Captain Planet!

Of course. How else will atoms combine to get 8 shared electrons? It just needs some combonationage.

[MagmarFire]

Well, they appear to do it through electronegativity. ;)

If you deal with compounds that have just about any of the noble gases, who already have stable electron configurations, however, you're probably going to run into a situation where you get more than eight shared electrons for the central noble gas atom. This kind of configuration is unstable, after all, which explains the high toxicity of the compound.

Well, that explains why I failed physical science and chemistry last year. Along with the rest of the 7th grade. But it's cool, they let me try the grade over again.

I discovered you can combine things pretty well with glue.

GET BACK IN TEH BOX.

me or shika?

[Twilight Wolf]

That's nothing. I have a book that tells you how to make a PlayStation into a handheld game system.

[cacturnerules]

Are you serious!?!? What's it called?

[Twilight Wolf]

It's called Hacking Videogame Consoles, by Benjamin Heckendorn. It also shows you how to turn an NES, SNES, and Atari 2600 into handhelds. I got it for Christmas last year.

You should look up his website, he's done some fantastic stuff. I've been a fan of his for years.

Shika. XD

Whoa. Turning consoles like those into handhelds!?

I can just imagine it: playing Kingdom Hearts I and II on the go... *drools*

[cacturnerules]

That's amazing, TW. Have you made any? Are parts expensive?

You can make the PS1 portable, but it doesn't say PS2 anywhere... :(

[Twilight Wolf]

No, I haven't made any, but I want to sometime. Parts can be expensive depending on where you buy them and their quality, but I think he said in the book that the PlayStation portable with the hand-made case cost about $200 to make, after buying essential things like soldering irons and other tools. The one with the CNC machine-cut case was about $100 more, I think.

The book only covers the original PlayStation, though; A PS2 portable is quite complicated to do, though he has done it. He's also made a portable PS3, numerous Xbox 360s, and even made a Neo-Geo MVS arcade system into a handheld and a home console.

Here is a mostly-complete list of his projects. (Some of the more recent ones are missing, though you can see them if you go back in time on the main page of his site.)

I REVIVE THIS TOPIC JUST TO DARE SOMEONE TO THROW ALL THOSE COMPOUNDS INTO A BUCKET AND SEE IF CAPTAIN PLANET APPEARS!

[MagmarFire]

What kind of lame power is heart, anyway?

[The Glamour Nazi]

Very informative.
