dante's inferno
been playing catch up on some games i missed when they first came out. i love any games that deal with hell, demons, afterlife, god and angels and what not. so i just beat dantes inferno twice and got 920 out of a 1000 of the points not too bad, need a guide to get all of the judus coins. so first a bit shout out of fuck you goes out to EA. really does madden make that fucking much that you can put out unfinished shit like this and not go broke? i mean the def jam rap fight game did so shitty they shut done that branch of the company. this should probley follow suite. now there are some good things in this game. if you like devil may cry and god of war this is right up your alley. as all fucking ideas where stolen from those games anyway and this was made just to cash in on that market and destroy some poor souls good idea for a game in the process of cashing in. hell it even has the foutians. and if you play it above classic on the first play thru it wil crush your soul also. def made for after you have leveled up. now i love a good challenge esp if you have to think about it and look for unique ways to do things. but on the higher hard levels it isnt that kind of challenge. i have dante leveled up as full as i can on both holy and unholy and if you put it on inferno, like it says you truly are dammed. two hits from any of the sword carrying demons wil pretty much wipe you out. now thats was the fun part. now on to the shit. once again for the love of god (or lucifer) why do they keep putting jumping bullshit in a 3d game where you have no control of the camera? that 3 strikes right there but i will continue. and ledges are so inconsistant. some you can fall off, some you cant. and some you just fucking fall thru for no reason whats so ever. i actully had to reset the game a few times when i got wedged in a cornor and fell thru the level on woods of suicide and the adomable sands. i fell thru many platforms when trying to jump. and if you cant see the floor and you jump you will most always die. unless there is lava or molten gold then you will fall into that and die fun woooo weeee.hope you saved. you can tell what the best ideas were for the game as there are some really cool wow moments. such as on charons boat, fighting cleopatra in the tower of lust and fighting thru to the city of dis rideing on Phlegyas. but then there is the shit layers you can tell they had to use to tie it all togather. such as ther seems to be just place holder staues everywhere like they were going to add cool scenes of peeople being tormented and then ran out of time. and the level where you had to backtrack really felt out of place like they couldn't think of a cool boss to put there and had to progress the story line with out adding too much cost and time in develoment. and the last level is pure shit. spolier. all you have to do is climb down fight a few demons cross a ice bridge that is breaking awasy and then you are at either satan or lucifer. i am not sure which and i dont think EA was either. as all thru the game lucifer was a shadow being then all of a sudden he was trapped in a giant deamon prison., and then when he escapes, its not even the same being as ealier. so i have to say the end was satan, and lucifer was the one flying around at the start of the game. any way game sucks ass but in a loveable controller smashing kind of way. play it on classic enjoy it and get you same achivement points but dont even think of turning the level up unless you like pain and, i guess in that way, it lives up to its name of going to hell.

10 Futuristic Materials
10 Futuristic Materials
by Lifeboat Foundation Scientific Advisory Board member Michael Anissimov.1. Aerogel
Aerogel protecting crayons from a blowtorch.
This tiny block of transparent aerogel is supporting a brick weighing 2.5 kg. The aerogel's density is 0.1 g/cm3.
Aerogel holds 15 entries in the Guinness Book of Records, more than any other material. Sometimes called "frozen smoke", aerogel is made by the supercritical drying of liquid gels of alumina, chromia, tin oxide, or carbon. It's 99.8% empty space, which makes it look semi-transparent. Aerogel is a fantastic insulator — if you had a shield of aerogel, you could easily defend yourself from a flamethrower. It stops cold, it stops heat. You could build a warm dome on the Moon. Aerogels have unbelievable surface area in their internal fractal structures — cubes of aerogel just an inch on a side may have an internal surface area equivalent to a football field. Despite its low density, aerogel has been looked into as a component of military armor because of its insulating properties.
2. Carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes are long chains of carbon held together by the strongest bond in all chemistry, the sacred sp2 bond, even stronger than the sp3 bonds that hold together diamond. Carbon nanotubes have numerous remarkable physical properties, including ballistic electron transport (making them ideal for electronics) and so much tensile strength that they are the only substance that could be used to build a space elevator. The specific strength of carbon nanotubes is 48,000 kN·m/kg, the best of known materials, compared to high-carbon steel's 154 kN·/kg. That's 300 times stronger than steel. You could build towers hundreds of kilometers high with it.
