    Did you know that drinking a hot drink on a hot day is in fact NOT a good idea?

    The problem lies within the laws of thermodynamics, in that the hot drink will make you sweat more and your body will try harder to cool itself down but the heat lost by sweating and evaporation will never exceed the amount of heat gained by the hot drink you've consumed.

    Just thought I'd share that with my fellow Kotakuites.
    I don't take my title lightly ;D

    The problem lies within the laws of electric conduction however water in its purest form is not conductive. Instead, it is the impurities in the water—salts, dust, and so on—that enables it to conduct electricity resulting in fried Kotakuite!

    @Rampage: I always found that to be interesting about how its the impurities more than anything else.
    However I don't think its accurate to say it simply doesn't conduct electricity so much as it is simply a poor conductor.

    For example, one would say Wood is a poor conductor and a good insulator.

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: it overheats your body because it's harder to digest and some say it helps break down fat (that part I'm not sure of). Mostly it increases your metabolism because it's harder to digest and therefore your body's working extra hard.
    It's a fine way to work a sweat in summer, in winter it's great to avoid putting on excess calories, provided you take it in moderation and don't expect miracles :P.

    I think these days they recommend it to people on certain diets (I'm not sure about that part).

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Now, I'm pretty sure that drinking hot drinks actually tricks your body into over cooling. The hot liquid warms your hypothalamus (the body's thermostat) and causes you to vaso-dilate, directs more blood from internal to surface areas, makes you sweat, reduces the heat output from your internal organs and stops you "burning" glucose to provide heat. The small quantity of the hot drink is not enough to heat the body up over its increased efforts to cool itself.

    @ThursdayNext: Hot drinks will make you sweat more, and increase your cooling. But the amount of extra cooling won't be enough to offset the heating-up from the drink.

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Hmmm...not sure I agree with you. Are you taking into account the time it takes for the heat in the liquid to warm you versus how quickly you are able to dissipate that heat? What about surface to volume ratios of your body dissipating heat versus the liquid heating you up?

    @ThursdayNext: I'd wonder things like - maybe the drink is 80C - so is the calculation done as if you'd drank it all at that temperature, or does it take into account cooling it off so you don't burn your mouth?

    Also, regardless of heat exchanged, does it make you FEEL cooler?

    You could always just eat spicy hot foods and sweat it out with no heat added to you externally...

    @ThursdayNext: I heard that it is not a good ideo to drink extra cool stuff to cool down your body when it's hot, because the body will have to heat the cool liquid in your stomach so that it reaches body-temperature (36°) therefore generating the opposite of the desired effect.

    Beduines (nomads in the desert) only drink hot tea most of the time, regardless of the temperature outside.

    @fuchikoma: That is one of the issues. Drinking the hot beverage would make your blood vessles constrict in order to cool off and you would become flushed and feel hot even if it did cool you down.

    AC2 is still more physically plausible than the original, in that hanging platforms now, you know, actually hang and move around.

    Either way, I'd rather they fix the weird animation bug when jumping from high places into haystacks: Where Ezio appears to be a few feet off target, but then snaps back and lands cleanly at the last second. It happened in the last game too...

    You know, I'm also pretty sure it's physically impossible for an artifact to possess the power to control people's thoughts or whatever the Macguffin was for the first game too, while we're discussing implausibilities.

    .... Why does the image on the front page look higher res. than the one in the article? I don't think it is size, as other than being cropped, the images look about the same size?

    Ah there's much better pictures at the link... You can actually see the details there... Love the one showing the hand.

    Heh, that's pretty cool, but why does he have a bike lamp on a pole sticking out of his back? Is that the Camera? If so, shouldn't it be higher like someone else suggested? He can't sit, can he? Bringing that camera up a lot will slove the problems of sitting and seeing where the damn heck he is going... Even in PSO you could sit... though only if you had a keyboard or something?

    He's also missing his name, class and level floating above his head, in neon letters.

    Maybe he'll do that in a Patch?

    Also, is that some kind of one way window for the visor, or is he going around blind? Wait, that's a camera on his back and he's seeing himself third person? Heh, reminds me of a bit from an early DiscWorld Novel...

    @Helba: There was a bit in one of the first few DiscWorld novels where Rincewing found a Helmet that gave him a Third Person View...

    He commented on how useless that was, as it meant someone could fall down a hole right in front of them...

    I think he needs to add a collar attatched to the helmet, with a camera attatched that is held behind and above his head, that will turn when he turns his head. He could perhaps make it somewhat elastic, so clipping it in place would mean he could turn his head and keep the camera static, if that was what he wanted, but he still needs to be able to see round corners.

    My guess he won't be wearing this anywhere near traffic, or jocks, or etcs... #cosplay

    Gameplay wasn't the only thing driving the game, but just the basic concepts of the three races, the Zerg, controlled by the demonic sounding Overmind, the humans, constantly being raped by everything, including themselves, and the Protoss, an advanced race comprised of arrogance that have lost their way.

    Not to mention the sounds! Who has played Starcraft that can't remember the sounds?

    @Leanid: LMAO fo sho! My dad's been playing for about 10 years (IDK, whenever I was in the third grade, I'm a junior in college now), and I still live at home. He plays every other night or so for a good 2-3 hours, and sometimes I'll stop and watch him and mock him:

    "Dad. Dad. Dad. SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS." #starcraft
