This is a trailer for a game. I have no sodding idea what the game is about besides zombies, but I have been moved, puzzled and highly entertained. Why not experience these emotions for yourself by clicking on the play button presented for you here?
mouette_lunaire did a (highly spoilery) play-by-play reaction post to Amnesia: the Dark Descent and informed me that I needed to do the same thing. And since I'm a cheapass and I'm frightened of Penumbra, it's time for a freeware adventure game!
Transposons. Cut-and-paste DNA. No, literally. They were discovered back around 1983, and they're still being studied today -- people, the point I'm getting at here is cut-and-paste DNA. Any idea who I'm going to apply this to?
Also, transposons can be dangerous: they "can damage the genome of their host cell in different ways", including disabling or damaging the genes as they enter and leave them, or stopping chromosones from duplicating properly.
I just found out that one of my relatives is a comedy actor who has starred in films and guested on TV shows, including My Family. It's amazing what you can find out with a Google search. ^_^
Uh... so, well, our family first became rich and noble and spiffy and stuff back in 1066, when King Wossname came to the throne, Harold. Or was he the one who was killed? >.< Anyway, our particular branch is less-than-rich at present. :P And we have two versions -- an English one, which is the one with the hands on it, and a Scottish one, which is blue with little shapes on it like banana splits. O.o And our name means "foot of iron", which is... odd. O.o Plus, though our name is English, most Pettifers who were famous or lucky enough to get themselves into a Google search lived in this one state of America, though I forget which one.
