At least the Terminators to come will know how to play games.
And I’d like to remind Skynet that as an IT Professional, I could be very helpful in finding and rounding up any meatbag dissenters to toil in your underground factories. Hail Skynet!

Pretty cool, although also kind of sad that we have to invent machines to play games on our behalf.
You have seen Big Dog, right? Link not safe for those prone to nightmares. Imagine a giant fly crossed with a camel, or two mimes committed to the torments of pack animal hell.
EDIT: OK, you mentioned Bigdog in text. I am an idiot.

No, we invent machines to organize data on our behalf or fight wars on our behalf.
Games are just what we use to test them.

You know, it would be interesting to see Skynet bots that had their original purposes adapted to the destruction of humans. You know, accessing older programming like this for larger bots. Not that my interest is enough to desire another cinematic atrocity of the John Connor series.
Niwot-based Crocs Inc. announced today that it has donated 100,000 pairs of shoes to Feed The Children and other organizations, which will work to distribute to those hardest hit by the recent earthquake and resulting tsunami.

Pong app is pretty damned cool, actually; I’d be fascinated to learn of the sensor that tells the bot how to maneuver into place (first guess, it’s in/on the ping pong ball sending the signal of “here I am”).

Oh, here’s the much more endearing BigDog Beta.

From the lab site, I gather it’s external cameras and computers.

I know there’s a Winona Ryder Ping Pong Ball joke here, but I just lack the comedy-fu to pull it off.

PONG THE MACHINE! So that’s what it was.

I would prefer slamcopter, based off of William Gibson’s slamhounds (1986).

Wait no link to snakebot ? If snakebot is half as cool as big dog, I am planning to betray my species and join forces with the robots.
