    Seriously. 10 years. We're going to see hunters from episode 2 on the battlefield. And on that day I shall buy a minigun.
    That is all. ಠ_ಠ

    Ive seen a video of Dig Dog slipping but managing to keep its footing on ice. A very impressive piece of tech.
    Head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the wardrums.

    Pay no mind to the rabble.

    Is it wrong to be scared of that?

    Not in the slightest. Scares the hell out of me. One day they willl rule us all. Or alternatively outlive us and build a new robot civilisation, once mankind has perished.

    keepon



    while the video was fun.....


    keepon is a small robot that is designed to aid in learning for children with developmental disorders like
    autism. the small plush robot is on show at the international robot exhibition in tokyo and will soon go
    into production. developed by the US company beatbots, keepon will hit shelves in spring 2010 starting
    with japan. the device is designed to assist children in building their social interaction skills. the child
    and keepon can talk to one another and keepon records a video of the child allowing them to see their
    own action with the robot. when the robot was being developed at carnegie mellon university, a video
    of a prototype dancing to music became a mild youtube sensation.

    Robots aren't really the problem, it's AI, luckily I'll be developing that for you in a few years, I'll make sure to make them NOT hunt us if they ever go insane...

    Just hope I don't screw up and they only go for playstuff people
    Moo!
