Donald Faison plays Turk in Scrubs. I think he’s in Skyline too. Turns out he’s a bit a geek, perhaps even a geek native, at the very least he’s a Star Wars fan. Faison wrote, directed, edited and, get this, animated this entire Lego Star Wars movie. It’s nearly 3 minutes long. In it the […]
Halo Grunts made from LEGO
I think the Grunts in Halo are kinda cute. Sure, they’re often trying to shoot you and they can get in the way when you’re in a gun fight with something serious – but they’re funny. When they run a way they’re really funny. If you’re a PS3 fan and haven’t played Halo at all […]
A south pointing chariot made from Lego
The South Pointing Chariot is a wonder of engineering from ancient China. Legend suggests it was invented by the Yellow Emperor arround 2600 BC (though it probably wasn’t!). The south pointing chariot has an arm which always points south. THis isn’t a compass. This is done entirely through gears, getting the radio and track right. […]
Impressive LEGO Terminator
Not much to say about this except Martin Latta‘s status as a geek native will rocket through the roof as blogs go nuts about his impressive Lego Terminator build. There’s plenty of photos of the lego killing machine from the future on his Flickr account but just to prove how impressive it is I’ve included […]
LEGO Black Ops
Here’s a great example of just how powerful the LEGO community has become. It’s also vindication that Keshen8‘s Lego Black Ops is really freaking good. I say it proves the worth of the LEGO online community because this video is just a day old and it’s already surged above 30,000 YouTube views. Check it out. […]
Lego – right when it’s wrong
This is a rather cool colletion of ads for Lego. They’ve been produced for Lego Russia but their local advertising agency Leo Burnett. Geek Native has written about Leo Burnett before. You see; there’s a Pokemon clip in which Leo Burnett is exposed as the devil. When James is played backwards the claim is made. […]
Amazing lego anime models
It’s simply amazing what people can build out of Lego. Combine the really healthy online Lego community with the huge anime fan culture and it should come as no surprise that there’s some fantastic cross-over. This quick blog post simply showcases a half dozen lego anime creations. One rule; no Gundams here. There’s no suggestion […]
Omniwheeled and remote controlled lego tank
This mink tank (aka Metal Grudge) is an example of Lego perfection. Not only is this impressive engineering – those omniwheels allow the tank to drive in any direction it wants and perform impressive changes of direction – the video is an impressive feat of photographer. You see, designer Peer Kreger designed camera cars to […]
Lego Phantom Zone
This is cool. Chris Doyle is more than just reasonably clever. He’s a guru of Lego design and smart ideas. The 2D black prison which contained the infamous General Zod from the Superman films in part of geek culture. Surely it deserves to be re-created in Lego? Isn’t Lego such a perfect choice of tool […]
LEGO Wii Remote
Fancy building your own Wii remote? At the very least; do you fancy being able to decorate your own Wii remote? What if I said “Lego”? Interested now? There we have it – after years of increasingly clever Lego computer games (the joys of Lego Star Wars) we now have a $40 LEGO branded Wii […]
