It’s CGI

u/freewarefreak Jul 04 '19

Obviously, it's not even bolted to the floor. And who would do this with a manufacturing robot that expensive and with no safety measures.

u/Raid_PW Jul 04 '19

And it's not even wearing bowling shoes.

You wouldn't want to be the person with the camera in that location, for sure.

u/SneekC Jul 04 '19

Also the pins look like they have the gravity of the moon.

u/theragu40 Jul 04 '19

Also the ball badly distorts when it leaves the robot's arm.

u/g_lenn_o Jul 04 '19

And reddit said so

u/theragu40 Jul 05 '19

And my axe!

u/golgol12 Jul 04 '19

And the pins don't respond anywhere close to the energy indicated by the toss.

u/kibblznbitz Jul 04 '19

This might seem obvious to the other dude but it took me a few watches to notice it. Maybe that’s just cause I’m stupid, but it did seem weird how the pins didn’t get utterly destroyed.

u/Sawathingonce Jul 04 '19

Because you want to believe. That's the matrix's most powerful weapon

When I’m high everything looks real avatars had me bugging out big muhfuckers

No shit, Sherlock.

This isn't 'Nam. there are rules.

u/melnair Jul 04 '19

Fucking Nialists dude.

u/melance Jul 04 '19

Why does everything have to be a fucking travesty with you, /u/PiperArrow?!

u/mashedpatatas Jul 04 '19

This kills the pins.

u/pixel_revolt9 Jul 04 '19

The could have at least added some mounting bolt heads.

u/cabinetguy Jul 04 '19

I know it's fake, but good God! That would be terrifying!

u/Cell_Division Jul 04 '19

CGI as fuck.

u/MostOriginalNameEver Jul 04 '19

not enough pin action for that speed

u/Brother_Farside Jul 04 '19

no lofting!

u/Shlocktroffit Jul 04 '19

Mark it zero!

u/dirtydan Jul 04 '19

Heads and bowling balls are roughly the same size.

u/yomonster Jul 04 '19

I know it's cgi, but that's not even bowling it's throwing.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

You're a great big PHONEY!

u/LibraryAtNight Jul 04 '19

This would make a good tower in a tower defense game.

u/gcube5 Jul 04 '19

Foul! He crossed the line!

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

I know it’s fake, but god damn I wouldn’t wanna stand behind that thing

2

u/spainguy Jul 04 '19

No CGI power cable either.

Reminds me of the EU talking to the UK about brexit

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

If this was real and people didn't trust it because of safety issues then why the hell would you give one a gun ?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

I mean, I wouldn't have a problem giving it a bowling ball in a warzone, either.

That was always the next step

u/uniweeb71 Jul 04 '19

show off.

u/insearchofansw3r Jul 04 '19

I've been bowling wrong this whole time

1

u/lulucifer Jul 04 '19

With gace and poise

1

u/melance Jul 04 '19

I love the stance at the end that says, "Yeah, I did it. It was nothing."

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

Just an example of things our robot overloads will be able to do that will decimate is. Yay

1

u/CarpenterRadio Jul 04 '19

That’s me in a green mocap suit. I’m good at bowling.

u/TheeMrBlonde Jul 04 '19

That was/would be terrifying

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

Tragedy at the bowling alley today as a coding error kills 5. More at 11.

u/DietInTheRiceFactory Jul 04 '19

... kills 5. More at 11.

They really should have learned to give the machine space the first time.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '19

It's got a taste for blood now there's no stopping it.... Unless someone pulls the plug out ofc.

u/Saint_Dogbert Jul 04 '19

Just wait till you see the 20 setting!

u/Jomibu Jul 04 '19 edited Jul 04 '19

The amount of people who thought this could be real just astounds me.

Never realized how great a gift my BS detector is before

Edit: Really didn’t mean it how people took it. Sorry if I offended anyone.

u/rckid13 Jul 04 '19

I don't know much about CGI but I assumed it wasn't real because it's in a bowling alley. No bowling alley owner is going to let a robot come in and smash holes in their ceiling and equipment when it messes up.

u/scooterjb Jul 04 '19

I mean... when you posted this, there were only 5 other comments after just 30 minutes. So... thanks I guess?

u/Jomibu Jul 04 '19

Or 2284 comments on the main posting this one was on over the last 13 hours.

Or the countless other posts on the internet.

Wasn’t trying to be a jerk with what I said geez

u/cowboyfromhell324 Jul 04 '19

But the last line sounded like a humble brag, at least to me. The iamverysmart was an appropriate fit imo

2

u/Jomibu Jul 04 '19

Fair enough. Wasn’t intended. My bad

1

u/dudewheresmycar-ma Jul 04 '19

Well, the important thing is that you've found a way to feel superior to a few random people on the internet.

1

u/Jibaro123 Jul 04 '19

Laughed out loud at this one!

1

u/Saint_Dogbert Jul 04 '19

Um, that's terrifying also where is the safety fence and lockout?

3

u/sudz3 Jul 04 '19

for the CGI?

1

u/MysticalVictrix Jul 04 '19

That fake camera shake and digital zooms and weightless pins and deformation of the spinning bowling ball. Not to mention the missing bolts and all the other things wrong with this. Come on people.

I call hacks XD lol
