    If you make roughly 200 coins in a run, it's 125 runs to unlock the Indiana Jones Guy.
    SO GUYS.

    I did 10 runs, averaged 340.8 coins per run.

    At that rate, it'd take me 74 runs to unlock him.

    Do they think you're ruining our country a little more with every visit? I would think you've shown your willingness to play by the rules every time. Oh well.

    God damn needlessly high, paranoia-induced, security measures. I'd like to see how the head of the TSA likes getting his junk scanned every time he tries to get on and off a plane.

    I wonder whether or not I should have bought Castlevania:Lords of Shadow instead of the God of War Saga...

    It's the same gameplay, yes. But I wonder if I might have liked the story/setting better.


    You should have! IT DOES NOT HAVE GOD OF WAR GAMEPLAY! WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THIS?!? It plays like Castlevania! God Of War, Ripped of Castlevania..AH!

    My friend's fiancee was told at one point she couldn't come to the USA anymore because they found it suspicious that she was constantly visiting and at the time she didn't have any ties to Canada like schooling or work. Also because she was Russian.

    Very nice indeed! I give you my undying adulation PLUS this monetarily worthless but nevertheless quite nice-looking collection of pixels:

    Have you thought about just getting engaged/married at this point (if you're not already)? Might make life easier.

    Yeah... I don't get the logic at all.

    Isn't there a US visa specifically for the fiancé(e) of a US citizen?

    In other news, I really really wish this was my visa category:

    You'd think so, I mean it seems to me every time I show I've respected the delays, they should believe it more likely that I will. But it's the other way around, apparently.

    Something like that. Plus they know I'm visiting my boyfriend. They've told me it seems that I want to live here, and they don't want me to do it illegally, that is, just stay some day. Of course, letting me in and saying "next time we won't let you in" is stupid if it's really their fear. If I actually wanted to stay illegally, which I don't, now would be the perfect time.

    That has been the plan for a while. However, polygamy is still illegal and I'm still married to Ian. Been trying to divorce for close to two years now, but international divorce is a pain. Basically, I can't apply for a Canadian divorce because I'm not a resident, he has to do it. And for a French divorce, I need his birth certificate, which in France is fine as anyone can ask for anyone's birth certificate, but in Canada he needs to be the one asking for it.

    In other words, he needs to cooperate, which he isn't. He said he applied for a Canadian divorce almost a year ago, but according to the Registry, as of mid-September of this year, nothing has been filed, let alone processed.

    My lawyer sent him an official letter asking for his birth certificate. She now has proof that she asked, she says we can try showing that to the judge (divorces in France can only be pronounced by a judge) and see if they take it as a sufficient reason to do it without a birth certificate.

    Otherwise, I honestly don't know what else can be done. The type of French divorce I'm going for is already the only one that he doesn't need to show up to the courthouse for (which he would never do).

    Perhaps you can say you've entered the country to support Alcoremortis's groundbreaking rocket-propelled pipette research.

    Actually, that would probably spook them even more. Never mind.

    You may find that you'll have to be more of a pest if you're going to get your husband to file for divorce. I wonder what spouses can be liable for in Canada....

    Nah, that was just for the lols. It's pretty easy. All you need is a vacuum pump, a lot of p1000 pipette tips, and an understanding lab safety manager.

    The real pain is when you fill a sink with water, add in some soap and a bit of Coomassie brilliant blue dye... and then a chunk of dry ice.

    I do, too. I need to design some sort of experiment that requires a large amount of it and then buy slightly too much.

    You can also make centrifuge tube bombs with it. Take a 1.5 mL tube, stuff it with dry ice... then slip it into someone's pocket.

    Oh, the things I learn from the postdocs.

    I remember when I was a young teenager I was at a party and we all stuck dry ice in our mouths and had fog flow from our mouths. Surprisingly no damage, but man were we dumb.

    Know what`s something you do once? Grab an old freezer tube. Hand went numb and white in seconds. Managed to get it off fairly quickly and, surprisingly, I was okay after a while.

    Did that when I was a kid.




    Dear work, if you want me to include a video(of some dude in the company's crap) in an HD projector presentation you're having me make, it would be really nice if it wasn't a 360p youtube video. It's just going to look like crap compared to what I've already done and prepared in 1080.

    Apparently a young git back in old Britain drank a nitroglycerine infused Jagermeister to super chill it. This drink is legitimately on offer. They had to take out a portion of her stomach due to the damage and threat of death.

    What a silly thing to do. Everyone knows the best thing to drink when you want stomach damage is Grog XD. :D

    I took my lab safety test and so I know that drinking chemicals is BAD. Also, bacteria, but the lab e.coli we use most likely wouldn't hurt you. It's just really disgusting and you'd probably wish you hadn't.

    Well, I guess liquid nitrogen technically isn't a chemical. That doesn't make it any less monumentally stupid to use it as an ingredient in anything. I know you can use it to "cook" with or to do things like freezing fruit, but actually putting it in a drink is one of the most monumentally stupid things I've ever heard of.

    Ugh, my eyelid has been massively swollen since last night (though I think it's starting to get better) and I have to be up for work in five hours.

    Well, I got the first part of my Silent Hill Origins LP recorded. Now I'll just upload it and post it on the board for people to critique. And I might just not watch it at all ever myself.

    DAISHI said it was nitroglycerin, not liquid nitrogen. Nitroglycerin is an explosive and something you don't want near you in any capacity. You can practically clean your floors with liquid nitrogen. My physics teacher even gargled it in front of the class.

    Oh. I guess I must've skimmed the post, since I heard the story a couple days ago. It was liquid nitrogen. And I don't know how your physics teacher didn't end up burning his throat with that shit.

    Oh, it didn't get to his throat. And he didn't even have it in his mouth for very long, barely even a few seconds.

    The fact that it's liquid nitrogen makes a hell of a lot more sense than nitroglycerin. I can't think of a single good reason to have nitroglycerin in a bar, for one thing. At least you could use liquid nitrogen as an expensive alternative to freezing things the normal way. Like... in a freezer.

    Well again they were serving this straight up like a legit drink. A politician of some sort said he'd had the same thing.
  • edited October 2012
    According to the article, it was prepared wrong. There isn't supposed to be any actual liquid nitrogen left in the glass when they put the alcohol in there. Just the last of the vapor, which is only slightly cold.

    What a lame release day. Steam had a premature upload, so now the only people left are those who bought from the Telltale store.





    That's two or three people I guess.

    Last release day, we had 2,526 people on this forum. This time, we're not even scratching 200. *yawn* I think I'm going to bed now.

    ...oooops, wait, we have a slight surge...

    Nitroglycerin is an explosive and something you don't want near you in any capacity.

    It is also a potent donor of nitrogen monoxide that penetrates the mucous membranes like nothing and causes dilation of blood vessels. If she drank that stuff, she'd probably have collapsed from severe hypotension. But at least she would not have had an angina pectoris attack ...

    I don't know what the fk is under New York City streets, but there is often a whole bunch of steam coming up from the manholes, and sometimes you'll see two or three HUGE canisters of liquid nitrogen (each one bigger than I am) with tubes running into the ground. I almost don't want to know why they're there, would take the fun out of hypothesising.

    But DAISHI is no more
    What DAISHI thought was H2O
    Was H2SO4 !

    That rhyme is the reason I never forgot the forumla for sulfuric acid.

    Maybe everyone is busy playing! I think the different platforms released closer together this time than they did for episode 3.
