    I think it might be a good idea to add this or a similar video for the specials. Why? Because most people won't believe that anybody could move like this without 3 cables and some springs attached! And I think the animations in the trailer are probably the best I've ever seen - because it is just within the limits of what the human body can do. Forget Kill Bill... :D

    Great advertisement, thank you AZO and thanks Eka for sharing the link!

    PS: Made a small gif. I know, it's bumpy at best but still... :)

    Lol! Awesome work Col_Jessep! When you say specials, are you talking about the character's grapple moves?

    Really cool vid. Nice insight on those animations, I would have never guessed how you came up with those.

    Thx! I was thinking about a short 'making of' video. Would be good for two things:
    - You could put it on site like http://www.gametrailers.com/ maybe with a nice interview or something.
    - It would fit nicely as special content on the DVD.

    I think many players would see the game with different eyes if they knew that AZO actually can pull off these moves for real. You see a lot of crazy animations in JRPGs but they are usually unrealistic. AZOs animations on the other hand are not only first class but also within the limits of what the human body is really capable of. (Well, his body. I'd break a lot of bones instead... :D) I think it would add a lot to the game to know that the animations are not just made up moves that have never left the digital environment of 3DS. Just an idea...

    And please call me CJ Eka, less to type... ;)

    That's frickin hilarious. Fair warning now though, I will hire a pack of ninjas to recover AZO if you guys ever try to ship him out from Uber. ;)

    What CliffyB doesn't know: AZO will bring two deadly weapons, a toothpick and a paper-clip, ninja CliffyB and take over Epic.

    Meanwhile Scathis is deployed and shows Blizzard how to make Starcraft II and WoW into fun games. Shamed to the bone the Blizzard designers use part of the WoW money to build an ark and leave for the Andromeda galaxy. Scathis finds the keys to the vault in a coffee mug.

    Eka makes a believable blood-spatter texture for Dragon Age. BioWare's developers loose all hope and fall onto their pencils, leaving Eka in charge.

    All that is left to do for neutrino is to get his plans for an ultimate OS from the garage. MS, Apple and Google give up without a fight and transfer their shares to Uber:

    World Domination! :D

    I find this style of locomotion utterly confounding.
