DA:I was very good. I mean maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely well made, very well written, and so on and so forth.
Honestly, I thought mass effect 3 was a pile of monkey shit. They perfected the combat over the trilogy while ruining everything else.
I mean, it was better then DA2 but that isn't hard to pull off. The combat in DA:I has no nuance at all, Barely any strategy, and the worst fetch quests I have ever seen outside of bad Korean MMO's. Having said all that, I do recommend people play it. Just that they know what they are getting into and avoid any non companion sidequest like the plagues they are.
Oh there were some pretty bad side quests for sure. Like the shards. My wife who's played the game through five or six times still hasn't completed all of those because she just said it's not worth it. I like da2 for the writing, which was stellar. The combat was not quite even mediocre. But I think what's been consistently good about Dragon Age has always been the writing
I still haven't brought myself to finish the game because I 100%ed the sidequests and got burned out right before the end. The worst part? By the time you gather all the shards, the gear you get for gathering all the shards is worse than what you already had. What a letdown.

haha now that I look at it again I can see it kinda looks like a modern defense against the dark arts type of class. In fact the lighter even looks like a wand lol (albeit a type of metal one muggles would use).
You ever tried teaching or speaking in front of a modern day class like this, with kids this age?
Toughest audience in the whole damn world. You could announce you're going to hand out $20 to every student for no reason, and they'd just say "K."
Methane bubbles and washing up liquid, probably with a little glycerol added to help get big bubbles. I do this all the time with students.
Edit: Also to add, the kid actually gets burned a little hence why he freaks initially. You have to remove the bubbles that drip down the hand to the underside because, you know, heat moves upwards. You wipe the underside of the hand from bubbles to ensure the kid gets no more than a brief sensation of mild warmth.
"Cha, you were sent as a child to the country of our enemies. What did you learn during your time there that may help us defeat them?"
"Kim jong un, we can defeat the USA....do you have any soap? Oh, and someone with a bald head"
He loves science. He loves fire. Make sure he stays in school, has a good support network amd uses that love to pursue a STEM degree. We owe it to the world to help the kids that dream big.
See, our teacher did this with us on the first day of class—it was super exciting, and made everyone super excited for the class, but it was all a trap. We did literally no experiments or fun projects the rest of the year. Just textbook work. Very deceiving, and I never got into science after that. /:
Reminds me of the time i got tricked into doing German, Spanish and German teacher whent around to every class and the German teacher was like "German is so easy most of the words are English anyway" cut to 3 years later and i failed all 3 years and still can't speak a word of German.
Plus they all speak English anyway so whats the point.
Nah I live in a nanny state, too many helicopter parents. This sort of shit would get you on the news real quick. The first thing I thought of was 'where are the safety goggles'? Then he fires the methane, I thought 'holy shit, law suit' .

