The amount of detail we like to see in our technology porn variates with levels of geekiness. Lower level enthusiasts will lust at the lastest supercar while hardcore fans could be caught jerking off to the Large Hadron Collider. (That's a joke by the way, I don't know anyone who would do that.)
So the point of this blog is to share the coolest piece of technology porn I've seen in a while.
The Nanosuit 2. (link) If you click around on the site, it also includes a fake brochure. Crytek actually won some design award for putting so much effort into this. The new suit doesn't just physically enhance the wearer, but it injects doses of dopamine and adrenaline to ensure the soldier is as battle-ready as possible. There's also countless pseudo-scientific explanations on how the suit lets you bend metal, run faster than a speeding train and leap very tall distances.It's all ridiculous, but very interesting. If you read my post a few days ago, reading about this stuff is another prime way to waste time. Crysis 2 comes out in December this year (just in time for summer holidays). In the mean time, there's some pretty awesome trailers on Youtube and there should be some demos in E3, on June.
