Refined MGS4-trailer and Chair Robot Mech

I do got tons of shit to write about. I mean, I do. Seriously! But since it’s so friggin’ hot at my flat, I’ve been writing things down on paper instead, since I can’t sit too long in front of the PC when I break a sweat. Why? I just can’t, ok? It’s not like I’m one of those freaks who can’t be out in the sun. It’s just that my brains tend to do some shortcuts when I get warmer, like the trolls in Discworld does - the colder, the smarter. I blame that on my growing up in Northern Norway, also known as Land of the Vikings or Freezing Me Balls Off Country.

Since I still can roam the web while at work, I found two links of common interest - robots and mechs. Check ‘em out here:

The Hubo FX-1 chair bot! Amazing. Who’d want to ever get up and stand ever again? With this one you can go anywhere (as long as there’s enough room - when the rocket-packs come too that won’t be a problem) while sitting down, enjoying a good book, a cup of coffee or just yourself. It’s Brilliant with a capital B.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - PS3 trailer! This one made me drool. It’s the same trailer as before, but now with refined PS3-graphics. I’d suggest everyone - even your grandmother if you’ve got one - to check it out. The last minutes of fighting is worth the whole 13 minutes too. This is the game that makes me want to buy a PS3, but my economic state at the moment kills this lust fast.

Enjoy the links and I’ll go out and celebrate the summer with co-workers, free beer and free barbeque-food. I’ll eat till I puke, and then eat some more.
