Craig Venter unveils "synthetic life"! has been added as a related post - related requested by kulpims.

Just you wait until they unveil the Bullfrog ball buster,with which they will require one of these installed hooked into origin at all times to not get your balls crushed while playing any EA games. It may seem draconian, but really, only pirates have anything to fear or if your internet goes down. Fun!

EA - ruining your nostalgia since you got nostalgic.

The travelling salesman trope, and it's implications, are as old as the hills. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TravelingSalesman

In that case shouldn't the narrative have been shown from the point of view of the village occupants? The closest we saw to them suffering any consequences of their actions was a distant puff of purple smoke as the Smoke Seller laughed.

If let the buyer beware was the point, then show me the buyers suffering the consequences. A massive guard dog turning into a mangy ankle-biter while defending his owner from a burgler, the boy's airplane / rocket turning back into a pointy stick and catching him in the eye, show me the old ladies at a fancy party being laughed at when their fancy bags and clothes turn back into tat, or the major becoming a laughing stock when, as he goes to unveil it to invited dignitaries, his massive monument tuns back into a walking cane (without even a jewel adorning it anymore).

Ironic that it was unveiled from a trash bag and eventually wound up in one.

@Auger8 Spot on... and the artist's name is Kogoro Kurata (hence the name of the robot), he's made other large mech statues and animated installations in the past.

Also, this thing was unveiled at Wonder Festival, which is an event to show garage kits and models etc. Hardly a place for a 'real' robot to be launched.

Plus it seems kind of odd that in all the still shots of it it has a massive metal beam up its butt to hold it up... seems like it has issues standing on its own.

Very cool piece of art/toy, but not a real, functioning robot as 'sold' in the video.

PFt. <snicker> She doesn't know what the Csah is.
