I've compiled a list of times Dr. Marbles has been kidnapped, in some vague attempt at chronological order

  • Lost My Marbles (kidnapped literally seconds after leaving Control Central to find a new Encryptor Chip)

  • Castleblanca (Kidnapped to use in Hacker's monster making experiment)

  • Less Than Zero (Taken Hostage with the Cyber-Council)

  • Clock Like an Egyptian (For once, not Hacker. Taken prisoner by Mumsy after being caught in his pyramid)

  • Hugs and Witches (trapped inside a time machine set to travel to the Cyber-dinosaur age)

  • The Snelfu Snafu (Imprisoned when Hacker stole and sabatoged the Encryptor Chip)

  • Step by Step (Kidnapped while researching Magmalux)

  • The Cyberchase Movie (Taken prisoner by Hacker during his search for the Reset Button)

As always, let me know if I missed any. And someone please get this man some self defense classes.

ELI5: Where do magnets get the energy for their pushing and pulling?

If you place a magnet near another magnet, it can attract or repel it. But a force requires energy. How can an inert, unmoving object like a magnet output enough energy to overcome the other magnet's inertia? Where is that energy stored?

In short: Fucking magnets. How do they work?

Got Blindsided by an AU idea

So this video (credit: chainsawnekotoonz) gave me quite possibly my dumbest idea for TADC yet. Presenting....

#The Amazing Digital Multiplayer Mode!

At some point (probably pre-finale, since after that >!Caine would listen when told this is a horrible idea!<), Caine works out how to make the Circus work as an actual multiplayer VR game, no eternal imprisonment needed, and hacks Steam or whatever to get it online. Caine gets a willing audience, and the cast gets actual human interaction again! Hooway!

There's a catch though, in order to keep the world from discovering C&A's brain interface tech (or, God forbid, Caine's sentience), the main cast have to pretend to be ordinary "outside" players and/or NPCs. And they all have to be extra careful not to abstract, or who....knows....what could.... happen.

Don't be silly, Jax! There's no time to complain about this being a Wreck-It Ralph send-up! The players are arriving and the show must go on!

An(other) observation

I as rewatching *Friend Like Me* because the song got stuck in my head, and it struck me how much Caine would DESPISE the Genie. He does every cartoon gag Caine could ever dream of, but better. He zaps his friends into all kinds of transformations, scenes, and wacky antics, and everyone loves him for it. He's not only flawless at making things people love, he got Aladdin to sympathize with and even FREE him without even trying. People laugh at his jokes, they consider him a friend. If the Genie was crying out for help, the entire Aladdin cast (sans villains obviously) would help him without a second thought. And to top it all off, he's BLUE.

Caine would melt his CPU from sheer envy, and trying to deal with that the way he usually does (read: upstaging or murder) would only give Genie an opening for another award-winning joke. He's their friend AND a god, the entertainer AND the comforter, a one-man show AND a person. He's everything Caine tried desperately to be and he's a natural at it.

Seeking ANSI artists

I am the sysop of a small BBS themed around the Portal series, and I wish to program an Easter egg that recreates "Still Alive." I am willing to pay anyone who

A. Can recreate the look of Portal's credits, with the lyrics appearing as the song plays

B. Can program (or at least debug) the song itself using ANSI music.
