Man Flies Like a Bird Flapping His Own Wings

therealblankman says...

April Fool isn't for 2 more weeks. I call real. Also, if you read the article it's clear that flapping does not equal un-powered. His motions are translated through gyro sensors and amplified through heavy-duty servo motors. Interestingly it seems the gyro sensors are from Nintendo Wii controllers and the processing power is from an Android phone.

I say to thee Icarus; don't fly too close to the sun.

One Pissed Off Garbageman!

Apparently it was a prank. From the youtube video:

"This was an april fools joke for my bosses at work. I recorded the video from inside my own house with my own garbage can and mailbox. I took the video to work and asked one of our CSR's to give it to my boss and pretend that a costomer came in supper angry with it. Needless to say after watching the video I was called in to the office for what was to be my termination... Fortunately for me they took the prake very well."

I get the impression none of you have played Warcraft 3. You're doing it wrong.


Even in Warcraft 3 the Pandarens were an April Fools joke. They were never seriously a part of the universe.

WoW has been loosing subscribers hand over fist for the last year, and this expansion is clearly their way of trying to appeal to a new audience. They have some very serious competition coming up this year and next that are sure to take millions more people away from them. Further proof is the offer of all the bonuses and guaranteed beta and free Diablo 3 for anyone that buys a year long subscription. They are trying their best to pad their income until the new expansion hits. You watch, the game will be advertised on Cartoon Network and Disney. Titan itself is rumored to be 'very casual' as well.

Blizzard has jumped the shark.

Because Pandas are pandas, not some fantasy creature. It was all well and good when it was just a little off-shoot in Warcraft 3, and hell, they could even have an homage in WoW, whatever, it's all good. But to put it so front and center, makes the whole thing silly to me. At least Draenei were something entirely different.

I seem to be having the complete opposite reaction than you - I can't understand how people can take it seriously.

I will give the expansion this, though, mechanics-wise it looks to be a big improvement.

I like wow in general. I played the damn thi, ng for 2500+ hours, but while they have had many silly elements mixed in with their more "high fantasy", this puts the silly front and c, enter.
I think this is way sillier than anything they've done before, partly because it's so "centered" in view. Have small references and general sillyness in the outskirts of the game is just fine, but dammit, wow was a perfectly good game, but now it's gone silly!

You people are all nuts. Maybe it's my general interest in Asian culture speaking, but this looks pretty awesome to me. I honestly do not get why everyone is reacting like this is the worst thing since Jar Jar Binks. Someone seriously needs to explain that to me. What looks so bad about this?

Since you asked...
Since launch, WoW has been a remarkably shallow game. It's success is attributable to oooh, shiny!, furry culture and, most importantly, people's tendencies to gambling addiction. The WoW team is kinda infamous for not coming up with any new or interesting ideas.
So when they suddenly whip out a new expansion that's based on an April fools prank by one of their artists from 6 or so years ago, yeah, it seems especially cheap. No matter... the furries will gobble this up and the money will continue to roll in.

Well sure, I mean, I can understand why some people dislike WoW in general. And of course those people aren't going to like this, because ultimately it's more of the same.
What I'm asking is why people who are actually fans of WoW are reacting so vehemently to this.
