While safety is one of many Enrichment Center goals, the Aperture Science High Energy Pellet, seen to the left of the chamber, can and has caused permanent disabilities such as vaporization.

I think I need to spend a while watching and reading everything this guy's ever done, especially if it's in this dry, understated humour.

The old footage looked like Robot Wars if they didn't have any safety requirements.

This right here is a vivid illustration of my reasons for preferring to work with low voltage (and current). Impressive though.

Once he started demonstrating the canon I was waiting for that pickup to be brought forward. Do it! Do it!

I hate ford vehicles but that model of the F-150 series was such a good one. Pull up an old beat up bronco or something but not that one! Lol
