The PS4 Has Officially Landed!!!

I am and always will be an avid fan of Sony's Playstation. I remember playing Crash Bandicoot for the first time on the grey machine of majesty (Yeah, that's what I called it back then!). Fast forward to 2013 and check out the magic they have come up with! The PS4 sounds absolutely amazing, in regards to specs it is the best out so far (Well except PCs; and we don't know anything about the next generation XBOX.) I would love to list out all the specs for you but I really don't need to because our good friends at CNET have laid it all out. Happy Thursday Shinigglers!!!

Foxx is Electric!!!

First of all I would like to apologize for the title, it wasn't my idea....ok it was but I have good reason. So this is OLD news but apparently Jamie Foxx is up for the role of Electro in the upcoming "The Amazing Spiderman 2." I am realizing now that the title is just a mouthful, you would think that while everyone in the superhero film making industry is using Christopher Nolan's Batman films as source material they would follow in its path of not using the same name with a number following. I guess you can take gritty and still keep Sh.... you know what, I am not going to finish that statement.I am actually ecstatic about Foxx being up for the role, he is an amazing actor and would do a great job portraying the villain. I just hope they don't give him some corny back story of being an ex-gang banger, seriously my fingers are crossed. I held back from posting anything about it because I didn't want to jinx it (or I was too lazy, I am not telling). I had to speak up when Marc Webb spoke out and said he is a front runner for the job. Sure that wasn't a direct quote but I like it better that way. I just hope that they don't go the route of the green and yellow outfit and more the bad ass Ultimate Spiderman version of Electro.

Please for the love of Stan Lee don't do this!

Terminator Cheetah!!!

I am constantly ranting about the possibility of Skynet being plausible. I truly believe if we keep creating machines that out perform humans in every way then they will capture and enslave us all. Maybe that last bit was a slight stretch. Remember Cheetor from the Transformers film (Some can dispute if that was him or not, I am sticking to my guns until someone corrects me)  and how devastating he was! Well Boston Dynamics have took it upon themselves to create the cyber-cat. This cat can run about 28 MPH, sure you can go faster then that in a car, but on foot your better off calling the morgue yourself. So far it can reach that speed on a treadmill, but they care working on a outdoor terrain model. Below is a graphic of the Wildcat (outdoor terrain model), a video of it reaching it's speed, and what I envision it will look like in about 5 years to the end of the human race!

Okay they don't look alike....YET!!!

First Official Photo of Hugh Jackman in the Upcoming Wolverine Film

There isn't much to say about the film, its going to be in Japan and he is taking his role seriously. Say what you will about the films but Hugh Jackman has burned a permanent mark into the minds of his fans, he is WOLVERINE. I gotta say he looks pretty bad ass. Enjoy!

What is that I see?! Me thinks it is RoboCop!!!

What kind of world would we be living in if they made a reboot to Total Recall and not one for an old school denizen of the crime-ridden Detroit, Michigan. I am guessing this one will take place in the near future, because the last film seems to have taken place in our past. Either way the outfit looks pretty cool, well it did when Snake Eyes wore it in the G.I. Joe film. Looks like a cross between Batman / Snake Eyes / Judge Dredd. I smell a lawsuit....not really.

Looks a little like Snake Eyes

"Black is the new Chrome" (I think I just wrote an add for them!)

Short Films You Will Enjoy

Hey there ShiNigglers I got some treats below for you. First up is a fan made film with this as the description "Batman The Dark Knight takes on Captain America the first Super Soldier. Who would win in a fight? We want you to decide! It's batarang vs. shield in the first episode of Ultimate Fan Fights!"  The concept is pretty cool in that you can choose your ending to the video. It is a bit like those old Goosebump books when you could pick your ending. I chose for Captain America to win. Make your own choice.

New episodes air each month so subscribe to START!

The second treat is my favorite out of the two. I really liked Thomas Jane as the Punisher and was a bit let down when I found out that he wouldn't be reprising the role in the sequel. If they have any sense, which I am sure they don't, they will revive the franchise with Jane back in the role as Marverl's favorite Anti-Hero. The video is pretty badass and not intended for the younger audiences out there. Enjoy!

Fish Parasite Named After Bob Marley

I read this article and I had no intention of posting it, but the side of me that found this funny couldn't help but to put it out there for others. So an assistant professor of marine ecology and field marine biology at Arkansas State University (We are going to call him Paul Sikkel...because that is his name) discovered and named a "gnathiid isopod" after the reggae artist. [For a description on what a gnathiid is click here http://bit.ly/LfUKmx.]

What fascinated me about the article was that they really named a parasite after a musician. I don't see how that is a great honor but who am I to judge right. Here is the official description of the parasite: "a small parasitic crustacean blood feeder that infests certain fish that inhabit the coral reefs of the shallow eastern Caribbean." .....WHAAAAT?! I guess because they both are from the caribbean I can kind of see why they relate. (my head was shaking no as I said that last statement.) Below is a picture of a fish being harassed by the Bob Marley parasite. Enjoy ShiNigglers.
