New Game! Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

A mysterious artifact called the Tablet of Order and Chaos gets shattered into four pieces, creating problems with reality. A mystic within the Amazing Universe, who is confirmed to not be a current or former Sorcerer Supreme,[1] will tell Spider-Man how he can fix this, by going into three different dimensions (aside from his own), get help from the different Spider-Men in each dimension, and recover the tablet fragment in each.

Each dimensions’ Spider-Man has a unique fighting technique that distinguishes him from the others. Amazing Spider-Man of Earth-616 implements various web-attacks, such as web hammers and maces. Spider-Man Noir of Earth-7207 uses stealth tactics and timing to silently defeat his enemies. Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-928 is air driven, using high-flying acrobatics and his suits’ special abilities. Ultimate Spider-Man of Earth-1610 uses the powers of the symbiote suit to devastate hordes of enemies, generating symbiotic spikes and tendrils. Drawing on these qualities is a stylized “Spider Sense” for each Spiderman. Noir is based on stealth when your safely concealed in the shadows and thus invisible to your enemies the screen turns black and white, when your exposed in light the screen is colored in meaning someone can see you. Spiderman 2099 has the abillity to slow down time around him while he moves at normal speed allowing him to quickly dodge attacks such as lasers, Bombs or missiles.

Guy Rob A Bank Dressed As Darth Vader

Robbing a bank might not be the most original crime in the world. Robbing a bank while dressed as the most ruthless villain in the universe, on the other hand, definitely takes a little extra thought. According to Newsday, such a feat is exactly what one “man” recently pulled off at a Chase bank in Long Island. After strolling into the bank at around 11:30 a.m., Anakin pulled out a handgun, demanded cash, and, as is usually the case, Vader got what he demanded. Witnesses have described the Sithian stealer as six feet, two inches tall, and say he was wearing camo pants and a blue cape — in an attempt, apparently, to, um, disguise his disguise. Police say he was last seen heading off toward Valley Stream, but, by this point, it’s all but certain that he’s fled to a galaxy far, far away

Sony’s Ray Modeler 3D

WOW!

The RayModeler 3D display you’re seeing in this video is a prototype of the kind of device sci-fi storytellers have been dreaming up for years. LED light sources allow you to see an image from all angles, 360 degrees. Objects like faces and people appear realistic giving viewers a sense of depth because the left and right eyes are seeing different images. This prototype will be showcased at SIGGRAPH 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center July 25-29.
