Square Enix has announced that two new Puzzle Packs are on their way for Airtight Games‘ Quantum Conundrum. The Desmond Debacle and IKE-aramba! are going to be available later this summer adding a few more hours of puzzling action to what is already an impressive and delightfully quirky package.
The Desmond Debacle takes place deep in an unexplored wing of the Quadwrangle Manor with Desmond the drinking bird serving up some more puzzles for our hero to solve. IKE-aramba! is a rescue mission of sorts involving the Interdimensional Kinetic Entity (IKE) taking place in another all new wing of the manor.
The Desmond Debacle will release July 31 on Steam for $2.99; August 14 on PlayStation Network for $2.99; and August 15 for Xbox LIVE for 240 Microsoft Points. IKE-aramba! will release August 28 on Steam for $2.99; September 11 on PlayStation Network for $2.99; and September 12 for Xbox LIVE Arcade also for 240 Microsoft Points.
Thanks for the post.

I need to get a box to store certain electronics (such as DVD players, external DVD writers, and game consoles) long-term, and was wondering what the best material was?
Should the box be made out of wood, plastic, metal, or some other material?
I would want the box to keep the device(s) relatively airtight and packed, if that makes a difference. The primary concern would be whether boxes made out of a certain material would pose a risk of any sort to an electronic device.
Are all of those above materials safe and right for a box to store electronics in?

Up early and quiet, but my mood is real rude like a lion
Pick at the limbs of weak raps without tryin
Dreams of taking the rap game to a hire science, an intensified climate
that’s hell like, breakin ankles left, with niqqas that aint feel right
Too many nikeheads, ain’t airtight, biting the tongue of they air-nikes
Aint looking for a newer balance, just a narrow path where the crowd is
I’m not tryin to hate, or chase the truth cause I don’t even know where the lie is
But our fate is doomed in the hands of these false messiah’s, they just puffin lyer’s
We feedin the fire, while they sit laughin, takein this as a satire
Sh*t is being shaken down to the wire, where only the static is heard
But actuality tunes back in where only the cattle is heard/herd
They stampede, and bleed right where you use to stand
I really could be bluffin at first hand, and its only necessary
Stay close to friends, and even closer to your adversaries
Keep peepin for real, even if your act is imaginary
They swagger will be cut by they own dagger
So be ready to be sharp and on point like a machete, attack wildly never steady
His reality is split like the red-sea, and be smoked by the lead-sea/see?
Now you can make moves, on your block schemes, and play it on the low ki/key
Your status’ll measured on your triple-beam
I guess that’s how it all seems, and for now I say piece/peace

To begin with, I don’t agree with the staus quo. As I’ve passed through my teens I’ve had to become more fiscally independent and responsible so my critical mind naturally begged the question: why do waitstaff expect a tip? I do tip, but this is mainly to “fit in” and not insult anyone, however I am quite opposed to the expected and institutionalized tipping of waitstaff. I’ve become frustrated over the years at being both constrained by and, more importantly, judged (and on rarer occassions lambasted) based on nothing more than the status quo of the institution. I’ve shared my opinion with many others and have heard many different arguments in favor of tipping so I’d like to post my comprehensive argument and would welcome people to point out the holes in it.
Please note: I’m well aware of the current legal status regarding jobs that earn at least $30 in tips a month (Fair Labor Standards Act) having the reduced min. wage ($2.13) and that waitstaff are generally hardworking people who are underpayed (I’ve worked my share of tables throughout high school). My goal is in no way to offend or provoke an emotional argument – merely a good natured debate on a relevant issue. So, please don’t comment that I “should walk a mile in their shoes” because I have. You can call me a hypocrite, but I take money when it is handed to me whether or not I believe in the institution that generated it (I call it smart). Also, a common ad hominem I’ve seen on other posts is that if you aren’t able or willing to tip you should stick to fast food or eat at home so please don’t bother with that because it is not a valid argument nor is it reasonable. Lastly, please keep your comments to valid arguments and avoid mere specualtion. Keep it airtight (makes for a more interesting debate!)
