Iron Man and Wolverine Anime Coming in 2010: the Wolverine One’S Looking Very Japanese Already

Topless Robot posted the trailers for the upcoming Iron Man and Wolverine anime. According to Mania, both features will be shown on Animax in spring 2010. Both of them will be produced by super studio Madhouse, responsible for classics like Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Trigun, Millennium Actress, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Hajime no Ippo and many other awesome stuff that I want to watch again.

So yeah, here’s the Iron Man trailer:

The evil dude’s transformation was awesome. He looks a bit like Guyver. Mmmm Iron Man vs. Guyver. And here’s the not so awesome Wolverine trailer:

So many things went wrong. So many things. The anime is supposedly an expanded version – that’s one way of putting it – of a 1980s Wolverine vs. ninjas storyline by Chris Claremont. Details which are now moot because of that trailer. It could be the tale of a power balladeer ninja for all I care.

Homemade Video Game Weapons: Keepin’ It Real Geeky

I love the new Gamespy. Who else loves the new Gamespy! Before they were just another video game site, with previews, reviews, and tons of ads, except that they had Flintlocke. But now they have so much more to offer. And Flintlocke is still there,still stupid, and still funny. I just wish they had a back button or something, to make it easier for viewers to peruse the annals of their awesomeness. That being said, here’s something from one of their more awesome original content, a list made by Robert Brockway about the real life versions of video game weapons, and the imaginative (some might say insane) geeks behind them.

That’s Wolverine claws guy. Are there any self-respecting geeks out there who can honestly say that they never wondered what it would be like to have Wolverine’s claws? Are there any self-respecting geeks out there? I’m just kidding, but Wolverine claws guy isn’t. He’s out for blood. Cardboard box blood.

Here’s my favorite on the list, a real-life Buster Sword. Watch the video and then think of how Cloud just twirls the goddamned thing around after every battle. Cloud be strong.

You have to love the dissonance between the music and the action on screen. Head on over to Gamespy for the rest of the article, which also features a real-life rifle lancer from Gears of War. Yes, it’s a real,working rifle with a real, working chainsaw attached to it, a combination akin to “stapling a shark to a bear.”

Wolverine Media Player Gets Massive 160gb Hard Drive

Like the idea of a portable media player, but want to bring your entire collection of music AND videos on the road? Most players top out around 60 to 80GB of storage, which isn’t enough for a tremendous amount of video content.

Enter the Wolverine ESP 5160, a media player that packs a gigantic 160GB hard drive in a portable package. To put it in plain English, the player can store up to 320 hours of standard definition video, or about 50,000 songs.

It can play back a wide variety of audio formats including MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, AAC and CDA. Video playback includes support for MPEG-1, MPEG-4, WMV9 and Xvid files. The player also features a built-in FM radio with program recording, and video/audio outputs to connect to a TV or other external display device. The player’s 3.6-inch LCD color screen offers 320×240 resolution, which should be enough for decent video quality at that size.

An optional docking cradle ($69) adds the ability to record video directly from a TV tuner, DVD player or other video source. It even offers a timer option (
