Newbury & Hobbes: The Undying

Robb and Talisa Stark's Marriage Certificate

Geek Native isn’t normally concerned with the dark arts of HR. Normally if there is talk about Human Resources then it’ll probably be for an inventory management RTS. Not this time. This time a marketing stunt by a secure document storage company has caught my eye. I don’t imagine gamers need to use such facilities […]

Girl Genius - a pack of wild mimmoths

Mimmoths are small, tiny even, mouse-sized creatures that scamper around the world of Phil and Kaja Foglio’s Girl Genius world. While Girl Genius started out as a comic book, I’ve not read any, I’ve only read some of the novels like Agatha H and the Airship City and Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess so […]
