The dutchman's wings are far from being as advanced as a bat wing. Here is a nice article I just read, going into more depth:

And a much much better windtunnel video, representing bat wing movement:
Also, take note that a bat flaps their wings like 15 times a second.

If you apply a little bit of logic, you realise it's fake. The "power assistance" just looks way too dinky to handle the torque that would be required to move those arms that help power the wings. But, even if the assistance is strong enough, the lift is still cancelled out on the upstroke on the wing and once he is airbourne, his legs are off the ground and there is no longer any forward force.
Not to mention the fact that this would have been done years ago, if it were even remotely possible.

I don't know about that. Blowing up half a mountain to lay down a fibre optic cable seems a little rash, to say the least.

I've been waiting for the price to drop but it's taking longer than usual.Rofl... Well, I don't know what you think usual is, but you'll be waiting for a long time for the price to drop below £20.

Link with the coords?

I want some kind of tomahawk or ballistic knife so i can be really tacticool.Think I'll finally pick this game up soon.
Now is a good time, as it's on sale at half price.

Halo was supposed to be a trilogy, and there's a Halo 4 in development... I think. Anyway, a trilogy is rarely, if ever, a trilogy.I think ME3 should have brought the story to a closure. Though, I know that now they have the market, Bioware is undoubtedly thinking about or planned to milk the franchise as much as possible along with the planned movie.
Possibilities I expect are an FPS/RTS on the Krogan rebellions and Rachni War. Though, Commander Shepard and the humans may be an invaluable marketing strength to lose.

Make the galaxy red or blue. Those are your ending choices.
The two minute ending was horrible, I was like "wtf just happened"... And there was very little clues to speculate what would happen if there is to be yet another ME.

The Console and the PC are evolving gaming platforms so where now?Fixed.

If any of you guys want to play the DLC without buying it:
+ parts 2,3,4,5,6 :p
Despite the direction bioware / EA have taken the series. It is still very good. But, they are really really pushing it to the limit....
Another gripe of mine, with a new character at the beginning on insanity things were very tough which was good and also very distressful at certain points which is also probably a good thing, considering the chosen difficulty. However, as you level up, the drop down in difficulty becomes very large and the last missions become easier than some of the first ones where. Just to put things in perspective, I was able to complete the very last mission facing 4/5 brutes while being shot at by a reaper etc on my second attempt. I am thinking if it became this "easy" on insanity (w/ level 45-47) character in role-playing mode, then it really makes me wonder how challenging it must be on any difficulty that is lower.

Started up ArmA 2 OA, today for the first time in a while.
Before deleting the .cfg and profiles I could only get the video memory to show LOW. Afterwards I'm stuck on normal. The only thing that really changed since I last player was an additional 4gb of RAM added (8gb total).
-
The Reapers are probably going for Earth because the Humans are responsible for stopping their invasion in ME1 and then screwing up the creation of a new Reaper in ME2 thus drawing their attention. Alternatively the attack on Earth could be a way to get Shepherd involved as they seem a bit fixated on getting hold of him.Personally I think they are attacking the human colonisations and Earth because they have the greatest threat against them (the alliance), but also because the need to start harvesting more ground troops (husks) to do their dirty work and maybe even complete a human reaper.
-
Anyone else planning on buying this game?Yeah. But, I'll be waiting for a sale or for it to at least drop a little in price (plus that would give the opportunity to play the game after it's been patched a couple times). Only downside is that, I could be waiting a while since I only see the game available on origin.

Aliens who are able to travel through space and time are imo not so interested in human race. Why they should save or even teach human beeing? Those aliens are by far too advanced and too occupied with better things to do than wasting their time/energy with planet earth and its residents/population.What if it's the first planet they come across which has life on? :P

Here comes WW3. Be ready.

Soon Apple will be next its crazy how it hasn't already occurred.Uhm.... Well, you're completely ignorant for thinking it hasn't already occurred. Apple factory workers already have commited suicide and threatened to, multiple times. Just google it. Most of them work for the same electronics company (Foxconn).

Awesome and lmfao.

Iran w/ alien technology. lol.

I wonder what will change the public opinion of the middle east more.
a) Some random video-game set in Iran.
b) Sentencing a video-game designer to death for creating the video-game set in Iran.

Don't US politicians have other stuff to worry about, instead of internet and online piracy?Apparently the only thing they worry about is their next payslip. ;)

Personally think the vietnam version is much more powerful when you consider the different situations that the soldiers where put through.
-
Er... Done?

Thats not true, if there was such a game I would buy it right away.Well, that's kind of ironic. Maybe you didn't care enough to check? :p

dumb math error
Newton's third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. Exactly same thing happens on upstroke and downstroke.
You see, this is a really basic concept of physics that even a small child can understand. Say you're in a rowing boat and just move the paddles/oars (wing oarss if you must) backwards and forwards without taking them out of the water or twisting them... Nothing happens. Now, change the paddles to wings and change the water to air... What happens?
edit:
Tada! Evidence that is fake.

Also, an extra argument he does not have enough forward motion to be able to lift his legs up straight. The mass displacement would change the centre of gravity and cause the man to tilt upright without enough drag created to counter it. + don't forget the other thousand things already mentioned in this thread. And, I'd like to add to the fact that a hand glider takes ~25kph to glide, this design is much weaker with less wingspan, tension and surface area... For this to work i'd speculate that it'd take at least 50kph for it to even glide (assuming he has the correct aerodynamics), which he is clearly not achieving.
