If, like this geek, you watch British TV then you may have seen the new Currys and PC World ad that features the always cute R2-D2 and C-3PO. If C-3PO sounds an awful lot like the “original” C-3PO then that’s because it is. It’s Anthony Daniels doing the voice. The ad features a website called […]
Q-Workshop dice elves go on strike
It’s hard to stand out in the competitive world of dice selling and manufacturing. However, Polish based Q-Workshop are trying to do just that. For a start, they are a successful company. It might not be brand you’re familiar with but they’ve won awards you will have heard of. For another, they use worker elves […]
56 Sage Street – the computer game the bank wants you to play
56 Sage Street is a free to play online game. In it you start off with someone who has nothing – well, who has £4 in their pocket – and who aspires to the fortunes of the millionaire Mr C. Mr C, in case you hadn’t guessed, lives at 56 Sage Street. This free game is single player and […]
Samsung SD cards in animal testing shocker
Samsung are having a go at proving how tough and robust their SD cards are. In one viral video they’ve even resorted to animal testing. Ha! Okay; so not that sort of animal testing – cute puppies being allowed to try and death-lick the SD card. There’s a shark too. And a flamethrower. What did […]
Zombie arms invade Madrid
Fear not. This is an advert for Resident Evil: Afterlife. I must admit. I do have to wonder how on earth they got permission for this. Maybe they could simply get the street space from the council in an art/cash deal. What about the local shop window? What about the local bus? Was that just […]
Super Shogun Stormtrooper
What’s not to like about Super7’s “lost” Star Wars ad from the 70s. Don’t you remember this Super Shogun Stormtrooper appearing in the original Star Wars? That’s because it’s a limited edition. The advert has worked because I’ve now heard of Super7. I hadn’t before. I’ve tried clicking on their “About us” (using Google Chrome) […]
Sumo Science at Aardman create world’s smallest stop-motion
Sumo Science (these people) are an animation house and they’ve landed a sweet gig from Nokia that’s allowed them to film the world’s smallest stop-motion animation. The team from Sumo made the film “at Aardman”. I suppose that could be a bit like saying a movie was filmed at Pinewood Studios; a way to attach […]
Mii slaying PlayStation Move ad
I don’t think it’s too hard to guess that PlayStation have the Wii in their targets for the PlayStation Move launch. It makes sense. They don’t want to compare the accessory to Kinect. They want it compared to the Wii. Even if the tactics make sense is it still not possible they’ll take the head-to-head […]
Mega unboxing: Looking inside the Halo Reach Legendary Edition
The Halo Reach Legendary Edition arrived, on time, at the humble flat and Rainbow One took many pictures of the unboxing. It’s a very large box. The controller game in a separate delivery! Not yet decided where/if we can put the models. They may need to be returned to the box. However, the initial impressions are “wow” […]
Lundgren vs. Unicorn
I promise. This is not “pick a fight with Unicorn” day here at Geek Native. It just so happens that we’ve already seen zombies vs unicorns. Now we’ve got Dolph Lungren vs Unicorn. A very small unicorn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L70I0vTwYxg I know. I know. You have to ignore the fact this is an advert for Norton before […]
