The New York Post has recently published an article about the US army’s vision for soldiers of the future. Visually it looks like something out of Halo or a storm trooper from Star Wars and according to the article:

Aided by “smart drugs,” enhanced with prosthetics, and protected by a lightweight suit of armor, this soldier of the future possesses near super-human capabilities and weapons that would make even Iron Man jealous. He’s suited up in an “exoskeleton” - essentially a Storm Trooper-esque external shell - that allows him to carry heavy loads. Electronics integrated in his outfit allow for simultaneous language translation, automatic identification of potential foes, and video-game-like targeting.

Let me start off by apologizing for the lack of any posts in the last month, only one of us wrote something, ONE whole post! Pathetic! Hopefully I can make amends this month although in my defense I’ve kept myself busy writing in our WoW section. Speaking of WoW as you all know last week where the Oscars, personally I didn’t watch it because I can’t be arsed to watch actors rub their (un)deserved movie-peens. What do the Oscars have to do with WoW? One of the winners apparently is a player of the popular MMO. Read the rest of this entry »

At PETA’s Proggy awards they’ve announced Fable 2 as the “Most Animal-Friendly Video Game” for 2008. For those of you who do not know who or what PETA represents, they’re an animal rights group based in the United States boasting over 2 million members.

On their website the following is said about Microsoft’s Fable 2: “Created by Microsoft Game Studios, Fable 2 is a vegetarian’s dream come true. Why?
