    That's worryingly similar to how I remember my couple of trips to Amsterdam. Although it was colder when I went.

    It's about time for IO9 to do a "Triviagasm" on brains in a jar: for sure it's a recurring SF/horror trope.

    And really... aren't we ALL just brains in jars?

    Loving it. I suppose the normal route for this suit would be haulage/warehouse work. Does that mean we will need a licsence to drive it? Personally I would love to see an extreme version of robot wars!

    Seems mostly like vaporware.

    220 pounds? I can lift that, and I'm fat, old, out of shape, and asthmatic. This'll be useful when it lifts 1000 pounds, the low end of forklift capacity.

    @MonkeyT: No, I can't. However, we don't know if this thing can yet, either - power supply is bound to be a problem.

    The main fault with the idea from my perspective is that it seems unlikely that using these light-duty exoskeletons will ever be a better choice than just yelling "Hey, Fred! Give me a hand with this thing?"

    Upon being greenlit for active duty, a new Military By-law now prevents anyone from saying the words "Get away from her, you bitch" at any time during operation of the Power-loader.

    Add a roll cage and Caterpillar treads and it would be exactly like the Aliens Power Loader.

    In reply to The Last Temptation Of Jean-Claude Van Damme
    This movie reminds of the film "Nemesis" but I'm not sure why. I mean, besides the whole post-apocalyptic mad-max setting, with the hero being a martial arts expert who would rather fight with his feet than with weapons. Other than that, I can't really see any resemblance.

    @Jack of all Tirades R.O.A.C.H.: Probably because they're both made by the same director, Albert Pyun, and the lead actor has a heavy European accent. Nemesis is one of my favorite guilty pleasures though. I love it even more than Cyborg. State of the f*ing art, Alex!

    If there's a greater movie than Cyborg, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme

    Yeah, it's called Timecop.
