Wolverine Origins 2 : Japan Saga ?
In Marvel comic’s continuity, Wolverine has always longed for Japan. In Claremont and Miller’s hallmark Wolverine tale, Logan embarks to Japan and falls in love with Mariko Yashida. Since nothing is easy, Mariko is the heiress to the Oyabun family, a powerful and lethal Yakuza crime family. Chaos ensues, many ninjas wind up dead, and Wolverine seemingly overcomes his vicious feral nature. As of now, Wolverine 2’s script is being hammered out by Christopher McQuarrie (X-Men, Valkyrie) with director Brayan Singer attached to the project. (Souce - Imdb) Putting the debacle that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine aside, this movie could be fun. The storyline is a perfect examination of the burly berserker. Hopefully, this film will keep the raging Canuck as the focus rather than surrounding him with endless mutant cameos. Wolverine is the best there is at what he does, so let him do it.
Director - Bryan Singer
Writer (Screenplay) - Christopher McQuarrie
Wolverine - Hugh Jackman
Transformers 3 -
Directer -Michael Bay
Writer -Ehren Kruger (screenplay)
Thor :
Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of superhero: THOR. This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth. Kenneth Branagh directs this fantasy epic which stars Australian actor Chris Hemsworth as the ancient Norse god, Tom Hiddleston as his evil brother Loki, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, a young woman who befriends Thor on Earth, and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Thor's father and king of Asgard. Expect to see agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., previously seen in ''Iron Man,'' to make an appearance, further forshadowing the coming of The Avengers!

Thursdays Top Ten (part 2)
5. Clayface(Side Note:with clayface there isint just one but since we do these in bio style we shall do the one from Batman: The Animated Series.)
Real Name:Matt Hagen
First Appearance :Detective Comics #298
(December 1961)
Insane Twist: Hagen is disfigured in a horrible car accident while recovering in a burn clinic, he is approached by corrupt businessman Roland Daggett,who makes him a test subject for a compound called "RenuYou" that he promises will immediately restore his youthful good looks in return, Hagen must disguise himself to commit crimes for Daggett. He greatly resents this, but is forced to comply as the RenuYou chemical is extremely addictive. Hagen attempts to steal a large quantity of RenuYou from Daggett's compound, but is caught, and Daggett's men try to kill Hagen by pouring an entire canister of the compound down his throat.Rather than kill him like its suppose to, It turns him into a bulky and misshapen clay like form. For short periods of time, he can shapeshift into anything or anybody he wishes.
Highlight: carnt pick one
Reason (My Views): Much like Mr. Freeze and Two Face clayface is a sympathic villian, you feel sorry for him, but his ability to shapeshift is admireable but at the same time when hit he would just be hitting mud, kind of like the sandman from spider-man but instead of sand its mud
4. Bane
Real Name: Unkown
First Appearance: Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1
Insane Twist: Formerly addicted to the super-steroid Venom, Bane is now merely consumed with gaining power in the world.
Highlight: Breaking Batman's spirit and then breaking his back.Bane could easily have been #1 on the list, but since his brilliant show of destroying Batman, Bane has turned into a worthless Neanderthal. During "Knightfall" Bane didn't just break Batman's back, he broke Batman's will. While most villains choose chaotic strategies to take out Batman, Bane's plan was simply to unleash every whacko from Arkham, run Batman ragged, and then face the Dark Knight when he had nothing left. Batman barely had the will to go on living after his battle with Bane. Too bad the past few years have negated Bane to a rather simple thug.
Reason (My Views) : Bane is just a massive powerhouse of muscle, his basic plans simply make him better than other villians, rather than do things for a reason or have a 'theme' e.g. ice or plants, he is just strong and a brute whitch makes him awesome!
3. Scarecrow
Real Name: Jonathan Crane
First Appearance: World's Finest Comics #3
Insane Twist: Scarecrow wants nothing less than everyone in Gotham to be as afraid as he once was.
Highlight : Producing a long-lasting fear in Batman during Dark Victory that turned the Dark Knight into a paranoid loner unable to accept help from anyone. Few villains have done more with less. The pencil-thing Crane has one of the most effective attacks of the Rogues Gallery. How many other villains have routinely made Batman afraid? Cranes downfall is his own shortsightedness. But as the creepy figure in the night, he helps open up interesting avenues into the Dark Knight's psyche. That's true power.
Reason (My Views) : Well just the idea of someone who was afriad then that same person then createing a fear toxin and useing it as a sort of hallucinogen just seems really amazing and cool to me not to mention the toxin always provides amazing visons of there personal fears.
Will Need To Do A part 3 tomorro with the final 2 ;)

