Sounds like Exile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exile_(1988_video_game) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkInczf7RL4

Maybe Hellbender too, those two were practically indistinguishable. Also, both awesome. And there was me thinking that someone was trolling with a Pokemon description

Ah ha! that right there is Super Pang, loved that game. There's a couple of free to play browser versions of it now if I recall. That reminds me, there was a game in the arcade next to that one which I never saw again. It was a racing game in the same vein as Outrun, except more sci-fi-ey...

Dynamite Headdy?

A fairly creepy reviewer called the Necro Critic did a hilarious review of it here (part 2 for the minigames & quest mode): http://necrocritic.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/view/4688905-ehrgeiz-part-1- http://necrocritic.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/show/5017903-ehrgeiz-part-2- spoiler alert...

Mine isn't a game, it's a music video. I made a thread about it a while back, but no responses... It's a dance/club track from about 7ish years ago. Starts with this chrome box, which slowly unfolds into a robot during the first 30secs-minute of the video. This robot then starts...

I guess they call it a light snack..... [trollface] This could be useful if we're to ever hope of migrating our technology to biological devices... maybe. I just can't work out why they used a dog of all animals. I can only see this being vaguely useful on already pretty abstract cellular...

I have no idea how many are atheists. What I said was that I doubt any are any creationists (I could be wrong, there may be one or two). There are plenty of Christians at CERN. I don't even have any particular problem with creationists, I do have a problem with the media popularising a term...

Side note, there is the OMG particle, which is a name I have no problems with. Mainly because it's awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-energy_cosmic_ray#Observational_history

I wouldn't mind that at all. Explaining things, as I did with the guy on the bus, is no problem. I was trying to imply that whilst this person obviously believes very differently to me, he was extremely civilized about it and seemed interested in the replies. Not everyone is so reasonable...

What makes you think we don't accelerate heavy ions? although U235 might be pushing things a bit we do spend a month or so per year using lead ions. No good for Higgs searches but very useful for Quark-Gluon plasma research. Also, for a variety of reasons, I'm afraid the second idea wouldn't...

Where's the like button on this site? As for working at CERN... It's interesting, keeps you on your toes. As with any job where you're actually interested in what you're doing it's very rewarding. On the other hand it can be extremely intimidating trying to explain your research to...

The trouble with that is that *all* force mediating particles are required for life as we know it to function. You'd have no mass without the Higgs, but no anything else without the photon. No sun without the strong and weak nuclear forces... Actually I'd have no problem with that either...

Agreed, string theory never really interested me that much, so I know about as much as the next technical person who's had a quick read. You sound like you probably know more about it than me... (Interesting point, I did actually attend a series of lectures on string theory at a "summer...

I think you misunderstand, I wouldn't read the bible to try and understand philosophy, morals or the natural world. I'd read it to try and understand Christians. edit: I don't mean this offensively, "Christians are incomprehensible" or anything like that. I simply mean that there are a lot of...
