Okay, there's a Geek Decoder. Now, where do you find the code?

That is intriging. Think of the Ford Model T, the WW1 tanks and bi-planes, 1970's and 1980's computers, and of what we now have. Now look at current robotics and nanotech and think of where we will be. I imagine our MANY worlds AND stars beyond what many shows, movies, and games present.

That thing is crap. It doesn't even walk, it just kinda shuffles. Come on now, we have the tech to built walkers, we just need someone with the vision and the money to do.

There's a more impressive walking system video on the same site, showing a guy being taken down stairs on a chair. Shifts balance from one "foot" to the other. A bit slow, and I think I'd want to be ready to jump out, but pretty fun to watch.

I still think walking tanks ("mechs") seem like a sci-fi tech which creates many more problems than it solves... it doesn't seem likely to me that it'd ever be a combat-efficient system. This demo video kinda helps illustrate that - "look, I'm precariously up in the air, struggling not to fall over, and a conspicuous target to everyone around me!"

I do wonder what the passing drivers were thinking! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I got the joke too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So, when are they going to build a Gundam?
