When you’re stressed at work, you might find yourself “goofing off” to ease your frustrations. But when a coworker waltzes in looking for you, what do you do? Quick, hit the Hulk Smash USB button!
newVideoPlayer("hulkstark_gizmodo.flv", 494, 391,""); HRRMMMM. WHAT IS THIS AGAIN? ANOTHER NEW HULK TV TRAILER!? HULK IS TIRED! THIS MOVIE WILL SUCK! Or maybe not, Hulk see again… hrrmmm. Bright light. Door. Chairs. HULK DON’T LIKE GENERAL ROSS! PUNY ROSS AND HIS PUNY TANKS! Oh! WAIT! IS THAT TONY STARK? HULK LIKES TONY STARK AND HIS GREEN MARTINI COCKTAILS AND HIS LITTLE PRETZELS AND RITZ COOKIES! Maybe this movie will not suck after all.
Indiana Jones may be the current talk of the town, but it’s not the only big summer blockbuster worth discussing right now. With Iron Man already out, and Wall-E, The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk still to come, there’s plenty of movie goodness still to be had. Speed Racer ?…let’s not go there.
newVideoPlayer("Hulk_Gloves.flv", 475, 356,""); Clearly super-hero season is full on at this point, and the product is already in stores. Hasbro sent us two pairs of US$20 Hulk Smash electronic action-sensitive talking fists. These are different from the old ones because a) they’re made by Hasbro, not Toy Biz b) are cloth, not foam and c) have one speaker, not two. We still have to wait a little over a month for the Hulk movie, though, provided Ed Norton doesn’t chain himself to the outgoing prints to keep the world from seeing it. (Yep, that slow-mo comes from the beloved Casio EX-F1.) [Video by Nick McGlynn Hasbro]
Remember “Operation,” that buzzing fishing-for-organs game we played with as kids? Well, Hulk fans will soon be able to dig around inside their hero with a pair of electrified tweezers too, when Hasbro brings out their Hulk-themed version. Clumsy surgical action will make his eyes glow green and he’ll howl apparently. What do you think of that, Hulk? HULK WARN YOU, ANESTHETIC BETTER BE REAL STRONG!
With the new movie on its way to theatres, this seemed like the perfect time to look at some seriously Hulk-sized gadgets. Or, more specifically, everyday items that have been bigified way past the point of absurdity. I can almost hear the entire state of Texas flipping out. galleryPost('giantgadgets', 10, '');
newVideoPlayer("hulk_defamer.flv", 475, 376,""); WHAT IS THIS? HULK NEW MOVIE TRAILER? OK, let’s see… Uhmmm… Not bad. Hulk likes Ed Norton. BUT HULK HATES BANNER! BANNER IS A PUN*oh, there’s Liv. Mmmm… HULK LOVES LIV! OK. More things. Yoga? Wait, WHAT’S THIS PUNY ZEN STUFF! AND WHY BANNER FALLS FROM HELICOPTER!? WHAT? HULK DOESN’T HAVE THAT HIPPIE HAIR! HULK DOESN’T LIKE STUPID TRAILER! WHO DO THEY THINK HULK IS? RINGO STARR? UHMMM… Hulk likes Ringo though. He’s nice. And sings like Kermit. And Kermit is green. AND HULK LIKES GREEN! BUT WHO IS THIS BIG GUY? HULK IS CONFUSED! MAYBE HE LIKES TRAILER AFTER ALL! What do you think?
HULK LIKES TO SAVE MONEY! MONEY IS GREEN! HULK IS GREEN! HULK LIKES GREEN! YOU KNOW KERMIT? GREAT FRIEND OF HULK! PUNY BANNER DOESN’T SAVE MONEY! HE SPENDS IT ALL ON NEW PANTS! LIKE JASON CHEN! HULK DOESN’T LIKE PUNY BANNER! HMMMM, HULK LIKES JASON CHEN THOUGH! EXCEPT WHEN HE WEARS BATMAN PYJAMAS! BUT HULK WILL GIVE HIM THIS HULK MONEY BANK ANYWAY! (Editor’s Note: it is going to be released at Toy Fair 2008, as merchandising for the next Edward Norton’s Hulk movie which, sadly, won’t include Lou Ferrigno. — JD) WHO IS TALKING? WHO IS LOU FERRIGNO? WHO IS THE EDITOR? HULK HATES EDITOR! HE SPENDS ALL MONEY IN DRINKS AND GOING OUT! HULK SMASHES EDITOR! [Superhero Flix]
It may have taken 14 months to complete, but I think you will agree that the gargantuan effort put forth on this Hulk PC Mod is readily apparent. This is in addition to the fact that it takes a tremendous amount of creative vision to attempt a caseless mod with a 13-inch poseable Hulk figure and a micro ATX motherboard. Plus it gets mad points for theatrics. [Fusion Mods]
