Naked Florida man opens fire on SWAT bot with AK-47, no kidding
"Investigators say they've never dealt with a naked man attacking a robot before." So starts perhaps the most insane local news story we've ever heard. According to an ABC affiliate in Florida, a disgruntled man, sporting nothing more than his birthday suit and an AK-47, opened fire on a robot last week, after threatening to shoot himself and anyone who crossed the threshold of his home. The $65,000 SWAT bot was sent in to investigate, and captured every inch of the man on video before being pumped full of bullets. Deputies say the man eventually surrendered fully-clothed and was taken for a mental evaluation. No word yet on when or if the footage will be released in a Robo COPS: Disrobed and Dangerous Special Edition. For now, you can check out video at the source link below.
PlayStation Home integrates into games, beginning with SOCOM Confrontation
We've seen many games unlock new content in PlayStation Home, like the Batcave from Batman: Arkham Asylum. However, what we haven't seen yet is the ability to unlock content in-game from Sony's online world. That changes this week, with the addition of the SOCOM OPFOR game space. A Home-exclusive minigame will challenge players to assemble an assault rifle in 12 seconds or less. The prize? A golden AK-47 that can be transferred into SOCOM Confrontation. Likely, this is just the beginning for expanded Home integration. Associate Producer KC Coleman commented on the PlayStation Blog: "It's truly a win-win-win situation. It's a win for Home because we have opened up a huge door that will allow developers to continue to blur the line between PlayStation Home and PS3 games." See a trailer after the break.
See the Wiimote AK-47 mod
This video was released a couple of months ago, but if there's one thing we can't pass up it's a great sight gag. You have to respect a guy who would go through all the trouble of merging a Wiimote and a plastic AK-47 just so he could use the butt of the gun to smash the noses of the titular critters in Rayman Raving Rabbids.What's more, the modder actually goes through the trouble of teaching you how to tie a shemagh to help increase the verisimilitude of your experience. What a value![Thanks, overflow]
The AK-47 Walkie Talkie phone
The AK-47 Walkie Talkie phone is the perfect thing for that urban warrior on your gift list, featuring a built in dual band 900 / 1800 GSM phone and working Walkie Talkie all bundled in a slick retro handset. Packed in its cleverly designed carrying case -- replete with a Chinese Army red star -- is the handset, headset, USB cable, instruction booklet (in Chinese only), and thanks to the belt strap, it's ready to accent any modern military ensemble. With a huge 6800 mAh battery, this 255 gram handset will give you one month of standby time or 30 to 50 hours of talk time, which is ideal for really extended assignments or cross-country treks. Rounding out a pretty full list of specs is a 2.2 inch touchscreen, 2 megapixel "shooter" (that's a pun, get it?), GPRS connectivity, MP3 ringtones, LCD flashlight, and a microSD slot that supports up to 1GB. All of this mighty backwoods mojo can be yours for the paltry sum of $225.
