Yeah, I know. This little bad ass Iron Man 2 poster dropped last week, but I can’t help but cover EVERYTHING and anything related to Jon Faverau’s upcoming Iron Man sequel. Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash gets the Iron Man 2 poster treatment this time around. It is hard to say whether I like the Whiplash character cause I am basing my opinion based on the small tidbits that I saw in the trailer. Whiplash gets his hands on the mini-arc reactor technology that Tony Stark utilizes to power his Iron Man suit and creates….. electric whips. Right… Either way, I trust Jon Faverau’s ability to tell stories and develop characters so I am pretty sure Whiplash will turn out to be a hard ass. Enjoy!
Dennis “D-Man” Vazquez of Pit Stop Motorsports designed and fabricated a custom Predator motorcycle. Built off a 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa, this crotch rocket got all the fixin’s to become an ultimate Predator bike. Every inch of this bike screams Predator as D-Man puts some amazing custom fabrications on the Hayabusa such as a un-masked Predator’s face for the fairing, custom detailed gas tank, and more. Nothing was left out of this amazing bike. The Predator’s signature weapons such as the plasma caster (shoulder cannon), medikit, and shuriken were incorporated into this bike. It even has Predator’s trophies of one of his prized kills on the side of the fairing. The bloody skull is still attached to its spinal cord and smothered in brain matter and flesh. The Predator motorbike is definitely amazing and gruesome. Great job to the D-Man and the Pit Stop Motorsports team.
Good gawd… I haven’t watched Smallville in a couple years now (since the whole Lana marries Lex fiasco), and I’m not sure I’m ready to jump into Smallville once again. Even with the introduction of Justice Society of America. As many of you know, Hawkman will be dropping into Kansas next year for a two episode story arc called “Absolute Justice”. The earlier glimpse into the costume shows that unlike the majority of Smallville’s renditions of the DC Universe heroes and villains, Smallville’s Hawkman will be staying pretty close to his comic counterpart. Apparently, more will be joining Hawkman in Kansas in the upcoming episode. Alongside Hawkman will be Dr. Fate and Stargirl. Based on the “first look” images from Splashpage, Dr. Fate and Stargirl are pretty close to what they look like in the comics. They also look like they belong on the Power Rangers. Will I be sacrificing a hour of my life to check out “Absolute Justice”? HELL YES I will. Not because I have hopes that it will be great or anything. I just like seeing people in rubber suits makin’ an ass out of themselves.
iGT had the pleasure of featuringVolpin Props‘ incredible work in the past, and it is exciting to be able to feature more of Harrison Krix’s (the founder and excellent craftsmen of Volpin Props) work. This time around, Harrison took on the feat of creating a monstrous costume of Big Daddy from 2k Games‘ BioShock. On top of that feat, he fabricated Little Sister’s ADAM syringe as well. Harrison premiered his great cosplay at Dragon Con 2009. This amazing project took over 7 weeks for Harrison to design and fabricate and it took just as long to convince the Georgia Aquarium to allow his to do a photo shoot of his costume. Harrison’s hard work and constant communication with the aquarium paid off. With the services of photographer Matthew Nicholson of Dim Horizon Studios, Harrison’s BioShock cosplay gets the amazing spotlight it deserves. Amazing.
Hit the jump to check out some of the great collections of photos from the photoshoot and information on how Harrison made it!
What the hell is going on here!? OK, I admit I missed that hologram thing on CNN, so I had only heard of this kind of technology. Knowing nothing about it, I’m left with a few questions:
Why did the blue claymation girl run over the red claymation guy with a train?
Can I use my Samsung notebook to do that?
Would it be possible to play games like that?
Who is John Gault?
A quick Wikipedia search solved the John Gault problem, but the rest of my questions remain unanswered. Here’s hoping for the gaming industry to embrace this kind of technology. Though I do hope they don’t intend on running any of us over with trains.
