Your video, Robot Exoskeleton helps man walk after 20yrs in a wheelchair, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Does this exoskeleton make my ass look big?

aren't all the suits rigid to move in regardless, because of that pressure... now there is tech to get an exoskeleton involved... maybe that will be of more use than trying to overcoming the barrier of necessary materials and pressure making manueverability limited

Knowing this is part of my job: Berkeley Bionics was founded by UCB faculty. The research was done at UCB. To quote Berkeley Bionics's website:

2005: Berkeley ExoWorks™ is founded by Dr. Homayoon Kazerooni, Russ Angold, Nathan Harding, and other individuals associated with the Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory. The new company enters into a licensing agreement with the university to commercialize innovative exoskeleton technology developed at the lab. ... 2007: Berkeley ExoWorks becomes Berkeley Bionics™.

Berkeley Bionics is a private company, but it is very much an academic venture, founded on academic research in exoskeletons and other robotic efforts.

Thank god exoskeletons suck...

i want one just so i can say "get away from her you BITCH".

^well done averageuser! It does look like hag moth/monkey slug caterpillar (genus Phobetron). And several species are listed for Brazil (I'm assuming that's Portuguese in the video)... although I couldn't find a picture of this species. Here is another Brazilian species:
http://www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/ref-5615.htm
It is commonly guessed that they find some refuge from predators by resembling the discarded exoskeletons of spiders. I still say the one in the video looks like a bat.

I want to slap this guy. He goes on and on about robots being emotionless, but completely fails to mention that we have NO combat robots that are autonomous.
And then with the slide show - He's showing exoskeletons and all that jazz and then busts out a picture from the Braingate project. Seriously? You're comparing a technology that allows a quadriplegic to have very limited use of a computer to that of humans interfacing with combat robots?

What really made me laugh was the side-by-side of the Star Wars AT-ST and the Japanese walker mech.

First of all, you're a douche. ZOMG! Not some piece of shit "mech" that simulates walking by gliding on wheels made by some guy in his garage out of sheet metal!

Secondly, he seems to willfully neglect that these machines are NO different than a predator drone, a M1A1 Abrams tank, or a 2004 Toyota Camry.

They all require an operator.

Two problems with that morality:

1. Ritual is relevant.

If you kill only one animal, why does it matter if the lethal wound is from an arrow or a bullet? Does your argument stand if the weapons are a 17th century musket versus a compound bow? How about a knife coated with fast-acting neurotoxin? Blow darts? Hand to hand, but you are wearing a high-tech exoskeleton?

2. Omniscient is required.

Imagine it is instead a hermit who purchases guns and poaches the lion, one who has never seen the "endangered species" list. How are they to know the population of lions, or the population of lions worldwide, unless they have omniscience?

Or, if you leave on Friday for a week-long deer hunting trip, and after you leave every deer worldwide falls ill from a worldwide-virus except the ones in your geographical location. That species is now endangered yet you would have to be omniscient to realize what you were doing was now morally wrong.

Yes, killing lions may be, or should be, socially wrong; but you aren't talking about socially wrong you are talking about morally wrong because you said "they deserve to die" not "they deserve to be socially ostracized."

>> ^Farhad2000:
Look if you go hunting a over populated species with a bow knife and a bow and arrow I get it. I might not agree with it but I get it.
But when you are 'hunting' with a rifle, a species that is protected, for some kind of stupid kick then you totally deserve to be mauled by the animal.

Sadly, I think this is one of the only ZP reviews I don't agree with completely. He clearly didn't understand a lot about the game and didn't play the first one. Crouching too high? There's a way to crouch MORE (ctrl + shift). As far an enemy difficulty goes, once the bad guys have ridiculous armor (exoskeletons, etc) you've got to aim for the head to get an effective kill. Frankly, he totally missed the whole story because, again, he tried to play an EXPANSION without playing the normal game through first. It explains why there are anomolies and why it's all centered around Chernobyl.

Lastly, I'll admit the AI had some real problems perpetuating states between saves. I remember in the first one having to fight off 8 Monolith guys at once. I killed a couple, quick saved, and when I loaded the rest had forgotten I existed.

For my part, this is a buggy game but still one of the most enjoyable in years.

Just in case you stumbled in here by accident, I don't want to blamed if someone posts something that ruins the film for you, such as Batman catches the Clap or Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred, breaks his back and dons an exoskeleton that gives him the power of ten butlers. You know, things like that? You've been warned!

Thanks for the heads-up.
