Japan is One Step Closer to G-Gundam

First you need something to translate human movements to another body, then you need scale it up several orders of magnitude so it works on a giant mecha, then you need to put a giant boxing ring satellite system around Earth’s orbit. Only then will we learn how to truly wage war using nothing but our honor and our shining burning fingers.

I’ve actually been following this mad-scientist and his company appropriately named Cyberdyne for a good year or so ever since they first showed off the HAL exoskeletal augmentation unit…yeah, a company named after the company that helped create Skynet in the Terminator universe is making a product that is named after a serial-killing computer. Good choice guys.

Anyways, with all the jokes aside, I find the field of cybernetics and human augmentation fascinating. These people seem to be on the right track as far as helping people out goes, but it’s another story altogether when we (as in the U.S.) begin to weaponize this technology.

Oh wait, we have already.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
