Fallout: New Vegas was once Fallout: Sin City and had three playable races

fyeahobsidian:

“Did you know Obsidian originally wanted three playable races in
Fallout: New Vegas? This is the part literally crossed out – struck
through and coloured red – on the Fallout 3.5 treatment Obsidian CEO
Feargus Urquhart showed me at the studio.

“Originally we had this
idea where the player would be able to choose between three races:
human, ghoul and super mutant,” he said. “It was just the engine… ”

It
really had to do with how all the weapons and armour worked. Trying to
have them all work with ghouls and super mutants was just going to be –
[Bethesda] felt like it was going to be a nightmare. It wasn’t like they
said no but it was a very strongly worded, ‘We would really suggest
that you not try to do that.”

End of fillings in sight as scientists find Alzheimer’s drug makes teeth grow back

Researchers at King’s College London found that the drug Tideglusib stimulates the stem cells contained in the pulp of teeth so that they generate new dentine – the mineralised material under the enamel.

Teeth already have the capability of regenerating dentine if the pulp inside the tooth becomes exposed through a trauma or infection, but can only naturally make a very thin layer, and not enough to fill the deep cavities caused by tooth decay.

But Tideglusib switches off an enzyme called GSK-3 which prevents dentine from carrying on forming.

Scientists showed it is possible to soak a small biodegradable sponge with the drug and insert it into a cavity, where it triggers the growth of dentine and repairs the damage within six weeks.

The tiny sponges are made out of collagen so they melt away over time, leaving only the repaired tooth.

That is by far the coolest thing I’ve heard this year.

‘Okay so guys we’re still working on that whole alzheimer’s thing, but along the way we kind of accidentally regrew everybody’s teeth.’

It’s like how they discovered Viagra, but better.

Garden Genie Gloves

..so I actually have a pair of these from the Greenhouse and they work fucking great?  

  • comfy, like, actually comfy, not this half-assed “it’s not totally sweaty and gross” deal I get with most gloves
  • claws mean u give good skrtiches and u will be the fave of the two huge fucking guard dogs the manager keeps on the property and nobody will bother you, ever.
  • and if the dogs aren’t there dudes don’t perv on ppl wearing claws.
  • earn the respect and fear of small children.
  • u get to pretend to be a marauding bear which instantly makes working retail 500% better.

saving for later
