Mar 26 2008Robotic Bigdog Beta Early Testing Video
Remember Bigdog, the scary as hell and very lifelike robot mule/dog? Well here's a video of an even earlier rendition of the beast. And I must say, I feel much less compassion for this version than the new one. When this one got kicked over I was actually hoping it'd fall over and break its legs. I mean, it's not lifelike at all. I cared so little I was even secretly praying a hunter would spot the pathetic bastard and put it out of its misery with several well placed bullets to the abdominal region.

Haha, I thought this thing was legit until I saw arms pop out when it was kicked over.

Haha, at first I thought it was real too, but then I saw the leg-shape and the shoes, and the fact that it wasn't real at all. Pretty funny.

That's the hardest I've laughed in a long time.

I see by the comments that it doesn't take much to fool then amuse the sheeple.

I couldn't understand why that lady and her dog weren't more responsive to the weirdness. They did a great job of reproducing the stumbling of the real robot when kicked.
Note to self: never see magic show with Scott.
21. mang - March 27, 2008 9:06 PM
Ouch, ouch... I LOLd too hard when that slow-mo kick was different from the first kick.
