Awesome Stop-motion Fight Scene Ignores Newton’s Law of Gravity
Action video makers Corridor Digital have created a very cool fight sequence using stop motion techniques that make it look like gravity was thrown out the window. The scene is super cool and you will certainly want to watch the video below a few times at least.
The entire scene was made with no computer generated graphics, no wires, or any camera trickery (other than hanging the camera from the ceiling). It was made using good old stop-motion and elbow grease. I can only imagine the filming required the actors to lie on the floor for days at a time.
According to the behind the scenes video, it took them five straight 12 hour days to complete. The result is one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time. Fire it up and sit back, you will enjoy.

Japan Responds to Robot Battle Challenge: It’s on!
A robot battle challenge was made last week by MegaBots, Inc. and now Suidobashi Heavy Industry in Japan has responded. It seems that the company likes the idea of pitting their giant robots against each other in a duel. Fight!
Suidobashi founder Kogoro Kurata likes the idea – though he prefers the idea of melee combat versus just blowing each other up with guns. This kind of hype is great marketing after all. So get ready for an international giant robot battle. A brawl to end them all.
We don’t know yet when Kuratas and Mark 2 will have their mammoth battle, but when we learn more, we will let you know. This is going to be the giant robot battle of the century. (So far.)
U.S. Challenges Japan to a Mech Duel
There are several kinds of robots; those that are built scientific research, those that are built for factory tasks, rescue robots, and more. Some are built simply to fight other robots and then laugh at the other guy and brag. MegaBots, Inc. builds the latter.
Megabots’ Mark 2 robot is here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And it’s all out of bubble gum. They have laid down the challenge and if that challenge is accepted, it will fight a robot from Suidobashi Heavy Industry in Japan named Kuratas.
If this fight happens, both teams are going to need to take about a year to retrofit their robots for fighting each other. This is going to something to see. Frankly, I don’t want to be anywhere near these guys when they fight.

Two Roombas in a Knife Fight: Who Will Emerge Victorious?
The latest sport taking the world by storm is Roomba knife fighting. You can see the fight in the video below. Both Roombas have knives taped to them as they try to pop each other’s balloon as if in Mario Kart battle mode. It’s super exciting. Plus when two Roombas fight, your floor gets cleaned twice as fast. Unless they stab you – then you’ll need a Scooba to clean up the blood.
If you do watch this amazing battle you may want to skip to about 2:00 into the video, because the first two minutes is just a lot of talking, like in any sport. Can you guess which color balloon wins? Wanna put money on it?
You know what’s a better sport? Standing drunk, barefoot and blindfolded in the arena as two Roombas knife fight. Nah. bad idea. Do not try that!
To paraphrase from Beyond Thunderdome:
“Listen all! This is the truth of it. Vacuuming leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about dirty floors! But we’ve learned, by the dust of it all… Bartertown learned. Now, when Roombas get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here!
Two Roombas enter; One Roomba leaves!”
