Posted by kerwinste, at 07:00PM 08/19/08 : Frankenreview: Too Human
Note: Too Human has been in development for more than a decade by Denis Dyack and the crew at Silicon Knights. The kick-off for the Cybernorse trilogy was critically panned when previews hit and Dyack was quick to attack those who dug into the early code. But now the game is in stores and there's no more room for excuse making. We've gathered together a cross-section of critical analysis from across the web to try and find a bit of insight into whether the game is worth buying and playing. tags: too human

Posted by raana41, at 07:24PM 08/18/08 : Jean Yves Blondeau, Rollerman
Note: Meet French designer Jean-Yves Blondeau. He’s invented the Buggy Rollin’ suit. It’s a suit that attaches wheels to every part of the body. All the major joints, chest and back become roller skates. This allows one to travel in almost any position.
This strange contraption has earned Blondeau the name Rollerman.
But Blondeau isn’t satisfied cruising sidewalks. He takes his suit to the extreme. He’s recorded a top speed of nearly 70 mph. He puts that speed to use in this video. You’ll see him rocket down a twisting road in the Swiss Alps.

Note: It was the invention of the future - a tiny machine complete with its own map that would tell motorists which way to go. But this was no GPS, it was a wristwatch-style device equipped with minuscule maps. It is one of the labour and face-saving devices to go on display from a private collection of weird and wonderful gadgets from the past. tags: took
