This week in "People Looking Awkward in VR tech" features me in a headset and giant, fluffy, penguin wings. Part of a VR showcase touching on the potential applications of what everyone's talking about, this is an elaborate penguin robot controller....
“AWWWWW! That’s the most adorable hyper-violent execution I’ve ever seen” you’ll say once you see the penguin version of the legendary Judge Dredd in action. Why designers Daniel Balmforth and Steve Scholz decided to create this creature and hand it off to Joe Amaro for painting, we’ll never know.

How about an emperor, incubating his baby or stealing someone else’s (while shooting the crap out of armed gang members). Does he know no fear of land animals, because his habitat doesn’t include any land-going predators? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED!
If you can uncover any further information regarding the species and abilities of Penguin Dredd, please let us know. If you want, you can buy him for $40 here.