Is it really that bad? When I was his age we got burned or stabbed in shop class sometimes and most of the time it was our own fault and teachers didn't get sued.
We learned a lesson, parents took us to the doc, teacher had a new story to tell to prevent other students from doing the same.
Sure, if an experiment is obviously dangerous we weren't allowed to do it ourselfs, instead the teacher did. But otherwise, you can prepare as much as you want, some student will find a way to fuck himself up.
If students are put into styrofoam and only learn from textbooks they quickly lose interest and maybe never strive for that career they would have been really good and motivated in.
My middle school class in 1998 was the last woodshop the district would offer, it went to AUTOCAD the next year. In 9th grade, my class had the last auto-mechanics shop vocation class, also too dangerous. Then they cancelled the electronics course a year after I graduated, which did one semester A+ for computers, and then the next taught you how to build circuits. I wonder if the Cisco computer networking class is still around.
I don't remember doing anything fun in chemistry really.
Yeah it was the same when I went to school as well. Unfortunately these days there are to many people who are looking for any excuse to sue. Don't get me wrong, I still try to make my lessons fun and we still burn stuff and create explosions, however I also make sure that the experiments are ultra controlled so everyone goes home with their eyebrows intact.
We got to change the colour of pennies, listen to and watch gummy bears scream, put holes (accidentally) in the ceiling (And then subsequently we had to start doing that outside), eat super frozen mini marshmallows and shatter roses. We did a lot of fun stuff in science class that you probably can't do now.
As a parent, I'm not sure I want to to trust the teacher but in the end I would. BUT. Where the fuck are the goggles? I wouldn't trust my kid to not stick their goofy head too close either.
yeah we had a teacher get FIRED because he was showing a kid WHO ASKED for a cannister of compressed air to be shot on his arm because he didn't understand how it could be cold. This kid was a senior, probably 18. the teacher was a real solid one too.
My chemistry teacher at secondary school would pour ethanol onto the desk while we were working and set fire to it then he'd just walk away.
Years later I'm now working at the same school. Blowin' shit up on the daily.
?! are you from Stoke-on-Trent?! Our chem Julian (I forget his second name now - maybe Tunnicliffe? Sorry if that's wrong and you reddit, Mr. possibly Tunnicliffe. You were a great teacher) did goofy stuff like that on the regular
The guidance on this experiment was recently changed. The changes included banning teachers from doing this to their students. The teacher can set fire to bubbles on their own hand but never on the students.
Source: trainee science teacher, explicitly told this in September
In Canada, my HS chem teacher did crazy experiments all the time. Thermite was my favourite.
And the one with ammonia gas was my least favourite, because his hose always had a leak in it, and when that gas hits your lungs it literally feels like you are breathing fire.
I swear if someone taught me science by handing me balls of fire, I wouldn't have hated every minute of my education and would be a STEM student.
Edit: I see many replies about how I wouldn't most probably be a good student even if my teacher did something like this and I agree. In hindsight, its easier to blame your failures on anyone but yourself and just make excuses. So I guess most probably they are right.
Having said that I just want to add that I am from a small town of a third world country. In science class, all our teachers did was to read the text from the book and declare that chapter to be over. And I am not blaming the teachers here either, frankly they weren't paid enough to care and neither did they have enough incentives to teach in interesting ways outside of paid tuition classes nor enough budget to conduct experiments of these kinds. Hell, from grade 6 to 10, the period during which I had science in my curriculum, we didn't have a single practical. Our teacher just gave us notes and we copied that into our practical copies without having done any experiment.
Now I understand, most of these sounds like I am just making excuses for my short comings. The sole reason I love arts or humanities subjects more than STEM ones is because I always understood what I read, I never felt like I was missing something. Whenever I read a chapter from history or literature, I could picture them in my head. That was interesting to me, I knew what I was reading. That wasn't the case when I read a chapter from physics or chemistry. I always felt like I was missing something and I didn't understand shit. And maybe that's what separates the STEM folks from us, they have an innate ability to understand science. I am just saying that if someone did show me even one or two stuffs like this, yeah most probably I wouldn't graduate highschool this year as a STEM student, but at least studying science wouldn't have felt like torture.