3. Metamaterials
"Metamaterial" refers to any material that gains its properties from structure rather than composition. Metamaterials have been used to create microwave invisibility cloaks, 2D invisibility cloaks, and materials with other unusual optical properties. Mother-of-pearl gets its rainbow color from metamaterials of biological origin. Some metamaterials have a negative refractive index, an optical property that may be used to create "Superlenses" which resolve features smaller than the wavelength of light used to image them! This technology is called subwavelength imaging. Metamaterials would used in phased array optics, a technology that could render perfect holograms on a 2D display. These holograms would be so perfect that you could be standing 6 inches from the screen, looking into the "distance" with binoculars, and not even notice it's a hologram.
4. Bulk diamond
We're starting to lay down thick layers of diamond in CVD machines, hinting towards a future of bulk diamond machinery. Diamond is an ideal construction material — it's immensely strong, light, made out of the widely available element carbon, nearly complete thermal conductivity, and has among the highest melting and boiling points of all materials. By introducing trace impurities, you can make a diamond practically any color you want. Imagine a jet, with hundreds of thousands of moving parts made of fine-tuned diamond machinery. Such a craft would be more powerful than today's best fighter planes in the way an F-22 is better than the Red Baron's Fokker Dr.1.
5. Bulk fullerenes
Diamonds may be strong, but aggregated diamond nanorods (what I call amorphous fullerene) are stronger. Amorphous fullerene has a isothermal bulk modulus of 491 gigapascals (GPa), compared to diamond's 442 GPa. As we see in the image, the nanoscale structure of the fullerene gives it a beautiful iridescent appearance. Fullerenes can be made substantially stronger than diamond, but for greater energy cost. After a "Diamond Age" we may eventually transition to a "Fullerene Age" as our technology gets even more sophisticated.
6. Amorphous metal
Amorphous metals, also called metallic glasses, consist of metal with a disordered atomic structure. They can be twice as strong as steel. Because of their disordered structure, they can disperse impact energy more effectively than a metal crystal, which has points of weakness. Amorphous metals are made by quickly cooling molten metal before it has a chance to align itself in a crystal pattern. Amorphous metals may the military's next generation of armor, before they adopt diamondoid armor in mid-century. On the green side of things, amorphous metals have electronic properties that improve the efficiency of power grids by as much as 40%, saving us thousands of tons of fossil fuel emissions.
7. Superalloys
A superalloy is a generic term for a metal that can operate at very high temperatures, up to about 2000 °F (1100 °C). They are popular for use in the superhot turbine areas of jet engines. They are used for more advanced oxygen-breathing designs, such as the ramjet and scramjet. When we're flying through the sky in hypersonic craft, we'll have superalloys to thank for it.
8. Metal foam
Metal foam is what you get when you add a foaming agent, powdered titanium hydride, to molten aluminum, then let it cool. The result is a very strong substance that is relatively light, with 75-95% empty space. Because of its favorable strength-to-weight ratio, metal foams have been proposed as a construction material for space colonies. Some metal forms are so light that they float on water, which would make them excellent for building floating cities, like those analyzed by Marshall T. Savage in one of my favorite books, The Millennial Project.
9. Transparent alumina
Transparent alumina is three times stronger than steel and transparent. The number of applications for this are huge. Imagine an entire skyscraper or arcology made largely of transparent steel. The skylines of the future could look more like a series of floating black dots (opaque private rooms) rather than the monoliths of today. A huge space station made of transparent alumina could cruise in low Earth orbit without being a creepy black dot when it passes overhead. And hey... transparent swords!
10. E-textiles
If you meet up and talk to me in 2020, I'll likely be covered in electronic textiles. Why carry some electronic gadget you can easily lose when we can just wear our computers? We'll develop clothing that can constantly project the video of our choosing (unless it turns out being so annoying that we ban it). Imagine wearing a robe covered in a display that actually projects the night sky in realtime. Imagine talking to people over the "phone" just by making a hand gesture and activating electronics in your lapel, then merely thinking about what you want to say (thought-to-speech interfaces). The possibilities of e-textiles are limitless.
Evil Guide Plan
Congratulations on being the creator of a new Evil Plan (tm)!
Your objective is simple: world domination.Your motive is a little bit more complex: hatred for all mankind
Stage One
To begin your plan, you must first assassinate a Pope. This will cause the world to sign up for life insurance policies, frightened by your arrival. Who is this Nightmare beyond Comprehension? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in Classic Black?Stage Two
Next, you must vaporize the White House. This will all be done from a Hell, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will spontaneously combust, as countless hordes of ninjas hasten to do your every bidding.Stage Three
Finally, you must let loose your opening of the seven seals, bringing about Horror's beyond Man's Comprehension. Your name shall become synonymous with horror, and no man will ever again dare cross you. Everyone will bow before your Mind-Boggling Insanity, and the world will have no choice but to give you control of the planet.
