The Iron Man 2 Trailer Is Online and My Jaw Is on the Floor [Movies]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 17th, 2009
Pepper Potts is smooching with Iron Man's helmet, a crazy guy is waving even crazier whips, and things are going boom-Boom-BOOM! I don't think I could get any more excited for this movie nor can May 2010 come soon enough.
Hit up the link for the trailer in all its HD glory and tell me that you didn't drool a little bit too. [Apple —Thanks, Marco!]
First Iron Man 2 Poster: Ker- Boom [Iron Man 2]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 30th, 2009
Ho. Lee. Crap. The first (real) teaser trailer's coming in December, but after seeing this poster, I don't know if I can't wait that long. And yes, I know tomorrow is December. [Yahoo via Ain't It Cool]
Caffe Inn: The Espresso Machine That’s Right at Home On Tony Stark’s Chest [Espresso]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on October 25th, 2009
Who knew that the real power source driving Iron Man onward and upward into the stratosphere was really just a strong, trendy espresso machine?
Designed by Frenchman Charles Teyssier, the "Caffe Inn" concept is purely aesthetic, offering little in the way of improvements on the tried and true espresso machine formula. It does, however, remind me of Iron Man, and that's enough. [Design Blog]
Iron Man Quits Hero Biz, Takes Up Apprenticeship as Nutcracker [Nutcrackers]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on October 13th, 2009
When Tony Stark finds himself reasonably satisfied with thwarting evil, he'll kick back and casually deploy his suit's intended functionality—namely, cracking nuts. Make grandma cry at your pagan ways this holiday season for only $30. [NerdApproved via EntertainmentEarth]
Buy Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor for $150 [Iron Man]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on September 24th, 2009
This Arc Reactor is just a replica, so it won't allow you to power a bionic suit that flies around and punches through walls. It will, however, make your desk that much more dorky. And that's something. [Museum Replicas]
HAL Robo-Suit Exoskeleton Hits the Streets of Tokyo [Exoskeletons]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on September 10th, 2009
Remember that HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) exoskeleton from the real-life Cyberdyne? Ahead of plans to rent the suit to those with mobility issues (or Iron Man fantasies), it's now being tested on the streets of Tokyo. Here's the video:
The full suit comes in three sizes, with the largest weighing 50lbs (though it seems you don't notice that when you're wearing it). It now looks like single and two leg versions will rent for about $1570 and $2300 per month.
Despite the tests, Cyberdyne still won't say when the HAL suit will reach the greater public. Check out the vid, the future looks super strange. [HPlus Magazine]
Iron Man 2 Leaked Footage Sets My Pants On Fire [Iron Man 2]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on August 9th, 2009
Holy Geezuss-roller-blading-in-a-tutu-christ. The next gadget-ridden Iron Man movie looks absolutely amazing. I mean, it would be amazing anyway just by the blinding presence of Pepper Potts alone, but these five minutes of footage have got me by my iron jewels.
Anime Iron Man Would Vaporize Robert Downey Jr. and His Liver’s Ass [Iron Man]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on July 30th, 2009
Of course this Iron Man anime is totally badass—Japan's made cartoons about dudes in robot suits for over 40 years. And of course, Iron Man is blowing up a bunch of other dudes in crazy robot suits.
That bad guy is creepy—like a cross between M. Bison and this dude I saw on the cover of an anime in Blockbuster when I was 5 and gave me nightmares for a while and Guyver.
The show's for the Japanese market by the animation giant Madhouse, so except for Iron Man looking like Iron Man and beating ass, it won't be a whole lot like the all-American Iron Man we know. Still, I seriously hope they consider re-importing it so I don't have to download fansubs.
But uh, don't <a href="even ask what they're doing to Wolverine. It's just better that way. [Topless Robot via Technabob]
