The Three Laws of Robotics: Isaac Asimov

Do You Remember The BoardGame MouseTrap? - AVGN Does!

Arg says...

Maybe our household wasn't normal but my three siblings and I would play this game properly. And, yes, when the first two players get to the final-loop part of the game it can take a few turns before someone lands on the cheese whilst the other player lands on the crank. But that gives the other players a chance to catch up. There are only six squares in that final-loop part of the game, so by the time three or four players get there you get to set off the trap quite often.

Part of the appeal was the fact that the trap wouldn't always work. Sometimes the ball would get stuck at the bottom of the rickety stairs, or the spring-loaded "helping hand" wouldn't fire when the ball hit it, or the man on the diving board would jump into the pool only for the cage to stubbornly sway at the top of the pole without dropping. If the trap fails to work then you gain a reprieve, the trap is reset, and the next player takes their turn.

So when you finally get to turn the crank to set off the trap there's a sense of anticipation with one player rooting for the trap to work and the other hoping that it jams up somewhere. And then there's all the oohs and aahs and cheers in reaction depending on who you're rooting for.

Great game, I loved it.

2 British police officers get pwned by cameraman

Arg says...

And they have the cheek to tell us that ignorance of the law is no defence.

Maybe they mean that ignorance of the law leaves you defenceless against being taken away in cuffs for any old bullshit that they make up on the spot.

Of course, since this was filmed a new law has been introduced which allows for the arrest and imprisonment of anyone who takes pictures of officers ‘likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’.

See, it's all about keeping us safe from the terrorists. Nothing to see here, move along.

TED Talks - Bonnie Bassler - How bacteria communicates

Arg says...

If I understand her correctly the new drug doesn't kill the bacteria but instead blocks the receptor whereby they all agree to attack you simultaneously.

So, wouldn't you need to keep taking the drug forever? If you stop blocking the receptor then the bacteria can agree to attack you again.

Am I missing something?

Zero Punctuation: Farcry 2

Arg says...

I agree with budzos entirely. I bought Far Cry 2, started a new game, played it for about 30 minutes and then never came back to it for a month. I kept thinking of it as some kind of chore that I was putting off. But when I did eventually give it a few hours I got seriously hooked.

With regard to the zebras. I once witnessed a zebra slowly amble up to the front of an empty, parked Jeep. When its nose gently brushed up against the front bumper it promptly fell down dead as if it had been shot through the head.