So, I believe that tips should be reserved for jobs in which the employees go the extra mile. When you pay for a service, you expect something in return. When that something is done exceptionally well or something extra is added, then a tip is appropriate (including waitstaff), but under no circumstances should it be expected. When someone accepts a job they are (or at least should be) aware of what duties it entails and the rate of pay. Here’s an example where a tip, in my mind, is appropriate: a caddy’s job is to carry your clubs as you play golf. If he/she charms the pants off of you or gives you in-game advice then that is above and beyond the job description and a tip is appropriate.
Now, I’m sure many of you are thinking that a waiter’s job is to give you your food and that’s it – not be nice, not be thorough, not be quick ( the “unneccessary” qualitities that warrant a tip in this point’s case). But think about it: in what service-sector job would consistent sour moods, incomplete requests, and tardiness be tolerated? Granted, anyone could have a bad day, but would you tolerate this behavior from a store cashier if it persisted as long as the untipped waiter? Do you tip cashiers?
Now, a possible rebuttle is that waitstaff wouldn’t do their jobs nearly as well, but if I employed a waitstaff, I wouldn’t hire or keep someone who didn’t do their job to the best of their ability nor would I give my business to an employer that didn’t expect that of his/her staff.
Lastly, to refute the “reduced salary argument”: people often say that waitstaff depend on tips to get by. Why? Because of a law, (one with which I obviously don’t agree). The patrons are expected to supplement their salaries simply because that’s how it is. (I’m well aware of the economic ramifications if this weren’t the case, but these aren’t relevant to why tipping is expected – I’m not cheap, I’m critical). I don’t appreciate that ever-instilled pressure and in very few other fields is this the case. I think (I realize this will sound harsh) if waitstaff members aren’t given the regular minimum wage then they should take a proactive political route, not depend on the CUSTOMER for his/her livelihood – this should be done by the employer.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a philosophical problem: just because something is, should it be?
P.S. Again, ad hominem and speculation will not be appreciated nor absorped (nor, frankly, read past the first few words).
Thank you.
Before this happens again, maybe the question should be phrased as “SHOULD we tip waitstaff”?

I was banned from straightdope.com. The reason they gave me was:
reopened closed thread. I did reopen a closed thread three days ago, because one of the moderators says that I had opened it in the wrong section. I opened it again in it’s proper place and it stayed open for two days. A moderator and charter members even joined in. It was closed again due to wrong category, I complained and they asked if I would like it moved instead of closed. I said yes, it was moved and reopened by the moderator. Then I opened a new conversation:
Title: The Click 101-Impressions vs. Clickthroughs and why you should click
Getting your name out is tough these days. Raising enough funds for an excellent ad campaign can be exhaustive
and making money off ads on your site without a airtight campaign is near impossible. Even search engine optimization
(that creates sites that look like they were designed by mindless robots)to get a good page rank becomes less and less
effective every time an engine gets updated.
However, the system is flawed. Corporate America and the Advertising gurus have made an undeniable mistake, assumption.
They assumed they could impress images and words about their products and ideas into the minds of the masses
(approximately 90% of the time)without anyone clicking through.
That’s exactly what a impression is, an impression on your brain. A clickthrough is you clicking on a ad. They bet
that the average human being will not click on the ads due to the speed of life, jealousy and other massive internal
problems in Society as a whole. What does this do for them? It raises tons of money for companies selling adspace,
which they make off of impressions(micro pennies on the dollar)while providing an inexpensive solution for their
corporate(giant ants) clientele(5 million dollars for 5 billion impressions is a great deal for these money masters.).
