@kyre: It's last years model. Thing probably doesn't even support the latest OS release. I think I saw a few like it on Craigslist...

@Canon7D-Fanboy: Not really. I work in the industry. Even the best moulage, SFX makeup, and bio set dressing breaks down the second you actually examine them in the slightest.

@tetracycloide: No, that would be Defend the House.

@OtherTimes: You, sir or madame, have won a cookie. Feel free to claim it the next time you're in Los Angeles.
