Just smashing!
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
Overused Words in Game Titles
I scoured the Steam database to figure out what words were the most commonly used in game titles.
Stop Asking Me to Play Dark Souls!
An unhinged rant where I maybe slightly over-reacted to the water torture of Souls evangelism.
Control
A wild game filled with wild ideas that features fun puzzles and mind-blowing environments. It has a great atmosphere, and one REALLY annoying flaw with its gameplay.
What is Vulkan?
There's a new graphics API in town. What does that mean, and why do we need it?
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I hope you do know that the ball-and-stick model is hopelessly outdated and wrong.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@ 2 Samopsa: You better go on an editing spree at wikipedia then, because it’s full of these “outdated and wrong” models.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:
You may like the following video (and all its related ones) Periodic Table of Videos – Chemistry Christmas Tree wherein you also learn there is a compound called “Arsole” :)
I’ll see that and raise you a Caffeine Molecule tattoo.
