Yes it's been a while since the last post, which is a good thing. Not that people aren't still pissing me off, it's just that they're doing it in a way I've already complained about so there's not much point saying it all again.
Today I'm going to talk about the Large Hadron Collider. For those who don't know, the LHC is an experiment in Switzerland where they're going to fire particles at each other in an attempt to... I've no idea really. I think it's related to creating mass or achieving Warp Factor 9 or something. Maybe they just want to cook food really fast.
For some reason, people seem to be under the impression that it's going to end the world. I'm not really sure why. They've said the experiment may end up creating tiny black holes when the particles collide, which I think has spooked the Fox News crowd who believe that everything is evil.
Now there is a small possibility that it will end all life as we know it, with the black holes increasing in size, absorbing the world and crushing us all into particle-sized mush. Well I guess if that happens the scaremongers can say they were right.
Personally I'm hoping for a resonance cascade like in Half-Life, because I really feel like grabbing a crowbar and beating some zombie aliens and headcrabs to death, and I'm not the only one. Apparently I'm not the only one either, because a magazine sent a care package to Switzerland addressed to Gordon Freeman with a crowbar included. That's classic!
I apologise to any non-gamers reading that last paragraph. Sometimes I forget that there are people in the world who haven't played Half-Life or Half-Life 2. Those people are clearly doomed as they will have no clue how to dispatch a shambler or what Ravenholm has in store.
Sucks to be them...