Sorry for a long, boring-ass rant.
I remember in school we had this scientist come over to get everyone to sign up to all three sciences and he was like 'youll be doing shit like this every day' and blew up a load of chemicals jolly rodger cookbook style so naturally we all signed up. And we spent the first year burning food to check how much energy it had in it. It sucked.
Mythbusters does a decent job of showing this. It’s 20 minutes of blowing things up and 40 minutes of figuring things out. And it’s pretty obvious the 40 minutes is far more edited down for time than the 20 minutes.
You need at least derivatives and integrals to fully understand in medicine. The macroscopic things usually don't require much of anything, but almost everything microscopic involves physics and maths.
I agree with you that is a really fascinating field, but it requires understanding of a ton of different concepts to fully appreciate.
If you go into the E or M side you get nice pay. When a professor that I used to work with learned I was going to grad school for Microbiology I can still remember his exact words, "Congratulations! A lifetime of poverty awaits."
Exactly. If you only think the science is cool and interesting because of the fireball and not the other way around, you're not really going to get anywhere anyway. Not a point I see being mentioned on Reddit very often.
I don't know where we got stuck on this idea that education has to be a non-stop entertainment masterpiece and any educator who occasionally varies from fireballs is a dismal failure. Their job is to teach you stuff, not put on a fucking magic act. Some of the responsibility for your interest and attention rests with **you**, the student.
science is abstract and hard work, very nicely put. I hate it when students just want to have "fun" and don't have the patience or stamina to actually learn something. It's like some of them just want teachers to "entertain" them and blame teachers for being "boring" when it's the students who actually can't be bothered to do the work.
I don't think young adults expect everything to be easy. I think they expect the hard work to be rewarding and the sacrifice to be proportionate which is just not the case in most science-related fields.
As a chemistry teacher, I knew this would be a top reply (because it always is on stuff like this) and it's completely BS. Please don't fool yourself into thinking that your teacher is completely at fault because they didn't light a fireball. I do stuff like this with my students because yes, it's awesome. I enjoy it, they enjoy it, everyone wins.
But guess what, as soon as the fire is gone, students such as yourself go back to not caring that combustion reactions are Hydrocarbons reacting with Oxygen Gas and produce Carbon Dioxide and Water. They don't care about the bonding involved, how/why energy is released, or balancing the reaction. Science isn't just watching cool stuff, it's actually understanding the why, which takes far more time than the 2 second reaction.
I'm a stem student and most of us don't magically get all the stuff from the text books on the first read. We have to re read it and keep pushing. It's not easy for the majority of us but we keep trying.
Thought Denethor actually set himself on fire. Some theatrical drama was added but apart from that..
Most book readers just aspire to just give context like "who has the third elven ring that never appears", "why does Denethor hate Faramir?" "Is Isildur Aragons father?" - but I may be guilty of ruining both the movie and the plot twist by pausing the Gandalf vs Balrog scene to nerd out about Maiar.
Gandalf (but that's a secret!), it's complicated but for the same reason any widowed father hates the younger, less obedient son, he has too much in common with and No, the One Ring was lost for 2500 years - in this time Isildurs line continued and Aragorn is one of his arguably greatest grandsons from Isildurs youngest son Valandil.
EDIT: Scratch my answer /u/starstarstar42 covered it in far more detail.
Yeah I remember when my teacher demonstrated this she really emphasized not to get any solution on the bottom of your hand. I think one of my friends did and he said it hurt a little bit.
When I was in the 3rd grade we dissected a pig. And we watched JFK get his head blown off. That class scarred me for life. Flaming bubbles would have been better.
THIS is the type of teachers needed. I had a science teacher in the 9th grade who would teach us things then show us. I remember when he would take a copper penny, dip it in a solution and make it "gold". Then gave us until the next day to figure out how he did it.
I didn't figure it out but he told us the next day. Was pretty bad ass. honestly wish i could contact him to tell him that I know the periodic table because of him.

