This is an interesting effort from Red Stripe (the Jamaican beer people) that seems to be targeted to electronics geeks looking for a “just because we can” style of project. I think it’s rather clever because it hides tech in every day items. I’m very much reminded of this sneaky robot that lived in a […]
Brisk launches Star Wars game for iOS and Android
The drink brand Brisk has launched a Star Wars game for iPhone and Android. The game is hugely tied into their Facebook profile and grows as people take part. I like the catch. Games have had the ability to unlock content before. This is a game and ad so the community has to unlock content […]
Axe’s Anarchy Girls comic book ad campaign
It’s going to be an ad campaign where taking part could get you added to the graphic novel. The novel itself will be drawn as the campaign involves. The crowd, the Axe fans, get to tell the story.

Aubrey Plaza is best known to international audiences, perhaps, as Julie Powers from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In the States she’s known for head deadpan humour as well as the show Parks and Recreation. Her she is in a recent ad for World of Warcraft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV397Ov-w4s
Sony PlayStation pushing insanity
There’s a Video Store in the PlayStation Store where you can buy or rent movies (many in 1080p). I guess the Video Store wanted more attention because they’ve splashed out on some viral hopefuls. That’s why we have these three videos as promotions for the store and their Great Films Fill Rooms site. Stick with […]

Back in November Geek Native was involved in surfacing a mysterious site and asked is big money behind Can You Crack It?. The answer is both yes and no. The mainstream press has now revealed who was actually behind the game; it’s the British spy headquarters GCHQ. The Guardian reveals that Can You Crack It […]
Giant mutant mouse DJs for an animated building
This an ad for Nokia Lumia 800. I’m still trying to talk someone I know into buying one as I suspect it’ll be pretty good. I’m sure WP7 is a much better mobile OS than people fear it is. This is Millbank Tower in London – so I’ll always call it the phone building from […]
Super Mario 3DS TV ad going viral
Are you a fan of Nintendo’s 3DS? It may be the case that the Super Mario 3DS game is the one that helps the challenged handheld to gain some mainstream attention. The TV advert for the game that’s running in the States is going viral on YouTube. At the time of posting the ad has […]
Is big money science behind Can You Crack It?
Gamers are pretty intelligent people. Well, okay, some gamers are. I’m not. I was simply amazed when I read Foldit players took three weeks to solve a retrovirus protein challenge that scientists had struggled with over over ten years. The result? Scientists are now better able to understand some viruses – including HIV. That’s a […]
Dragon takes over a building with projection mapping
Okay, we’ve seen projection mapping before on Geek Native – for example Tron projection mapping, The Gadget Show and Space Invaders as well as Hyundai going all 3D with it. This dragon projection mapping is one of my favourites though – dragon! Okay, it’s an advert but it’s still pretty cool.
