Physics-Based Prizes

Had to run out briefly last night with Lego for some electrical cables, and, after checking out, I noticed I had a few quarters in my pocket, and, by god!, there was a claw machine that took quarters right by the exit.

You guessed it, bitches. Totally would've made Gordon Freeman proud, natch solving this physics-based puzzle off the break. (First try, for cereal.)


I think I may have gotten something out of a claw machine maybe once before, as a kid, in a bowling alley, after multiple tries. Don't know what possessed me to attempt this one, but, hell, it seemed relatively impressive at the time.

HL2Ep3 Concept Wallpaper for Mobiles

Slow day...

Put together a nifty wallpaper for the Instinct with one of the scant pieces of Half-Life 2: Episode 3 concept art featuring ApSci's frozen research vessel Borealis. What say you, critical masses?


Oh, and since I'm the only motherfucker with an Instinct, here's a 480x320 version for you iPhone and G1 users. You're welcome.