Meanwhile, millions of visited sites created by common citizens are being exploited. They pour their hearts and souls
into these sites so that the masses(they hope)will enjoy their works. Then these diligent, hardworking little ants try to
find a way to eat. Uh oh, here comes corporate America(giant ants)with some good news, “You can put our names and images
on the face of every page in your entire web body and if somebody clicks on us we’ll pay you a quarter.” The little
ant(common citizen)replied, “Wow, big brother, a Quarter, if I get three of those I can get a candy bar, thanks!” The
little ants put their(big bother ant’s)ads up and are immediately deemed sellouts by the crowd. Whether it be a nascar
racer with too many stickers on his helmet, or a boxer, with Larry’s Hardware on his a$$, that has no heart. The real
sellouts are the manipulated masses that allow inexpensive to nearly free brainwashing through and by big brother
ant(Corporate America) impressions.
Here’s the solution, exploit Corporate America back. Click on at least two ads or more that you see on every site you
visit that allows you to absorb the little ants(common citizens)juices for free. Who cares if you’re interested in what
the ad that you’re clicking on has to offer(these ads are still impressing into your brain, make them pay for those
impressions)? Click, click, click, was that so hard(It’s self satisfying and fun too!) Don’t worry, corporate America
will survive. Even if some of the old players get removed by the board and are replaced by new players. There’s still
a board and it’s ok if some of the little ants become big ants and vice versa, just don’t tick off the Anteater! So,
join The Click and play the game. There’s no membership required!Click, click, click! [close/]
Twenty minutes later my account was deleted by people who claim to have been fighting ignorance since 1973. Where has freedom of speech gone since 1973?
I’m going to be out of the country for the entire month of April, and I am planning on unplugging many of my electronics (such as DVD players, game consoles, computers, etc.) and placing them into the boxes they originally came in.
This would be for the time that I am gone only, and the primary reason is so that they do not needlessly collect dust for four or five weeks.
My concern, however, is whether or not there would be any unseen (by me) complications by doing this? I would essentially be putting them into the boxes (which I guess are more or less AIRTIGHT) they were originally packaged in.
Is it all right that they will be in airtight boxes during this time period? Or are there other complications I’m not seeing?

Essentially libertarian and by the Constitution, but with modifications where necessary. Such as:
-not completely isolationist on foreign policy, we need to support other nations that share our ideals. We must encourage democracy abroad but we can’t force it on those who resist it, it may not be for everyone right now and as long as they are not committing atrocities or attacking the US we should leave other countries alone
-allow reasonable access to handguns, because criminals do not follow the law and only honest people will be disarmed. Criminals can attack you with a machete and you will be defenseless. But ban assault weapons and tax ammo highly
-very limited welfare for those who truly need it, with no incentive to have kids
-gay marriage because it’s not a “lifestyle choice.” If you think so, when did you start fantasizing about being gay and then decide to be straight instead? I’m straight and I never did.
-abortion legal within reason (no partial-birth etc.), but huge priority on cutting abortions through overall policy (birth control)
-work visa program for Mexican workers, and an impenetrable wall/airtight surveillance to keep out illegals and terrorists alike
This will also create jobs, possibly some lost to…
-end of the War on Drugs. Free up $billions & make room in prison for murderers
-mandatory life in prison for all violent felonies. It’s not a game to see how long you’re willing to go to prison based on how “bad” your crime is. Horrible crime is horrible crime, but even for murder no death penalty because it’s TOO HUMANE. Life in prison is worse, and is CHEAPER than the death penalty appeals process. Plus innocent people can be released at any time, it’s never too late.
-trim and ultramodernize the military, gradually converting to unmanned forces in land, sea, and air
-well-regulated and checked capitalism to prevent the disaster we have now, runaway capitalism can be as bad as socialism. We need the middle ground!
***SPOILER WARNING***
1) What are the purpose of Paco and Gordi Kramer in the game? What did they do?
2) Why did Shelby kill Paco?
3) If Scott Shelby was the origami killer then why was he even investigating in the first place?
4) Why was when Ethan was having his blackouts he was ending up on the same street?
