New Gadgets and Gizmos

Well folks, it’s been nice knowing you, but we’re officially as good as dead. The robot apocalypse is upon us and our new overlords will not stop until every last one of us has been dragged in and chopped to bite sized pieces by these monstrosities. Currently “owned” by the Tokyo fire department, these “Robokiyu” (sound it out — it means robot that kills you) bots were designed to “rescue” people from any situation. As you can see, rescuing is as simple as being grabbed by the neck with their throat-piercing arms and dragged into their digestive system (read: rotating blades of death). I, for one, am not going to sit back and wait for the robots to destroy me. I’m fighting back. Namely by creating a race of cyborgs that fight on the side of humans. I’ve already sowed my wild oats with no less than two Roombas, an iPod, an RC tank, and my roommate’s DVD player. Speaking of which, I think the DVD player is finally giving birth. At last, the first of my cyborg offspring!

UPDATE: False alarm. It was just the Aliens vs. Predator DVD stuck in the player.

A couple more pictures of the last thing you’ll see before being devoured, after the jump.
