The Hacksmith continues their quest to develop functional Batman gadgets with their latest creation, the Batman Grappling Hook Gun. It is capable of shooting up to 150 feet, and uses 3mm Kevlar rope which is rated to 2000lbs. They’re also working on a 8HP electric superwinch, which will be designed to allow users to scale buildings faster than any commercially available wench.

The Hacksmith – Batman Grappling Hook Gun
Tuesday, December 6th, 2016Columbia – Star Wars Rogue One Apparel
Monday, December 5th, 2016
Columbia and Disney have partnered up to produce a line of officially licensed Rogue One: A Star Wars Story apparel. The three pieces, Women’s Jyn Erso Rebel Jacket, Men’s Captain Cassian Andor Rebel Parka, and Men’s Imperial Death Trooper Jacket, will be officially available starting 12/9/16 at select Columbia store locations, as well as for online purchase.
In my opinion, the Jyn Erso jacket is actually the coolest looking piece of the three. It actually looks like authentic Star Wars garb. The Death Trooper jacket is pretty overt in its design, but looks like a decent outer layer, even though you might have to be a pretty big Star Wars fan to wear it on the regular. As for the parka? Well, it really reminds me of the Hoth parka from Empire, which makes it pretty neat.

Made of 100% soft spun poly fleece, this festive sweater, in holiday-appropriate red, white, and green, features modern military weapons in a repeating pattern.
Available in SM – 2XL for operators of all sizes and shapes.
8 Minutes Of Prey Gameplay
Saturday, December 3rd, 2016It may have very little to do with the original Prey, but this re-imagining/reboot/blatant-attempt-to-cash-in-on-an-established-property-via-name-recognition actually looks like a pretty good game.
In fact, it very much reminds me of System Shock. Looking forward to it coming out.
NERF TerraScout Now Available
Friday, December 2nd, 2016
NERF’s TerraScout, the RC NERF blaster drone that was unveiled back in June, is now available in stores. The TerraScout is a blaster drone that features a 720p video camera, which can be controlled via an included remote; the remote features an integrated LCD screen for live viewing. An additional detail that has come to light is users can record the video feed onto an SSD card.
The drone itself comes complete with an 18-dart mag/clip, which it fires full-automatic, and is compatible with NERF N-Strike barrel extensions. It is also capable of traveling on (mostly) all terrain via its tank-like treads.
MSRP is still $200, so this one might have to wait until Christmas.

Also, del Toro cameo confirms it: this is totally the Pan’s Labyrinth sequel no one asked for.
