We’re all used to amazing special effects now and computer-generated awesomeness on the big and small screens. That doesn’t stop the pen and paper approach having a unique magic of its very own. A marketing campaign by Angies List, a site that wants you to get in contact with architects, is using the magic of […]
5 examples of death by paperwork
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 […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #8 Sons of the Harpy
This Halloween will you stand against The Mother of Dragons? Good luck to you. That said… I think this Sons of the Harpy mask from Costume Supercenter is a great idea for a costume. Anything Game of Thrones related is likely to be recognised and go down well at parties. We had a White Walker […]
Only 100 available – IWOOT’s Game of Thrones Monopoly
Last week Geek Native noticed that Hawkin’s was running out of Pokemon Monopoly. We joked about how many different types of Monopoly there are now and suggested Rule 231. If there’s a franchise that’s still going and older than 5 years then there’s probably a Monopoly version. Step up Game of Thrones Monopoly. UK retailer, […]
Game of Thrones: The Night King riding Viserion Pop
Wow! Just wow! How’s this for a Pop! figure? We’ve Game of Thrones’ Night King riding Viserion into battle! [Yikes! Gimme me!] This Pop is currently slated for January 2018 but I think we can expect it to sell out. Pre-orders will be needed. I had a look around to see if anywhere can do […]

What about becoming a White Walker? Geek Native has four pop-up books from Steve Wintercroft, the author and […]
Prototype deadly Game of Thrones blinds (spoilers!)
I don’t normally care for Venetian Blinds. They remind me of paper-pushing offices. These Game of Thrones blinds from Made to Measure Blinds are different. Spoiler alert! These blinds show the deadly peril that some of favourite (or love to hate) GoT characters have run into. Ned Stark Joffrey Lannister Oberyn Martell Robb Stark Hodor
Game of Thrones: fan theories that have gone the distance
Like it or not, the sense that GoT is building to a crescendo as it nears its final few seasons is growing pretty much by the episode these days. We’re now officially ahead of where the books ever took us up to, and so there’s something of a teetering inevitability to the idea that the […]
12 Masks of Halloween: #11 White Walker Mask
Okay, Amazon don’t describe this mask as a ‘white walker’. They call it a ‘white undead ice zombie’ but if it reminds you of Game of Thrones then it reminds me of Game of Thrones too. This mask has had a half-dozen of reviews, at the time of posting, and all 5-stars. Makes me wonder […]
The children of Game of Thrones
In Game of Thrones we’re following the aftermath of the war fought by the fathers of noble and common families involved. The Game of Thrones is played by the surviving children. What would the children of some of our favourite Game of Thrones characters be like? If Jon Snow and Daenerys had a daughter what […]
