If you’re visiting this part of Simens Asylum, you’ll find our old blog that contains a lot of our random rants, creative art and other crap. There are also some personal stories, blog posts and ravings about issues we care about.
However, the blog itself is shut down and we’re not using the index forum for everything else. Just go to http://www.simensasylum.com or press back if that’s where you came from. Enjoy the blog.

Merry Christmas, Happy hannuka, Winter Vacation, Seasons Greetings……
You know the drill! : )
The Asylum wishes you a great snowy celebration of whatever gets you going this time of year!
I have been watching some trailers for games I know I’ll play (maybe even buy) in the near future. And the features that the developers seem to focus the most on is the following:
RedAlert2: Video cut-scenes featuring women resembling pornstars in army uniforms…
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41813.html
Fable2: Ingame orgies and farting.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41783.html
The modern day video game industry might not have got any better on storytelling and such. But they sure have made staggering advances in the patchwork that’s supposed to cover that up!

Oh, and I’m writing this here, ‘cus I thing the main site could use an update once in a while… and in that spirit!
WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR HALLOWEEN? DO TELL, DO TELL!
Will probably make a new post on the big day itself, between scaring the crap out of toddlers and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas for the gods-knows-how-manyeth time.
Stay alive people : )
The place I work at now is an old hospital with roots back to late 1800s, with the building that it is in now built in 1925. In 1990 it was taken over by LHL, and rebuilt for their use. What I was doing on wednesday, was clean up some mess from something on an attic stored away around that time… It was huge, dusty and incredibly creepy. More after the jump, I wrote this on LiveJournal, so it was very easy to just copy and paste into here, which I will (instead of using the forums). I’m just that lazy.
For all of you “The End is Nigh!” and “Science will destroy everything!” people…
They’re about to fire up the LHC
Yeah…
(If you know, and don’t care, skip next section)
———————————————-
For those of you who aren’t nerdy enough to know what the hell the LHC is I’ll give an quick, mostly non-scientific explenation:
The LHC, Large Hadron Collider, is in fact an Hadron collider, that is very large. It’s a ring that covers many miles, like a really long tube. It forces tiny objects (particals, atoms, electrons) to collide.
They might use it as kinda like an fusion-reactor beta test. Fusion is how the sun makes energy. The sun is far away, the Swiss mountians of Doom are not.
So aside from exploding the planet with WAY more energy than we can possebly control, it should be able to do 2 other things.
1: Make Black Holes. I have no idea how this works, but my guess is that if that happens, we’re screwed.
2: Make anti-matter (dark matter, black materia… dunno). A really smart scientist guy has stated that LOOKING at this stuff might make reality implode. It sounds stupid, but the guy is supposedly very intelligent andhave written sever books on the subject…
————————–
Yeah, I think they were planning to start up the LHC the 10th or something… thats tomorrow…
So just in case we’re f5skd, bye bye people, nice knowing you.
Simen edit:
While some believe it’s the end of the world, others are sure we’ll find something new and exciting. I’m among those who think that a wednesday is a bad day for world destruction, very… anticlimatic.
But no worries, I was linked this picture from someone who seem to know more about what is going on there, and as long as they have something like this, why worry?
Also, check out this awesome video about the HLC…
Btw… the firct collission won’t happen until after a month…
