Iron Man and Wolverine Anime: Sea Captains and Mullets

30. July 2009

We know that the Japanese love mecha. We also know that they love samurai. So what better properties to adapt than Iron Man, and Wolverine in feudal Japan? The Iron Man anime trailer appears to feature a suit that does all kinds of cool done the right way. Save maybe an 1800′s British era sea [...]

Yet Another Review Of Star Trek

Ok, so at this point writing another Star Trek review is white noise. Even more so considering that I loved the movie. In fact we already have one review up on Ars Geek, provided by Mark. However, I was enthralled by the movie enough to provide my two cents.

The History Of Star Wars Video Games

Star Wars has ruled the entertainment galaxy for what seems like forever. Since I've been alive, Star Wars has always been around in some shape or form. Whether it's books, bed sheets, holiday musicals it seems like Star Wars will always be a part of my life. Nothing has really come close to capturing the magic of the original trilogy, but one form of media that has come close is in video games.

What the McG is Happening to My Electronic Murderer?

It is my belief that there are two kinds of Terminator fans. There are the kind that enjoyed the first three films, and eagerly await the next episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and there are those who love the first two, thought the third one was somewhere between bad and mildly decent, and are not very interested in either the Sarah Connor Chronicles or the upcoming Terminator: Salvation. If you fall into a different category, please correct me if I'm wrong.

It’s Mark Hammill’s Birthday! Celebrate with his Star Wars audition tape, Kurt Russell and Cocknocker!

In watching these two videos, I find myself wondering what it would be like to be Mark Hammill and Kurt Russell at the time these were recorded. That's a world where no one had ever heard of Star Wars and Lucas was this guy that made a passable film about cruising around in the 50s.

Crazy guy communes with Aliens for a televised interview. Makes interviewer feel his energy-beam induced chest sweat

I like aliens. I've never met an alien I didn't like actually. Until I saw this guy. He qualifies for both an alien I don't like and the first alien I've ever met, so I guess I've totally struck out. Here's a guy who claims he is channeling aliens via an energy beam directly to his hairy, slightly repugnant sweaty chest. The very same chest he then makes an interviewer feel to confirm the alien-beam sweat.

Call it magic, call it physics, call it a feline ability to move with the best of the stealthy movers - this cat has it.

Here's a very neat video, produced by this fellow who spent 17 years taking a photograph of himself every day and rotating to be in sync with the Earth's rotation around the sun.

So you’re riding your mountain bike down a volcano at 107MPH. What happens when your bike vanishes? This.

Here's Eric Barone, who broke the world record for speed on a mountain bike a few years back. Here he's attempting to do it again by running down the side of a volcano in Nicaragua. His bike was 'specially modified' for this paticular run, which apparently means 'snaps in half'. When he went by the last speed sensor, he was clocked at 107MPH. Catch the video after the jump.

Here's a quick video essay to introduce you to the Strix - a 120mm, terminally guided, top attack mortar projectile. This thing will happily find and destroy it's target, even main battle tanks (MBTs) day or night from up to 7 klicks away. All you need is a standard 120mm mortar!

The Invasion Has Begun: Death Star Spotted Above San Francisco

Initial reports are beginning to leak out of San Francisco that a mysterious object has been seen in the sky, blotting out the stars and staring down ominously at the peaceful inhabitants of The Golden Gate City. An intrepid amateur videographer has posted footage of the mysterious object on Youtube. Star Wars aficionados may recognize the massive moon-like invader as none other than a Death Star - a space station and weapon capable of destroying an entire planet - previously thought to be mere fiction.

I was a huge fan of the tabletop game by GDW when I was in college. We had a whole tourny going with a ladder leading to playoffs and weekly team reports. We even created an in house buy system so winning teams earned money towards better players and more skills.

This may not come as a surprise, but the United States Air Force's fumbling attempt to dominate the internets got axed shortly before it was declared operational. Read more about it over in Wired's blog post.