5) Why were the blackouts happening only at the early part of the game
6) What happened to Ethan’s wife Grace? Did they divorce? Because the ending I had he and Madison were settling in a new home.
7) Why was every dead body dumped next to a railroad line?
8) If the purpose of the origami killer was to kidnap kids to try and find if their father loved them enough and try to save them, then after Ethan succeeded his trials then why did Shelby want to kill him? Wouldn’t he congratulate him on having showed love for his son?
9) Why did Madison react to the fact that Scot Shelby is the origami killer when in fact they have never met before in the game?
10) Why does Ethan have an origami in his hand after he blackouts, if he has nothing to do with the origami killer or origami itself?
11) When Madison survives the explosion in the fridge, wouldn’t the airtight seal mean she cant breathe for long inside? Also aren’t they impossible to open from the inside?
Anyway after all of this i still enjoyed the game. Just wasn’t sure about a few things.
Final question, which ending did you have and which is the best ending if i was to play it the second time?
Essentially libertarian and by the Constitution, but with modifications where necessary. Such as:
-not completely isolationist on foreign policy, we need to support other nations that share our ideals. We must encourage democracy abroad but we can’t force it on those who resist it, it may not be for everyone right now and as long as they are not committing atrocities or attacking the US we should leave other countries alone
-allow reasonable access to handguns, because criminals do not follow the law and only honest people will be disarmed. Criminals can attack you with a machete and you will be defenseless. But ban assault weapons and tax ammo highly
-very limited welfare for those who truly need it, with no incentive to have kids
-gay marriage because it’s not a “lifestyle choice.” If you think so, when did you start fantasizing about being gay and then decide to be straight instead? I’m straight and I never did.
-abortion legal within reason (no partial-birth etc.), but huge priority on cutting abortions through overall policy (birth control)
-work visa program for Mexican workers, and an impenetrable wall/airtight surveillance to keep out illegals and terrorists alike. This will also create jobs, possibly some of those that are lost to…
-the end of the War on Drugs. Free up $$ Billions & make room in prison for felons, speaking of whom…
-mandatory life in prison for all violent felonies. It’s not a game to see how long you’re willing to go to prison based on how “bad” your crime is. Horrible crime is horrible crime, but even for murder, no death penalty because it’s TOO HUMANE. Life in prison is worse, and is CHEAPER than the death penalty appeals process. Plus innocent people can be released at any time, it’s never too late.
-trim and ultramodernize the military, gradually converting to unmanned forces in land, sea, and air
-well-regulated and checked capitalism to prevent the disaster we have now, runaway capitalism can be as bad as socialism. Corporations are not “evil,” but they are designed for maximum profit so government must make sure individuals are not harmed

[Prodigy]
Yo, the saga begins, beget war
I draw first blood be the first to set it off
My cause, tap all jaws lay down laws
We takin what’s yours we do jerks rush the doors
Here come the deez tryin to make breeze and guns toss
In full force, my team’ll go at your main source
We’re not tourists, hit bosses and take hostage
Your whole setup, from the ground up we lock shit
Blood flood your eye, fuck up your optics
Switch to killer instincts for niggaz pop shit
Yo nigga Noyd what’s the topic? Nine pound we rocked in
Ninety-six strike back with more hot shit
Illuminate my team’ll glow like, radiation
With no time for patient, or complication
Let’s get it done right, my click airtight
Trapped in a never ending gunfight so niggaz lose stripes
or lose life, jail niggaz sendin kites to the street
Over some beef that wasn’t fully cooked, finish em off
Well done meat, that said twenty-two slug to your head
Travel all the way down to your leg
Chorus: together
Aiyyo it’s hell on earth, whose next or gonna be first
The projects is front lines, and the enemy is one time
I ain’t gotta tell you
