Excellent show on the History Channel:

Quote :

"Between 1939 and '45, the world was locked in a nightmare struggle of unprecedented ferocity. When the smoke from WWII cleared, bizarre stories emerged of extraordinary armaments dreamt up by both sides' most inventive minds--weird weapons unlike anything before. New ways of bringing destruction to the enemy were born of desperation and wild imagination. And in a world gone mad, nothing seemed too strange to try. Axis powers tested a strange range of weapons: a vortex cannon designed to tear wings off aircraft, an assault rifle that could shoot round corners, a death ray that could boil people alive, and most bizarre of all, an army in space."

I loved the segment about the "bat bomb." I had never heard of it before, but it's amazing how it actually went through complete development.

^ Um. . .I figured you could just check the TV schedule. And there is a schedule tab in the link provided.

At any rate, it comes on tonight (Monday morning) at 3 a.m. on channel 56. I guess it's not a regularly scheduled program, because I don't see any other listings.

Thats awesome, the guy who did that video did some art for a game I was working on when he was at milestone.

The two Allesandros (sp?) in the credits also did animations for us (they both worked at milestone as well).

He is one of the most talented CG guys I have ever known.
