New Force Unleashed 2 trailer shows Vader doing what he does best 12 June 2010 at 1:45 am by admin

Darn that Darth Vader — sure, he’s a Sith Lord who betrayed his master, will blow up a planet without a second thought, and even threatens to kill his own soldiers, but honestly, you just can’t trust the guy. This brand new E3 trailer from LucasArts for Force Unleashed 2 shows the game’s protagonist Starkiller getting betrayed by ol’ helmethead yet again, and then lightsaber slicing and dicing his way out of a whole heap of space trouble. We already knew that Starkiller would be dual-wielding lightsabers in the game, and while this trailer is vague to say the least, it does hint at why we’re seeing him whole and hale again, instead of the (spoiler) less-than-lively state we saw him in at the end of the last game.

+ Commandos To Use Plasma Knives For Field Surgery [Lightsabers] By admin 15 October 2009 at 1:20 am and have No Comments

Apparently plasma knives, surgical instruments which have glowing, ionized gas as a blade, have passed Special Operations Command’s field testing and evaluation stages. Great! Now how much longer until this tech can be used to make real lightsabers? The plasma knives are vaguely similar to tools currently used in radiosurgery, but rather than heating tissue directly and damaging it, they penetrateand cauterize it safely
