    @lightninglouie: I don't know that I'd go so far as EPIC FAIL, but it does detract from the awesomeness.

    This is a WIN and a BIG WIN, but Fizzgig would have made it EPIC WIN.

    Very nice. Looks like it's been up for a while too.
    Annalee, we totally have to get some shots of that one on Mission & 19th. I'd borrow a camera but my reverse-anti-vampire traits keep me from capturing anything but me on film.

    Why would Skynet make them so inhumanly tall and beefy? Wouldn't make them really easy to spot as they tried to infiltrate human populations?


    Think of the tallest, beefiest, fattest human and that's the upper limit in terms of credible size. Humans aren't going to let obvious 3 meter high giants in the door, plastic skin or not.

    @corpore-metal: These are meant to be the super-primitve models before Skynet perfected the technology. McG keeps comparing it to a huge clunky computer that was the precursor of your tiny MacBook Air (and which probably crashed less often. :) )
