We can all be Tony Stark in Raytheon's Second-Generation Exoskeleton

Oh to be Iron Man...it's every comic fans dream.  While we cannot strap on our Iron Man suit like Tony Stark, the road to making it a reality just got a little bit closer.

Raytheon has unveiled its second-generation exoskeleton (XOS 2) robot suit. XOS 2 is lighter("light enough to play soccer in"), stronger and faster than its predecessor, yet it uses 50 percent less power, and its new design makes it more resistant to the environment. Watch the video!

The Avengers Discuss Their New Health Care Plan [NSFW Video]

First it was the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and Republicans members of Congress and now it's the Avengers - government run health care (or Obama Care as it is known in some circles) touches everyone, even earth's mightiest superheroes.

You will laugh through "Avengers Assemble! Episode 1: Healthcare," in which a group of cosplaying comedians imagine how Earth's Mightiest Heroes might respond to today's hot-button issue.

The sketch sees Tony Stark addressing the team's new health plan, with each Avenger inadvertently revealing their health care needs as they inquire about how reform impacts their lives. Scarlet Witch is worried about her artificial domestic partner and imaginary children, Hawkeye's worried about STD's and unwanted pregnancies, Thor feels marginalized as a god from another realm and Wolverine is just happy to be Canadian.

What $30,000 Puzzle Could Stump Lex Luthor, Tony Stark & Bruce Wayne?

Even the Calculator, Mr. Terrific, Oracle, Ray Palmer, Reed Richards, and Charles Xavier would have a hard time mastering this beauty. 

The Superplexus, a three-dimensional puzzle guaranteed to test every last iota of your spatial dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and patience. Wallet too.

This is the three-dimensional spherical labyrinth that challenges the limits of your manual dexterity and spatial understanding as you maneuver a 5/8" wooden marble through its entire 330 feet course. 

The track is hand-made from Finnish birch and takes over 400 hours to construct and costs a mere $30,000.

Greatest Iron Man T-Shirt Gfest Has Ever Seen

Gfest loves cool, unique and entertaining t-shirts.  In fact, we own more than Sheldon on Big Bang Theory.  One of our favorite online destinations to purchase unique, humorous, beautifully designed t-shirts is Threadless.

Recently we stumbled upon this creative t-shirt that parodies Iron Man.

This design by a.d.17 is damn creative and just plain funny.

I picture Bruce Wayne wearing this shirt around Gotham as a FU to Tony Stark.

How to Get Better Grass

We here at Gfest consider ourselves to Renaissance Men or Polymath (impressive word isn't it?) men.  So we always like to bring our readers not only the exceptional content they you have become accustomed to but also items that will make you stand out in the crowd.

If you want your lawn to look as good as Wayne Manor, Avengers Mansion, Luthor Mansion, Scrooge McDuck's Estate or Monty. Burns Manor all you need is a lawn mower according the book by David Parfitt entitled Lawnscapes.

Lawnscapes teaches readers how to mow artistic masterpieces directly into their lawns everything from checkerboard squares, hearts, and bull's-eyes to Christmas trees, Celtic knotwork, and much more.

Early Reviews For Iron Man 2 Are Not Good

Your friends at Gfest will not lie to you, we are not Tony Stark fans.  In our world there is only room for one bad-ass billionaire and his name is Bruce Wayne.

With that being said, Gfest thought "Iron Man 2" did look like a good movie from the trailers splattered all over the theaters and internet, and we were excited to see it.  But the early reviews are starting to roll in and according to the Hollywood Reporter, Iron Man 2 is no "Dark Knight'."

Holy Cool but Overpriced Super Table Batman

Doesn't everyone need a $900 comic book inspired Super Table?  Obviously, the answer is yes.

Get it before it sells out.  Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor, Olive Queen, Tony Stark, King Pin and Ras Al Guhl have already placed orders for one of these bad boys.

If you have an extra $900 burning a hole in your pocket and your wife and/or girlfriend is much more relaxed about interior design than your normal Gfest reader click here to purchase.
