blankfistsays...Were those dildos at 00:28?
Paybacksays...Must be pretty humiliating to be expecting 100 virgins only to find out one of them just sent you on your way.
Rottysays...I remember back in the 80s, when these things were first being dreamed up. Whooda thunk?
Sounds like they're running Bombardier Rotax (snowmobile/Sea Doo Jetski) engines?
Upvoted for being the most real video game eva!
acidSpinesays...it's not like being the only sentient being in the room isn't fun but why oh why did the piece of macarbe techo-porn make it's way this far up the sift? This sort of thing makes me puke tears of shit in sympathy for the human race. Shame, shame and shame
westysays...Must be fun murdering people from a pc
schmawysays...Next up: We will draft Xbox Live players to command combat robots, without them even knowing it.
vaporlocksays...I just hope that our future robot-overlords show us more sympathy than we deserve.
JonaHansensays...This is the sort of technology that causes the military to shit their pants with glee. No risk to personnel, easy targeting of less technologically advanced adversaries, and the fun of a video game for the operators. In addition, in light of the Milgram experiments, this scenario is the one in which the most subjects would be willing to follow orders to kill a helpless victim solely because they are told to by an authority figure. The disconnect provided by the remote control allows the operators to not feel and experience the actual horror that they are delivering.
chilaxesays...I kick ass at video games. Can I help?!
deathcowsays...My dad (VN cobra pilot) wonders if they draw combat pay. They may not be risking their lives, but they certainly are conscious of the fact they are blowing people to smithereens.
