This Halloween you’ll find dozens of blogs posting geeky Halloween carvings. It has to be done. Some of these pumpkin creations are fantastic and analytics show just how popular these posts are. It’s very risky but this year Geek Native wanted to do something different. A single post. A super mega awesome geeky Halloween pumpking […]
The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild RPG review
The One Ring RPG is the latest Lord of the Rings roleplaying games. My main aspiration when I bought the game, buying it as a pre-order, was that it felt like Lord of the Rings. I think we all have our own take on Lord of the Rings. We now even have a generation of […]
First Pictures: The One Ring RPG
The One Ring is a new RPG for the Lord of the Rings series that’s coming our way via Sophisticated Games and Cubicle 7. Sophisticated Games will handle the board game side of things and the well-connected Cubicle 7 will be handling the RPG. The first pictures of the RPG, due out in August, are […]
The Lord of the Rings movie with War in the North trailer
This is why many people will give the LoTR RPG a go. This trailer for the game is a mashup with the Lord of the Rings movies along with War in the North gameplay. Two thumbs up to the skillful blending of the two. I think the official word to describe this trailer is “touchpoints” […]

This picture shows the first of the Dwarves in the forthcoming The Hobbit movie. Pictured here are Nori, Ori and Dori. Nori is played by Jed Brophy, Ori by Adam Brown and Dori by Mark Hadlow. I remember these guys well. We’re along way off from getting our eyes on The Hobbit. What does your […]
Geeksplode: Adam Savage sings I Will Survive as Gollum
Boom! That’s the sound of my geek dna exploding in an overdrive of geek charged geekiness. Awesome. Awesome. Do you have a better word for it? Oh. Yeah; that is Neil Gaiman as one of the radio hosts. It’s such an appropriate song for Gollum to be singing. Clever Gollum, clever.
R’lyeh removed from Google Maps; some geek alternatives
It was once possible to find R’lyth, the home and resting place of Cthulhu, on Google Maps and on Google Earth. The video at the end of this post acts as evidence. Today it’s not possible to find R’lyeh on either of those two properties. Aww, shucks, Google. I hope you had good reason for […]
War in the North: Beleram
I’ve given War in the North plenty of coverage on Geek Native because it’s a Lord of the Rings game. The one franchise to rule them all. There’s been a common theme; heroes get in big strike, wonderful giant eagle swoops in and saves them. I was wondering whether this was a “call in an […]
Van Sauron
Just when you think you’ve seen the one mashup that rules them all, another mashup pops up to take your breath away. Step forward to this Lord of the Rings meets high art mashup. Van Gogh’s Starry Night meets Peter Jackson’s Sauron. I call it Van Sauron. Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” Imagine a […]
War in the North – E3’s Lord of the Rings trailer
E3 is shaping up to be a cracker. We can execpt lots of good announcements and a host of teasers. Warner Bros and Snowblind have their “action RPG” for Lord of the Rings nearly ready and so we can predict we’ll get an extended trailer for War in the North. What do we have right […]