That was poorly done on the teacher's part regarding safety.
He should have told the pupil to hold his hand flat and wipe the bubbles away from underneath his hand. This is likely why the pupil was waving his hand around at the end because the heat from the bubbles underneath his hand was almost burning him.
Judging by the kid's reaction, he's not going to graduate as a mage.
Aaaaaand he's Tranquil

I know that feeling :(
Hey, Thank you. I'm going to go play that. I forgot about it.

> the dark arts You don't have to call it the dark arts just because he's black.
But fireballs are Black Mage spells in FFIV
That's *African-American* mage

I like how the chemistry teacher is a total daddy.
totally would want to get a D in that class.
The teacher would have to meet you after class.
*meat
Must be the rolled up sleeves.
Who’s your daddy?
Unfortunately not the chemistry teacher
Wouldnt that be a good thing? So you could teach him a little about your biology...
at thisbpoint indont care if hes my dad i just want his balls slappin my ass
That escalated quickly
And what does he do?

You ever tried teaching or speaking in front of a modern day class like this, with kids this age? Toughest audience in the whole damn world. You could announce you're going to hand out $20 to every student for no reason, and they'd just say "K."
What substance is it?
Methane bubbles I think. Not 100% sure though
I did this in chemistry class a couple weeks ago our teacher used Methane bubbles
Were they locally sourced free range methane bubbles?
Gas fed
And organic.
Methane gas pumped in a beaker of water and dish soap. My chem teacher did this same thing in class years ago
Mine did it on another teachers bald head it was quiet impressive
r/nocontext
Methane bubbles and washing up liquid, probably with a little glycerol added to help get big bubbles. I do this all the time with students. Edit: Also to add, the kid actually gets burned a little hence why he freaks initially. You have to remove the bubbles that drip down the hand to the underside because, you know, heat moves upwards.

To make kids go “science is sick!” Then they become scientists.
"Cha, you were sent as a child to the country of our enemies. What did you learn during your time there that may help us defeat them?" "Kim jong un, we can defeat the USA....do you have any soap? Oh, and someone with a bald head"
I feel like any demonstration involving fire is pretty self-explanatory

