That's the thing that really gets me @lucky760. I'm really skeptical, even about the act of being skeptical, but the thing that truly convinces me it's ahoax is not any problem with video or physics, it's the fact that when people point out that Nintendo, GoPro and Android get a lot of exposure for this, it just makes so much sense that I really have no argument.

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.

I fell hard for SimCity on the Super Nintendo! IMHO this was the only Sim series game that played well on the console but I've always been a PC guy anyways.

So, Valve and Nintendo are OK with this project?


There's really nothing here that Valve could rightfully complain about and it would be really fucked up of them to even try considering they got the idea from a freeware game to begin with.

Nintendo, on the other hand... I'm surprised they haven't sent a cease and desist order.
