This is why we can’t have nice things
When I read that EA sent out a press kit for Godfather II that included real brass knuckles, I thought to myself: that is ridiculously cool. Apparently, now they're recalling all of them due to questionable legality of the contents. I understand, from one perspective that you can't publically agree with sending out potentially illegal weapons but the other side of me hates the fact that the legal structure constantly prohibits overwhelming acts of coolness. I say you send a nice thank you letter in the return shipping box and keep the knuckles.
EA would like its brass knuckles back, please - Ars Technica

Not-So-Distant-Future Weapons
So between new fighter pilot helmets that sync with exterior cameras to offer an x-ray view of the plane and prototype exoskeletons to enable heavy lifting with ease I'm putting Mark I Mjolnir armor at an ETA of 10 years -- max. All I need now is adaptive analytical A.I. in a video game that dynamically suggests cover options and weapon choice. I want to see how many countries the United States will bully once these suits are completed. It's hard to say no when the next day you'll have an army of bullet proof master chiefs storming your living room.
NOTE: Is it me or do those helmets look tight as hell. A little remodelling for style and I'd just wear that all the time. They're so cyborg-ninja-esque...
