Trifecta of Timepieces....

harry-winston-opus-11 400x369

I like cool watches as much as the next guy. Here are three for you to choose from. If you have so much money that you don't need to ask or care how much this Harry Winston Opus Eleven costs, then it's the perfect watch for you. A ridiculous design that is so complex that it literally explodes on the hour to tell you the time. $250,000

Anarchy takes hold of the hours indication beneath the sapphire-crystal dome every 60 minutes. The numeral of the hour, assembled in the center of the circle, explodes into chaos before instantly reassembling as the new hour. It then remains still until the next disintegration. Instead of a hand, 24 placards revolve and rotate on a complicated system of gears mounted on an epicycloidal gear-train.


TAG Heuer Mikrotimer Flying 1000 Concept Watch
tag-heuer-mikrotimer-1000 400x471

I'm a TAG man myself, but compared to Harry above, this one is found a bit lacking. Regardless, it's the first watch to measure and display 1/1,000th of a second?? wtf? Do you really need to have that?

Citizen Eco-Drive Satellit Wave Watch
citizen-satellite-wave 400x358

ok, this Citizen is interesting. You never have to set your watch. It actually searches from the closest of 24 navigation satellites to set day, date and time. Handy if you travel often. Price TBA.

Backstory

Rostrum was built to fill a gap in the market, the need for a medium-sized bot with a lot of grunt. For most small businesses, a flock of Sprogs was usually adequate to achieve most heavy duty tasks, known as they were for working hard and sharing the load between them. Even large industrial scenarios found this setup ideal, especially when supported by the odd Rotund and Runcible units. Installing Sprogs directly into heavy-lift bodies became a popular choice for the largest factories and recycling companies, but the incredible cost of these custom built mechanisms proved too great for those smaller outfits that needed more punch per tonne.

Cris Rose Rostrum

Designed around the same core as Rotund, the focus of Rostrum's 5 foot frame was on power and robustness. Equipped with 2 huge, interchangeable arms and a thick, armour-plated body, this bot was slow, yet purposeful. The standard model featured a reinforced head that could be used as a battering ram when thrust forward, a feature specifically requested by the emergency services, should the ideal route be through a wall. Manufacturing looked for greater accuracy and control when moving heavy components, so the multi-spectral optics of the precision alignment head was a popular choice. The 3rd standard head choice was the classic holo-projection unit that many had become used to on other models, preferring it for it's familiarity and wide range of applications.

Whether repositioning heavy machinery, crushing boat hulls for recycling or tearing the roof off a blazing hover car to free it's occupants, Rostrum's immense strength and compact size satisfied a wide variety of roles.

Cris Rose Rostrum

However the situation that placed him so fondly in the public eye, was also the least expected. The largest global chain of nightclubs suddenly replaced their entire staff of bouncers with Glossy black Rostrum at every one of their 700 venues. When they weren't terrifying troublemakers before ejecting them bodily, they were doing what everyone had really come to see, breakdancing in formation on specially reinforced iron dancefloors.

FPS Mech: Hawken Gameplay



Brings me back to my Armored Core days...Watch full screen in 720p HD

Adhesive Games is developing Hawken, a new Mech Combat FPS. www.hawkengame.com/blog

There are many aspects of the game, some already finished, that are not shown in this video. However we feel it gives a good first glimpse and are looking forward to releasing more media!

Dogboarding



These people look like they really love animals. I'm not sure how the idea about riding them as a skateboard or roller blades came up? PETA is licking their chops literally.

True Legend Trailer



I have this movie on DVD already. Lots of famous actors and tons of hype. as a martial arts movie, it's ok, but not OMG. Fans of the genre will enjoy to a certain point, but one would think for all this effort, actors and money, they could have come up with a slightly better story line.

Yuen Woo Ping (The Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill Volumes I and II, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero) brings you True Legend, a heart pounding epic about the timeless battle between good and evil. Su Can's (Vincent Zhao) respectable life is obliterated when his vengeful brother, Yuan (Andy On), returns from war armed with the deadly Five Venom Fists. Weakened but not destroyed, Su Can learns a never-before-seen form of martial arts: the Drunken Fist. Armed with this new power, he returns home to honor his family through retribution by taking on his brother in a battle to become the ultimate warrior. Packed with distinct fighting styles--including MMA, knife combat and sweeping aerial stunts-- and starring martial arts legends Michelle Yeoh, David Carradine and Jay Chou.

Fan of Sega's Yakuza 4 Video Game gets replica tattoo from game.

Fans of the Sega's Yakuza video game series will get a kick out of this. An Aussie was either too lazy to come up with his own tattoo ideas OR he's a huge fan of the game. He paid $9,000 to get the same exact dragon tattoo as the main protagonist in the game. hardcore.
