/Film Receives A Package From SKYNET

Posted on Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

skynet research

Last week I received an e-mail about a new website called SkynetResearch.com. Anyone who has seen the Terminator films knows that Skynet is an artificial intelligence computer system that, in the future, will be responsible for killing most of the human race. Apparently the company exists and is currently beta testing a new robotic enhancement module called the Model 101. The site allows you to request a module to help with their research.

I put in a  request last week, not expecting them to actually send me the module. But today as I was leaving to grab food, I found a package addressed to me from SkyNet Research. Followers on Twitter said it might be a trap, and warned me not to open it, but I decided to do so anyways. What is in the box? You can watch my live video unboxing after the jump.

I grabbed my Flip Mino and literally recorded the video as I was coming in the door, so please excuse the fact that I haven’t shaved in a few days. If I had known I would be recording something for the site, I would have made myself more representable. Also, you can watch a video from Skynet’s website explaining what the Module 101 is below:

Head on over to SkyNet Research to take part in the end of the human race.

    It's neat that you got a garage door opener, but how is SkyNet supposed to eradicate humanity by opening and closing garage doors?
  • i hope wall-e doesn't kill peter in his sleep.

    Hey Peter, you should submit the video to their website under the video submission form.
  • Yes, his name is Cat :P
  • hasn't that word been used everywhere else before slashfilm!? I'm just sayin...
  • hahahaha.
    Grizzly Peter is still awesome.
  • Just Saying
    Actually, a lot of video game and tech sites regularly post "unboxing videos". For example, every new Apple product usually has unboxing videos.
  • Cat was definitely the best part of the video.
  • jdub

  • directive:KILL
    Bwahaha! You snatched your cat's styrofoam peanut away before he even got a chance to figure out what it was XD If your Wall-E's stomach opens then maybe you could put the laser inside.
    Cool that you got a model from them!! They're pretty nice guys considering they'll be partly responsible for the deaths of many people. :p

    Grizzly Peter DID have a beard...
  • february
    anyway, just now, i visited the site...and in the "product" section, when i left the page for a while, a box for entering the password appeared...anyone knows the password? maybe the viral campaign has begun!
  • Looks like the masses have to actually create a robot to receive a module...
  • Nice! /Film goes Cloverfield/Blair Witch Project!!!!
  • I plan on naming my dog Cat. Great name.
  • It seems that if you mouse-over the Products header on that page, the password box pops up. There is code for it clearly visible in the source code, but I don't see the password in there. It's listed as #easteregg, though. Has anyone figured out the password?
  • edc
    so then it isn't a wifi/bluetooth camera or anything?
    I appreciate you 'playing a part', as I did when I submitted a robot design from my 'research lab' "WINSTON engineering", but I would like to know if this actually does anything.
  • do not eat the peanut!
  • Mostskillz
    Great video. Never thought WALL-E would participate in taking over the world. Bastard!!
  • Wow......but im still waiting to see if this thing is going to kill peter in his sleep!