Thursday Top Ten !
This week, i thought ill choose my own Top Ten. So in celebration of us legaly being able to use ''You Can Call Me Batman'' By Scared Of Dinosaurs as our new theme song, i thought it'd only be fitting for me to pick my personal 'Top Ten Batman Villians' (side note: the things that get said will be the things i know from the versions i prefair as you know every character has a gazillion diffrent orign storys just so you know theres no need to be all THATS NOT WHAT HAppENED! because it is just in the version i like better ;) ) so now all thats out the way lets get started :
10. Black Mask
Real Name: Roman Sionis
First Appearance: Batman #386
Insane Twist: Black Mask is a sociopath obsessed with tormenting Bruce Wayne. The mask fused to his face was carved from his mothers grave. *shudders*
Highlight:On his way to taking over Gotham's underworld, he aced Batman's newest Robin, Stephanie Brown.
Reason (My Views): Yes on the surface he does look like a red skull rip off whitch is debatable, but alas the reasons he makes the list are because he is more obsessed with tormenting bruce wayne whereas most villians go after batman he wants the billionareplayboy. Also because he does kill robin whitch automaticly makes him a great villian. The psychological damage wasn't just to Batman, but also to Tim Drake, Stephanie's boyfriend (and on-again off-again Robin)
9. Poison Ivy
Real Name: Pamela Isley
First Appearance: Batman #181
Insane Twist: Her blood is quite literally toxic, but her pheromone scent is absolutely intoxicating
Highlight: Forging a truce with Batman that allowed her some control over Gotham City.
Reason (My Views):Along with being able to control plantlife and having a scent that attracts men she also has a kiss that kills, these all give her good reasons to be a solid number nine.
8. Two Face
Real Name: Harvey Dent
First Appearance: Detective Comics #66
Insane Twist: When half his face was disfigured by acid, District Attorney Harvey Dent's personality split in two and the monster known as Two-Face was born.
Highlight: There have been many great two-timing moments, but none as satisfying as when Two-Face betrayed and shot Hush.
Reason (My Views): Harvey is one of the rare cases where i feel sorry for the villian. He was once a crusader for justice, like Batman. In fact, his obsession with punishing criminals was, at times, more severe than the Bat. But when Dent got the acid bath it opened up his psychosis. None of Two-Faces criminal shenanigans can equal the guilt Batman feels over failing to save Harvey Dent. This makes for a potent villain.
7. Catwoman
Real Name: Selina Kyle
First Appearance: Batman #1 (as The Cat)
Insane Twist: She's obsessed with cats.
Highlight:Shacking up with Bruce Wayne -- a brilliant career move. Sure, Catwoman's not a megalomaniac and often she's more good than bad, but there is no other villain who holds as much power over Batman as the feline vixen. Catwoman has Batman wrapped around her finger so tightly he's actually looked the other way at her thievery. Not to mention, Bruce Wayne has hooked up with Selina in the past. There's no one more dangerous than an enemy who makes you betray your own convictions
Reason (My Views): As already mentioned she holds more power over batman than any other villian. She is also his female equal whicth makes for a pretty much even fight
6. Mr. Freeze
Real Name: Victor Fries
First Appearance: Batman #121
Insane Twist: A control-freak who sees his freezing techniques as a way to control an unstable world. Went truly coocoo after his love Nora died due to a mystery illness.
Highlight:His appearance in the "City of Crime" storyline had an utterly delusional Freeze keeping Batman one step away from finding a missing girl.
Reason (My Views) : I love mr. freeze because i do genually feel sorry for him as he commits crimes to, what he thinks he needs to do to bring his wife back from death.
NUMBER 5 - 1 (Part 2) SHALL BE UP TOMORROW!

Monday Madness
But what do we know about the game? Activision has described it as an 'action-adventure', and according to a report by G4, it probably won't appear before 2012.
Sledgehammer was previously looking for a sound designer, lighting artist, lead online/multiplayer designer, lead environment artist and gameplay engineer to work on it's Call of Duty title - the studio recently started advertising for a senior character artist, lead online/multiplayer designer, gameplay systems engineer, development audio software engineer, temporary concept artist and associate producer.
"The candidate will be involved in the creation of gameplay related features for an unannounced high-end console title, bringing areas such as the camera system and character development to a new level," reads the gameplay systems engineer posting. 'Camera system' certainly suggests that a view other than the series' first-person standard could be on the cards. MW2 flirted with third-person mode as a multiplayer option.Meanwhile the posts for concept artist and audio engineer both mention vehicles - a responsibility for the latter reads: "Develops and enhances audio systems that work in conjunction with AI, physics, vehicle, and animation systems."
Resident Evil 4 On Ipad !?
Resident Evil 4 was great on the GameCube. PS2 as well. On the iPhone, though,It wasnt so great. Could an iPad version be any better?
Part of the reason it sucked was because the iPhone's tiny screen and feeble horsepower neutered much of the game's atmosphere, one of its most important aspects. But the main reason was, like it is for most iPhone games, the butchered touch-screen controls.
This new iPad version looks set to improve upon the first of those points, the bigger, shinier graphics looking light years ahead of its handheld predecessor. But the controls? They'll be the same. Just...bigger. And bigger in this case might not mean better.
Tremors: The Game !
Tremors, a 1990 comedy/horror film about underground monsters terrorising a small town in Nevada, is about the best thing Kevin Bacon ever did. It's also the best flash game I played all weekend.The aim of the game is simple: much like the movie, you need to assemble a cast of survivors, then elude the creatures as you try and...survive. I don't remember the beasts getting airborne so often in the film, but then, I don't remember anyone looking this cute, either.
Finally on this monday since most of you are male heres one final story for you guys (and girls, we dont judge here at nerdy news )
Gaming Accessories......... FOR STRIppERS!
Pasties past·ies pl.n. "A pair of adhesive patches used to conceal a woman's nipples and worn principally by exotic dancers or striptease performers."
A French burlesque strip-teaser performer from Paris, who goes by the name Lady Tornade makes stripper gear like these Super Mario Bros. Power-Up Mushrooms (see below pic) pasties are for women to glue to their chests and prance about in.
The pasties are hand-sewn sequin by sequin, and each pair comes with two special adhesives. For those in the market for new pasties, tassel jobs cost between €30 and €40 (US$40 ~ $54) (UK £26.50 - £35.30) , while custom designs cos about €60 (US$81) (UK £53) and take a week to craft.
Im not going to show you them 'in action' but if want to see them the links are below Modeled by Lady Tornade herself
