Bored teenagers trying a new drug? The name “black sugar” reminded me straight away of “soy sauce” and of John Dies at the End. There is some overlap – and that’s perhaps in a Lovecraftian otherworld sense. This is a really good short film from Hank Friedmann. What starts off feeling like a Steven Spielberg […]

Blood, death and sex: A review of Max Brooks’ Extinction Parade
Yes, but what happens next? This review of Extinction Parade is of the first graphic novel which collects the first five issues of Max Brooks’ (World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide) and Raulo Caceres’ (Crossed) series. Zombies are stupid. They’re slow. They can’t even see vampires. No wonder the lords of the night […]
Short film: Biomorph
This is a film an evil GM shows to players along with the phrase “This is what you see!” Biomorph is a teaser animation project made by students at Danish VFX school in 2013. You can see how the scene demonstrates all sorts of modelling techniques and, I’ve got to say, a clip like this […]
Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded trailer
Game developer Crytek is keeping busy announcing new titles. Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded caught my attention. Whereas it’s not an RPG such and reminds me more of Left4Dead there’s something about the style that appeals. In addition, Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded will be part of Crytek’s “Games-as-a-Service” approach. Normally “as-a-Service” propositions are free […]

Short film: Through the Storm
What would you go through in order to bring you drowned husband back from the eerie land of the dead? Would you take on a Banshee? Would you consider it? This short film from an Irish team was written and directed by Fred Burdy and features Katie McGrath. It’s won a whole lot of awards. […]
Short film: Graffiti Area
Graffiti Area is the third of the Bombay Sapphire’s second Imagination Series films Geek Native has shared. The first was Exit Log, a sci-fi, and the second Reflections that took a sinister twist. Don’t be put off when you see subtitles at the start. This isn’t a dialogue based short. It’s all action. The question […]

Poseidon Rex is a rare type of YouTube video. It has more dislikes than likes and yet the watch count is increasing each day.
