Close-Up of the First Mechanical Gear Ever Found in Nature
The biological form of a mechanical gear was observed in nature for the first time in juvenile planthoppers (Genus: Issus), a common insect that can be found in gardens across Europe.
The insect has hind-leg joints with curved cog-like strips of opposing ‘teeth’ that intermesh, rotating like mechanical gears to synchronize the animal’s legs when it launches into a jump. The finding demonstrates that gear mechanisms previously thought to be solely man-made have an evolutionary precedent.
Dungeons and Dragons and Philosophy edited by Christopher Robichaud ~ John Wiley & Sons (2014)
This is not the same book as Dungeons and Dragons and Philosophy.
System Shock is a full remake of the 1994 original genre defining classic which introduced a new way of story telling to the FPS genre, creating a first person action role-playing game that had a lasting effect on the industry and paved the way for the Bioshock series.
I was fine.
With the men.
Who would come into her life now and again
I was fine–
Cause I knew
That they didn’t really matter… until you
I was fine.
When you came.
And we fought like it was all some silly game
Over her–
Who she’d choose
After all those years I never thought I’d lose.
It’s over, isn’t it?
Isn’t it. Isn’t it over?
It’s over, isn’t it.
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it over.
You won and she chose you
And she loved you and she’s gone.
It’s over isn’t it…
Why can’t I move on?
War and glory
Reinvention
Fusion, freedom, her attention
Out in daylight, my potential
Bold, precise
Experimental
Who am I now in this world without her
Petty, and dull with the nerve to doubt her
What does it matter, it’s already done
Now I’ve got to be there for her son–!
It’s over isn’t it?
Isn’t it? Isn’t it over.
It’s over isn’t it?
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it over!
You won and she chose you
And she loved you and she’s gone!
It’s over. Isn’t it.
Why can’t I move on?
It’s over isn’t it?
Why can’t I move on…