It’s right in front of your eyes
(repeat 2X)
[Havoc]
We wreck the QBC, nigga rep yours it’s all love
Milli stacked down, heavenly guarded by hollow tip slug
Then crack down, on wannabe thugs adapt to gat sound
And bow down, slow the fuck up, see how my foul now
Articulate, hittin body parts to start shiftin shit
Never hesitant, it’s the crack game unlimited
Summon rasta we can do this, forever infinite
Then reminesce, twenty years later how we was gettin it
Either with me go against the grain you better hit me
Leggin me or robbin me niggaz better body me
Cause it’s a small world and niggaz, talkin like bitches
Bitches singin like snitches, pointin you out in pictures
Cause she rep the QBC faithfully, playa hatin me
All that bullshit, is just makin me
More the better, then concentrate on gettin chedda
If shorty set you up you better dead her, I told you
Shape and mold you, Sun you, then I hold you
Like a pimp mind control you double edge blow you
It’ll be I, like I’m supposed to, the click is coastal
International to local, Bacardi mix physically fix
Hit you with shit, that’ll leave a loose nigga stiff
Probably thick, Son I solved em
Pulled him in my world then evolved him to chaos
Walk the beat like, around the way cops the average pitstop
QBCity GodFather Part III, Gotti Gambino
And Ty Nitty, Scarface rest in peace
Chorus
[Prodigy]
Yo, the heavy metal king hold big shit, with spare clips
You seein clips when the mac spit your top got split
Layin dead with open eyes close his eyelids
Turn off his lights switch to darkness, cause deep in the abyss
is street life, blood on my kicks, shit on my knife
Youse the wild child, kid cold turnin men into mice
I was born to take power leave my mark on this planet
The Phantom of Crime Rap, niggaz is left stranded
Shut down your operation, closed for business
Leave a foul taste in your mouth, like Guinness
POW niggaz is found MIA
We move like the special forces, green beret
Heavily around my throat, I don’t play
Shit brand new, back in eighty-nine, the same way
The God P walk with a limp see, but simply
To simplify shit, no man can go against me
Test me you must be bent G, don’t tempt me
I had this full clip for so long, it needs to empty
The reason why it full for so long, cause I don’t waste shit
You properly hit, blood in your mouth, so you could taste it
Quiet as kept, I lay back and watch the world spin
I hear thugs, claimin that they gonna rob the Mobb
When they see us, I tell you what black, here’s the issue
It’s a package deal, you rob me, you take this message
along with that, I ain’t your average cat
Fuck rap, I’m tryin to make CREAM and that’s that
Whatever it takes however it gots to go down
Four mikes on stage a motherfuckin four pound
Speakers leakin out sound and niggaz leakin on the ground
I could truely care less the God will get his
Regardless blow for blow let’s find out who wear hardest
This rap artist used to be a stickup artist
Sometimes I test myself see if I still got it
A live nigga stay on point never diss
Regard shit or forget the essence, from which I emerged
P is sick, so save that bullshit for the burbs
Live up to my word, if I got beef, niggaz comin in herds
We flush through your click get purged
Creatures:

Planeswalkers:
1x Jace, Memory Adept
Lands:
14x Island
10x Plain
Strategy:
– To use the low or single-mana cost spells (Unsummon, Psychic Barrier, Negate, Demystify) to keep creatures and enchantments off the battlefield and send burn cards to the graveyard in the early game until enough mana is available to use other counters like Cancel. Day of Judgement is used in emergency situations when you’re facing either an army of creatures or a few very powerful ones with none on your side of the field.
– Stall opponent long enough for the heavy hitters to get out onto the field (Celestial Force, Trench Gorger).
– Jace, Memory Adept, Divination, and Jace’s Ingenuity used to keep hand as full as possible
I realize this deck is full of holes that an opponent can breach right through, and I was wondering what I could do to make it more airtight. I’ve been toying with mixing it with another color, but I’m uncertain as to how reliable the draws would be with such diversity. I play modern format (from tenth edition to the current block) and I have a somewhat slim budget. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
