Guggenheim museum in Bilbo (looks pretty ugly to me honestly)

The giant spider in front doesn't help either.

wow, that's old school. i remember sinking quarters into this piece of shit and never quite knowing what to do lol.

Same. I first saw it at this really crappy mexican food restaurant.

For a 50 year old design you have to love the Harrier, the little jet that could. <3

 

[Jason Frost]

These fire trucks

Remind me of 80/90's Lego.

Speaking of guns:

United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel still feels like futuristic architecture even though it was opened 1962.

Looks like the Brotherhood of NOD.

Edit: The Dutch built a suspended bicycle overpass.

I remember seeing a similar looking thing in Shanghai. Not suspended though.

Looky

I've always had a thing for "special" doors in games and movies.
I just love seeing unique and awesome door types, like those "eye" doors in golden eye.

I love this thread.

THAT'S IT!
I was like, where the heck have i seen something like this? Very futuristic... but also so familiar..

Ah the FAMAS, for the gentleman/lady who can't afford an M4.

Edit: The Dutch built a suspended bicycle overpass.

I'm Dutch, and I have no idea where that thing is situated.

This could straight-up fire lasers and wouldn't look out of place.

 

[mikeyw85]

A Dodge M4S looks more futuristic than that does:

That's what futuristic looked like in the 80's.

 

[Woorloog]

It is a laser gun. A temporary blinding laser to be precise. Supposedly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personnel_halting_and_stimulation_response_rifle
BTW, North Korea has, supposedly, bought laser blinders (not these PHASRs though, which are prototypes), which are forbidden by treaties, so weaponized lasers do exists in some form already.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

80's/early 90's cyberpunk future is the best and only future.

and it's coming true

I love it!

wanna go for a swim?

Man if I ever get rich, the first thing I'm putting in my mansion is an Infinity pool. Was in one in Hawaii. Such a neat thing.

 

[Fafalada]

To be fair there's no steep cut-off there (like with most infinity pools, it's an illusion) - but it does look cool even when you swim in it.

On topic though:

Lucas may not be a great script writer - but he left an interesting legacy

What about the Mercedes-Benz BIOME ?

unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2010. Here's how the official press release described the vehicle: "The Mercedes-Benz BIOME grows in a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a nursery. Out on the road the car emits pure oxygen, and at the end of its lifespan it can be simply composted or used as building material."

Spoiler

Ughhhhhhhhhhh...... SCIENCE!

How does the wheel work? It seems to be completely covered and if not then the cover is very close to the ground.


EDIT: Ok I see how it works now the cover only looks like it's covering entirely. Still it's very close to the ground.

For some reason it looks like a low polygon prolapsed anus to me.

It's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that the Falcons have paying fans and can afford to build new things...

Both outstanding responses lmao

Just a wild guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was public funding involved.
I could be wrong though.

The XM8 had the tendency to melt in the heat so I'd say that's a good thing. Special Operations forces ended up sticking with the M4A1 or the HK416 anyways for their 5.56 weapons. SCAR-H is used as a 7.62 Battle Rifle.

Anyways have some armor:

I see there have been a couple of Santiago Calatrava works posted. He designed the new university I am working at now. Amazing seeing the progress.

IIRC Malaysian special forces... or was it Indonesian? Ah, well some place bought XM8s for their special forces, so presumably the issue has been solved.

[Ecto311]

Used to drive those at my last job. Ill see if i have any pictures from the inside of the cab. New guys would shit their pants when we would have to go backward up a hill with a full load. Dumping it the ass end would come off the ground till we let it down a bit and start rolling away from the clinker we were hauling. Never bothered me but the new people especially kids outta school would almost never make it past a few days because you are looking straight down out of the cab waiting for the bed to lower - they were almost standing on the front window looking down.

The future is wearable!

For us dystopia-dwelling civvies-

And for our corporate-sponsored overlords:

First pic is a kickass diving exo-suit specially designed for quite serious depth, it weighs 530 lbs/240 kg!

The soldiers in the second pic are wearing ballistic masks, the future faces of your friendly neighbourhood PMC enforcers

And, the soldiers in the third pic look like they're wearing the active-camouflage facial veil from Ghost in the Shell.

T-55 Hurricane does a a bit of a futuristic vibe to it:

PL-01 Polish Concept

Here's a video of that PL-01 concept.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrDeqJPBNkk

It's based on the Swedish CV90 IFV-platform. The thermal camouflage-part is already real and functional, just crazy expensive.

The H&K G11 that never got out of experimental prototypes, even if it had better performances than the G3.

I think it had to do with the Caseless ammunition that wasn't like anything else at the time.

The issue was, IIRC, the cost, the logistics (it was the only weapon using caseless ammo), electric firing system that required batteries, and some issues with the caseless ammo cooking off.

 

[Gallbaro]

Brasilia is one of my favourite examples of this. It's not only about the individual architecture, but the whole city is completely planned and built using the modernist principles.

The planning of the city was largely a disaster.

 

[Stet]

The only thing that would make this better is if at the end the hand closed, the bottle shattered and the man looked shocked.

 

[Rad-]

The best thing about this is that his hand won't get cold or wet... well, it will, but it won't bother him.

How about modifying the hand so that it can keep the beer cold.

Or turn the hand to warm and you can do the stranger's hand.

Did I just become genius?
