Spoiler: Them fucking portals, man (click to show/hide)

So um... This happened...
Apparently it's completely 100% real. If not it's an impressive fake.

I'm pretty sure it's a back to the future-homage fake.

Magnets, how do they work?

My guess is impressive fake. Would be cool if real.

[Pnx]

A bit of brief googling indicates that the legal section of the site contains the words, "HUVr does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the information, materials or services provided on or through this web site."
and,
"In addition, the information and materials on this website may contain inaccuracies and typographical errors. HUVr does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such information and materials or the reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other information displayed or distributed through the site. You acknowledge that any reliance on any such opinion, advice, statement, memorandum, or information shall be at your sole risk. "

Which may either be legitimate ass covering, or just an attempt to give themselves Blanche Carte to lie as much as they like. They're also extremely vague about how it's supposed to work, apart from the fact that it supposedly contains "more technology that went into the satellites orbiting the earth"... and by vague they don't specify how it works at all, except it supposedly uses the power of "antigravity".

There's also absolutely no way to pre-order the things, which should be a gigantic red flag right there. Anyone legitimately looking to sell a product like this would be trying to get people to pre-order at high prices as soon as possible.

I call BS mostly because between being a nerd myself and having an engineer for a mother I read way too many technology publications (popular, scholarly, and trade) to have conceivably missed something like this in all of them.

[Dutchling]

That's as real as my mom's virginity.

[kaijyuu]

They're a month early for April Fools.

That's as real as my mom's virginity.

Oh, she was artificially inseminated?

Nah, Dutchling just came out as Jesus...

[Dutchling]

Well, I am the son of God, so that's actually not as unlikely as it seems.

[Darvi]

Aaand now I know why Vec wants to 100% this game.

[Sirus]

According to TVTropes you can actually 101% it :3

[Darvi]

I never understood why that actually is a thing. If you have still one more percent to get, you don't actually have 100% do you.

[Dutchling]

Speaking of MAry's virgin birth, I've always been led to believe that while Mary was still a virgin during Jesus' divine insemination, she no longer was when she gave birth to the big J.
