Robo-Ostrich is coming to hunt you down and peck off your kid's faces

Give it two large miniguns and a terrifying sound effect and it would be an excellent Serious Sam enemy!

That NeverWet stuff is awesome. I was thinking you could coat all of your clothes in it but presumably you wouldn't be able to wash them then

Wow, that's unreal that the monkey can feel the virtual object. The computer program is telling the monkey what to sense. You wouldn't want that chip to get hacked would you!

'Sharp object through the palm worm has infected your microchip'. I am sure Norton will be on the case!

He's moving the arm with his mind! And feeling the things! Crazy!

So lets imagine this was attached to your mind. You were playing Splinter Cell and you crept up behind someone with a knife, you can feel the knife in your hand and the tension of it against the skin of the 'AI' enemy. Even though it's a game would you slice through his neck and kill him? allowing your brain to feel every resistance of that knife through the flesh?

Maybe its a question for a whole thread as surely the future of gaming involves feeling the world?

[EvilBoris]

Just think of the sexier uses for it...

[endo]

Splinter cell knife sex? You make me puke...

Rather nifty robot:

The technology that lies ahead for us is truly staggering. I am an agnostic but if i were asked what or who is GOD i would say that it is the ultimate potential of intelligent life thus the human race in the making providing we don't destroy ourselves or are destroyed by another race or catastrophic event like an asteroid impact. And soon we will have the ability to protect ourselves from that too.
