Guardians of the Galaxy. You lot must be fed up about the geek web banging on and on about the film. Hopefully that’s not the reason you finally go to see it. The risk of spoilers means you should go read the next post […]

Right on! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle slushies

August 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The nerdy bartender is Stacey Roy who, with RP WhaBam, has featured on Geek Native before. We usually see Stacey mixing cosplay with drama and some great special effects. The nerdy bartender is a new direction for the channel and I rather like it. In this video, while wearing a TNMT top, Roy shows off […]

Twisty: A review of Eureka Seven the Movie

August 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Don’t copy me. I’ve done it wrong. My first encounter with the franchise was with the spin off series Eureka Seven AO. Like many anime fans I’m used to jumping into the deep end of plot. While I enjoyed, mainly, Eureka Seven AO I was frustrated I couldn’t quite tie back to previous events, didn’t […]

D&D 5e: Warlock Class

August 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The Warlock Class has been out for a while, just hidden in Boing Boing‘s own Wizards of the Coast gifted exclusive collection D&D goodies. The warlock is illustrated by Rob Rey. Some geek native readers suggest the class is under powered. What do you think? Previously in the teaser release series we’ve had Supporting roles […]

Strangely cute, cleverly designed LEGO minifig mecha

August 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These LEGO constructs are just the right size for minifigs and look incredible. They’re curved where you would not think curves possible, they’re detailed at a surprising level and have been built with an impressive eye for detail. I can’t decide though; are these scary mechas or cute? These mecha designs are the work of […]

The cutest battle manuals for deadly games

August 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Happy Little Gaming books by Joey Spiotto are an imaginary line with some great covers. Right now you can pop over to G1988 and check out his work and buy some of the new prints. The designs shown here are less exclusive on on sale from his Etsy Store. I think the Happy Little […]

Poster: Mad Max – Fury Road

August 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This poster from Maxime Crouzet at La Fabrique de Posters isn’t official Mad Max: Fury Road art but maybe it should be. I like the contrast of colours and the minimalist look. Fury Road is the name of the upcoming Mad Max film. Here’s the latest trailer for the post-apocalyptic thriller.

Beyond 8-bit; an evolution of video game music as a surprising acapella

August 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Okay, I’ll admit. I’ve seen plenty of Mario and Sonic acapellas now. It’ll take a little bit more than that to earn a blog post these days. Step forward Triforce Films. This isn’t just an acapella (with a touch of cosplay). This is a tour through the evolution of computer game music and that means […]
