Ah yes, the Big Dog. I like the part where it slips on ice.

Great... So on the day that the robots attack, they can hunt us down like dogs... lol...
That is really some impressive tech they are using to balance the thing... However, it looked more like a giant ant than a dog to me... and sounded like a bee on meth.. :P

Time to save up some money, LOL. Reminds me of an awesome robot I saw on the science channel, but it's huge and seats a one man driver.
I'm cold and calculating. Don't press my buttons.

Wow, so not only is Half Life real, but so is Metal Gear Solid! We all know that this will lead to the building of a giant mech harnessing multiple nuclear warheads. Strange things are not only afoot at the circle K, but also at Shadow Moses Island:

Wow, I am very impressed by this thing's ability to compensate so intelligently. It looks like it's a real creature with no capability to get angry or anything like that. I mean, when the guy kicked it, I thought that it reacted just like a real 4-legged creature. Or when it slipped on the ice, same thing. It was very impressive to me, but kinda creepy!

Well, it looks like it's designed to go where humans can't. I mean, it's not quiet, so it's obviously not meant for any stealth stuff right? And it doesn't look like it's meant to be ridden (no riders) because it doesn't look useful for that. It just looks like it's useful for maybe reconnaissance or some dangerous operation. Of course, I also imagine one of those is rather expensive, so if this was designed for the military, then I'm betting that it has some impressive, yet not-so-obvious armor.
Perhaps they'll be able to make it silent so it can get in really close and possibly record audio for intelligence gathering.
But, if this wasn't designed for the military, then it's probably just a really silly toy meant to show-off what we're capable of making these days.
