  1. I don't see any mechs in the near future replacing tanks. Tanks can still go to a ton of places that mech designs are made too impractical to go to. Mech designs would likely be best in urban combat because they can shoot around covers. The Front Mission Games have been the most realistic mech related franchise ever. Search Front Mission 4 videos on youtube to see what I mean.

    I can only imagine the spidermech design being real useful as a mobile artillery, or if it somehow could function like a spider (climb walls and leap high) then it would be a dangerous machine. If it could climb mountains, it could easily position itself for bombardments or reach higher elevations for tactical advantages. But the chances of them ever making a mech like that in the next 100 years is slim.

    The real wave of the future for robots is exoskeletons like the ones in Exosquad, Metal Skin Panic Madox-01, and Star Ship Trooper novels (Not the silly movies). Followed by smaller powered armors for basic infantry that you see in some Anime along with enhancement drugs and tracking implants in soldiers.

  2. I like the spider design... but can it even turn?

    Still better then that bipedal robot that one guy made. It couldn't move without shaking violently and looked like it could of tipped over easily. I think people focus too much in bipedal and should instead design a robot more similar to a centipede or other insect.

  3. try searching them with Japanese text in google or yahoo, even try out the Japanese versions of the same websites. Came across a ton of things. Heck, I even came across those nasty Guyver Hentai images people were talking about before inadvertently (scarred me for life).

    Doing so really churns out results for what you want found in Japanese media.

  4. Yeah he works at a store. Not really all impressive though, he had a job barely paying as much as mine. Just a few bucks above minimum wage. Still step above my current situation though, I'll give him that. My mom avoids me talking to him, either because she thinks I cause problems with men, or I end up revealing their bad halfs. Go figure.

  5. Don't you mean her brains was "Fried Chicken" :)

    Yeah, I hate Diva's with a passion. Never dated one, but I sure as heck don't ever want to date one.

    The media really has made it hard for relationships to flourish because now because the population is focused on beauty and money instead of say... a good reliable person who'd care about you. You probably wont see Paris Hilton last in a marriage, or most celebrities for that matter. What's happening to celebrities somehow becomes emulated by regular people, and now we have Divorce rate in America that has reached to about 60%. I have grandparents who have been married for 50 years or so, but the generation after them is lucky to even reach a ten year anniversary these days.

  6. One of the major flaws in robotics is that most of these scientists haven't found away to accurately mimic muscles, or even control the machine properly. Then there is the issue of joints and flexibility. What you need to do is pull together various different technologies together, but most of these groups are content with just creating their own and using it despite the better devices someone else created. Those that do want to use technology from other people are limited by copyrights and contracts. So it's all basically a screw over for whoever knows exactly what is needed to pull off a bipedal mech.

    Artificial muscles. The idea should be applied to human prosthetics and mechs. I suggest a liquid or gel rather then air, because you'll need the flexible and mass to support bigger things. I came up with the idea as a kid but MGS2's metal gear ray was the first fictional mech to be depicted with the same idea.

  7. Its coming out for PS3!? Alright I can play this thing! Sweet

    Good points. I wonder when women will finally understand that trying to change a guy is a bad idea. It's probably a huge factor in why jerks stick around, see women's expectations in when a guy claims to of changed (what a load of crap 95% of the time) and the foolish woman welcomes him back.

  8. machines cannot make love? Well then can simulate sex... just say hello to a vibrator, the lonely woman's best friend. If they can't improve in something in that alone within a hundred years they we are probably not as advanced as we thought.

    I take this guys predictions with a grain of salt. He's no way near as intuitive as Jules Verne. His predictions taken from wikipedia:

    A mural in Tampa, Florida commemorating Verne's From the Earth to the Moon.Jules Verne's novels have been noted for being startlingly accurate anticipations of modern times. Paris in the 20th Century is an often cited example of this as it arguably describes air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and other modern conveniences very similar to their real world counterparts.

    Another example is From the Earth to the Moon, which is uncannily similar to the real Apollo Program, as three astronauts are launched from the Florida peninsula and recovered through a splash landing. In the book, the spacecraft is launched from "Tampa Town"; Tampa, Florida is approximately 130 miles from NASA's actual launching site at Cape Canaveral.

    In other works, Verne predicted the inventions of helicopters, submarines, projectors, jukeboxes, and other later devices.

    He also predicted the existence of underwater hydrothermal vents that were not discovered until years after he wrote about them.

    He actually made other predictions in his works, and they aren't included in wikipedia for some reason. There wasn't a book released until just a decade ago that had been sealed in his vault. To everyone's shock, it turned out that he had predicted exactly how France (and in general how major cities around the world) would be like 100 years later after he wrote the book. It was never released because his publisher didn't like it as it was too dark and cold for a future. A shame really that it's not well known. It was called " Paris in the 20th Century" and wasn't released until 1994.

    I expect everyone to be drinking out of a dehumidifier soon (dehumidifiers just make nice clean water from around you, human populations in general to begin starving due to over hunting of fish. More wars due to growing populations, massive droughts due to lack of clean water (Check out the situation in Europe) and for humans to start massive migrations to the antarctic.
