The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
This Game is Too Videogame-y
What's wrong with a game being "too videogameish"?
Final Fantasy X
A game about the ghost of an underwater football player who travels through time to save the world from a tick that controls kaiju satan. Really.
Silent Hill Origins
Here is a long look at a game that tries to live up to a big legacy and fails hilariously.

Why Google sucks, and what made me switch to crowdfunding for this site.
Atom Smashing? Booooo.
I hope you do know that the ball-and-stick model is hopelessly outdated and wrong. Still, pretty awesome.
He should try to build a model of a heroine molecule.
Now, that’s a challenge!
Is it just me, or does it look like they just used another carbon ornament instead of oxygen?
Should I be worried that there is a lighter right next to a huge alcohol molecule? Although that would make for an exceptionally fun Christmas light show…

No, the two carbon atoms are smooth. The Oxygen atom looks bumpy.
Tsk. It’s in an eclipsed conformation!
Axle @ 3: Heroine is a compound? Where can I get my wife some, so she’ll finally understand RPGs?
;-)
Seriously, I want a whole bunch of these so I can finally get some revenge…
My favorite thing about the ethanol molecule is that some modeling kits make it dog-shaped. By which I mean, four legs, a tail, a head with a long nose and two ears. It’s uncanny, and awesome.
Ah, ethanol; one of my favorite organic foods. Especially when it’s made from GM grains.
And I agree that the model needs a better oxygen atom.
@ 2 Samopsa: You better go on an editing spree at wikipedia then, because it’s full of these “outdated and wrong” models. :rollseyes:

I’ll see that and raise you a Caffeine Molecule tattoo.
