This 26″ God of War Statue is Terrifying And Awesome
Sony's God of War Kratos Definitive Statue is a full 26" tall, and was designed by the God of War team themselves. It's currently available on Sony's PlayStation Gear store for $599.99.
There are only 500 pieces available worldwide, though, so we took a closer look at it for those who are still tossing up whether or not to buy it - it's likely it'll sell out very soon.

President Obama Injecting $4 Billion Into Self-Driving Cars
Development of self-driving vehicles is getting a big push from the U.S. government, as it plans to invest nearly $4 billion in the technology over the next ten years.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx took to the Detroit Auto Show earlier today to announce President Obama's FY 2017 budget proposal, as well as several new initiatives that would "accelerate" the development of driveless vehicles. Foxx was joined on stage by executives from General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Tesla, Google and Delphi.
"We are on the cusp of a new era in automotive technology with enormous potential to save lives, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and transform mobility for the American people," said Secretary Foxx in a statement.

Grant Gustin on Whether Zoom is Earth 2’s “Evil Barry”
After taking a break for the holidays, The Flash is back with new episodes, beginning this coming Tuesday!
I visited the Vancouver set of The Flash a few weeks back and spoke to the show’s star, Grant Gustin, about what’s next, now that Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) has arrived, Zoom’s threat continues to grow and Barry continues to adjust to having a different Harrison Wells in STAR Labs.
IGN: Can you talk about Wally West’s arrival and what that might mean for Barry? Obviously, because of the comics, what Wally represents is a big deal.
Gustin: As far as Barry’s connection to it, I think Barry this year is more of a support system for a lot of people, where last year it was always his emotional journey and everyone trying to be his support system. In a lot of ways, Barry is doing that for Joe this year and he’s doing that for Iris. You’ll see more of that as the season continues. Obviously there’s a little bit of… Not jealousy, but Joe has always been a father figure to Barry and Barry knows that he has always wanted a real son. Now that he does have one and he’s in the picture, there’s some weirdness. We’re not going to see Barry and Wally interact a lot immediately but Barry is trying to be supportive and be there for them. It’s his family.
Legion of Super-Heroes ‘Hint’ Coming to a DC Comics TV Show
We could be getting a not-so-subtle nod to DC's Legion of Super-Heroes on TV.
After a panel at the Television Critics Association press tour, TV Line reports DC Entertainment's Geoff Johns teased a hint that will be seen in an upcoming episode of one of DC's current television shows.
“You’ll see a hint of the Legion on one of our shows," he said. “I love the Legion. They’re underused and hopefully we’ll get them out there soon.”
Johns has ties to the Legion, having written some of the characters into a past Smallville episode. However, he did not specify which show would be hiding the hint, or when it would arrive.
