Technology: Industrial Robot Vs. Sword Master (Video)
February 21, 2020
So. One step away from autonomous killer robot. We are just gonna hand The Terminator’s great-great-grandpa a sword and hope he doesn’t kill the human opponent on some ‘are you not entertained’ ish??
Yaskawa Electric Corporation conveys to the world the “manufacturing spirit” inherited continuously in itself to mark its 100th anniversary of foundation.
In “YASKAWA BUSHIDO PROJECT”, we reproduced Machii’s swordplay with MOTOMAN-MH24, while challenging the industrial robot’s performance limitations by integrating “legerity”, “accuracy” and “agility” at a high level. Machii retains many world records like “cutting a 6mm BB bullet”, and his swordplay has a reputation of theurgist. In this project, we also tried to express the courtesy and considerateness that Bushido has cherished.
– [Yaskawa Electric] e-mechanical site
Oh. So the man vs robot is not a head up thing, it’s more like a I-can-do-IT-can-do-too demonstration situation. Cool. But, um, anybody notice that the machine is the one NOT sweating at the end? Just saying. Dope presentation. But just saying… to our future sword-swing techno-overlords… We cool. HA!
(Consider that this vid is almost 5 years old. Imagine what the robo-sword game is like now!)

Ain’t nothing like a great game of spades. And ain’t nothing funnier that a LOPSIDED game when one side gets TORE OUT THE FRAME… unless Kev and DoBoy are involved. Then it’s funnier, but it will not get any funnier than that!

“Sonic The Hedgehog” Goes From Gaming Monitors To Movie Theaters (Vibe)
May 1, 2019
Two things you know are gonna be good in this: (1) the “Sonic The Hedgehog” CGI and (2) Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik!
“Sonic The Hedgehog” is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

Technology/Gaming: Learn To Make Car Repairs In Virtual Reality (Video)
October 30, 2017
Perhaps not an age-old question, but a cool one to answer: “Can I learn to fix race cars without risking damage to something expensive (like a car, or myself)?” “Oh wait, follow up, I don’t have a car, garage or tools of my own; does that matter much?. Oh, and wait, do I have to get ‘dirty’ and stuff?” Hahaaa!
Fix your car…in VR!
It’s time to get your car ready for racing without getting your hands dirty. “Wrench” is an indie game for virtual reality that lets players assemble photorealistic components for a custom race car. Players diagnose problems with their speed machines and try to fix them.
The game is still in development, and the developers say it won’t include any driving simulation either.

Well, there’s your answer!

Gaming/Relationships: Man Marries The Anime Character Of His Dreams (Video)
October 30, 2017
Hmm… file this under, “Naaaah, not crazy at all. Do you, um, player!”
Japanese adult game developer Hibiki Works recently performed a VR assisted wedding between a man and the anime character of his dreams. The wedding – which actually took place in a chapel in Tokyo – was part of Hibiki Works’ promotion of their upcoming game “Niizuma: Lovely x Cation.â€
– Vocativ
So, question: With the virtual wife concept… Would that be ‘death do them part’ after losing one life on the video game; or is this an ‘all lives matter’ situation (like, you have to stay with the new virtual spouse through all your game lives).

Snoop Dogg To Host The Reboot Of The Classic Game Show, “The Jokers Wild” (Trailer)
October 10, 2017
Okay, I’m thinking TBS might really be onto something. Snoop Dogg on TV as a game show host; not a cook or coach. And this reboot of “The Jokers Wild”… Wow! I would never have seen that coming (but now we know it’s coming, October 24th).
I remember the original game show hosted by Wink Martindale. Trust that this version will be waaay more ‘G’ (pimpin’)!

“Welcome To The Jungle” Baby! It’s The Next “Jumanji” Movie (Trailer)
July 8, 2017
Kevin Hart makes your comedy team! There, I said it, and it’s out there as FACT! Whether it’s him and Ice Cube, or again here with him and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson… HILARIOUS! Credit due though, this Jumanji installment features an ensemble cast that makes good on the fun adventure feel at the heart of the franchise. Check out the trailer above for “Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle.”
In the brand new adventure Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever…
– Sony Pictures Entertainment
Confession: I hollered laughing when Johnson did the Don’t Cry part AND when Hart flipped out about the backpack holding him back. Them stoopit! Bwaaahahaa!

New Animated Lego Video Game Features Many Marvel Universe Heroes Battling Kang The Conqueror Across Time (Trailer)
May 29, 2017
Ohhhhh! This is a trailer for a video game? I thought it was teasing some kind of epic movie – like how they did the Lego Batman joints. Maybe they will make a Marvel mashup movie down the road. At least we get this dope trailer. Game’s probably fun, too.
Go head-to-head with the time-traveling Kang The Conqueror in an epic battle across Chronopolis, from Ancient Egypt and The Old West to Sakaar and New York City in 2099. Along the way, gamers will be able to take control of a host of iconic characters, from Cowboy Captain America from the past to Spider-Man 2099 from the future along with Thor, Hulk, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Green Goblin, and dozens of other Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains.

Thor calling out Kang The Conqueror though. Epic!

Tom Clancy’s “Ghost Recon Wildlands” Trailer: Open World Of The Wildlands (Video)
February 16, 2017
The once beautiful South American country of Bolivia is now a perilous narco-state; its citizenry suject to lawlessness, fear, and rampant violence every day. But you, Ghost Recon, are going in to change that… armed with your wits, any arms you can get your hands on, and absolutely no support or acknowledgement of your mission. So, are you in?
You may say no in real life, but in the realistic Wildlands, you would definitely consider it. And after you play this latest “Ghost Recon” trailer, you will probably be ready to join up (or at least play the game)!

Assassin’s Creed: “Cafeteria” Clip (Teaser)
December 13, 2016
Nice! Michael K. Williams is right in the middle of things in this upcoming video-game-come-to-screen flick “Assassin’s Creed.” Michael Fassbender plays the lead, but in the teaser above, we are allowed to see the character played by Michael K. figuring prominently in the plot. Both are descended from members of an ancient assassins guild (per the movie namesake’s game franchise’s backstory), but how the characters are pieced together… for or against each other… Well, that’s what the ticket purchase will be for, right?
That, and all the azz-kickery that is sure to be in the movie; given the trailer (we posted on here earlier). “Assassin’s Creed” hits theater screens December 21, 2016.