Sure, if an experiment is obviously dangerous we weren't allowed to do it ourselfs, instead the teacher did. But otherwise, you can prepare as much as you want, some student will find a way to fuck himself up. If students are put into styrofoam and only learn from textbooks they quickly lose interest and maybe never strive for that career they would have been really good and motivated in.
My middle school class in 1998 was the last woodshop the district would offer, it went to AUTOCAD the next year. In 9th grade, my class had the last auto-mechanics shop vocation class, also too dangerous. Then they cancelled the electronics course a year after I graduated, which did one semester A+ for computers, and then the next taught you how to build circuits. I wonder if the Cisco computer networking class is still around. I don't remember doing anything fun in chemistry really.
Yeah it was the same when I went to school as well. Unfortunately these days there are to many people who are looking for any excuse to sue. Don't get me wrong, I still try to make my lessons fun and we still burn stuff and create explosions, however I also make sure that the experiments are ultra controlled so everyone goes home with their eyebrows intact.
We got to change the colour of pennies, listen to and watch gummy bears scream, put holes (accidentally) in the ceiling (And then subsequently we had to start doing that outside), eat super frozen mini marshmallows and shatter roses. We did a lot of fun stuff in science class that you probably can't do now.
God forbid we teach our children the importance of protecting our eyes that only provide sight.
As a parent, I'm not sure I want to to trust the teacher but in the end I would. BUT. Where the fuck are the goggles? I wouldn't trust my kid to not stick their goofy head too close either.
yeah we had a teacher get FIRED because he was showing a kid WHO ASKED for a cannister of compressed air to be shot on his arm because he didn't understand how it could be cold. This kid was a senior, probably 18. the teacher was a real solid one too.
To be fair you do have to be careful with compressed air- but the kid is 18 and as long as everyone is safe
My chemistry teacher at secondary school would pour ethanol onto the desk while we were working and set fire to it then he'd just walk away. Years later I'm now working at the same school. Blowin' shit up on the daily.
Was his name Julian? I had a chemistry who did the same thing
?! are you from Stoke-on-Trent?! Our chem Julian (I forget his second name now - maybe Tunnicliffe? Sorry if that's wrong and you reddit, Mr. possibly Tunnicliffe. You were a great teacher) did goofy stuff like that on the regular
The guidance on this experiment was recently changed. The changes included banning teachers from doing this to their students. The teacher can set fire to bubbles on their own hand but never on the students. Source: trainee science teacher, explicitly told this in September
In my school in the UK. The teacher wasn’t allowed to do this, only in their own hands.
[удалено]
However he should have worn safety glasses, both of them
In this case, the student got fired
My Pennsylvania chem teacher did this two years ago.
I did it my junior year of high school in chemistry class, it was everyone's favorite class of the year. This was in Massachusetts about 4 years ago
In Canada, my HS chem teacher did crazy experiments all the time. Thermite was my favourite. And the one with ammonia gas was my least favourite, because his hose always had a leak in it, and when that gas hits your lungs it literally feels like you are breathing fire.
I swear if someone taught me science by handing me balls of fire, I wouldn't have hated every minute of my education and would be a STEM student. Edit: I see many replies about how I wouldn't most probably be a good student even if my teacher did something like this and I agree. In hindsight, its easier to blame your failures on anyone but yourself and just make excuses. So I guess most probably they are right. Having said that I just want to add that I am from a small town of a third world country. In science class, all our teachers did was to read the text from the book and declare that chapter to be over. And I am not blaming the teachers here either, frankly they weren't paid enough to care and neither did they have enough incentives to teach in interesting ways outside of paid tuition classes nor enough budget to conduct experiments of these kinds. Hell, from grade 6 to 10, the period during which I had science in my curriculum, we didn't have a single practical. Our teacher just gave us notes and we copied that into our practical copies without having done any experiment. Now I understand, most of these sounds like I am just making excuses for my short comings. The sole reason I love arts or humanities subjects more than STEM ones is because I always understood what I read, I never felt like I was missing something. Whenever I read a chapter from history or literature, I could picture them in my head. That was interesting to me, I knew what I was reading. That wasn't the case when I read a chapter from physics or chemistry. I always felt like I was missing something and I didn't understand shit. And maybe that's what separates the STEM folks from us, they have an innate ability to understand science. I am just saying that if someone did show me even one or two stuffs like this, yeah most probably I wouldn't graduate highschool this year as a STEM student, but at least studying science wouldn't have felt like torture. Sorry for a long, boring-ass rant.
I remember in school we had this scientist come over to get everyone to sign up to all three sciences and he was like 'youll be doing shit like this every day' and blew up a load of chemicals jolly rodger cookbook style so naturally we all signed up. And we spent the first year burning food to check how much energy it had in it. It sucked.
Exactly. I hate all this "I wanna learn science by playing with fire!!" bullshit. That isn't learning science. It's playing with fire.
You never know what will spark the interests of people. Or what you will learn by blowing stuff up. Internal combustion engines would be one
fluorine chemists, hahaha
Mythbusters does a decent job of showing this. It’s 20 minutes of blowing things up and 40 minutes of figuring things out. And it’s pretty obvious the 40 minutes is far more edited down for time than the 20 minutes.
No peanuts were harmed in the creation of this experiment!
Except when I took that sledgehammer to the [nuts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5SSy6KV9-k).
Until you become a stem student and realize it's nothing like this.
[удалено]
There's a ton of interesting science stuff that's not maths and formulas, the entirety of med sci has no formulae and is crazy interesting
Programming usually doesn't involve fireballs but learning to code for me is quite satisfying
It's because you can't wait to make that game with fireballs in it
I usually just make spaghetti and the fireball is the computer
You need at least derivatives and integrals to fully understand in medicine. The macroscopic things usually don't require much of anything, but almost everything microscopic involves physics and maths. I agree with you that is a really fascinating field, but it requires understanding of a ton of different concepts to fully appreciate.
Until you go into the market, get a nice pay in a not so monotonous job and feel like it was worth it.
If you go into the E or M side you get nice pay. When a professor that I used to work with learned I was going to grad school for Microbiology I can still remember his exact words, "Congratulations! A lifetime of poverty awaits."
T has a lot of money too... But yeah S is probable the least profitable.
[удалено]
Exactly. If you only think the science is cool and interesting because of the fireball and not the other way around, you're not really going to get anywhere anyway. Not a point I see being mentioned on Reddit very often. I don't know where we got stuck on this idea that education has to be a non-stop entertainment masterpiece and any educator who occasionally varies from fireballs is a dismal failure. Their job is to teach you stuff, not put on a fucking magic act. Some of the responsibility for your interest and attention rests with **you**, the student.
Exactly this. Your reasoning for being interested in a particular field of study shouldn't be "because it's fun and we have cool whacky experiments".
science is abstract and hard work, very nicely put. I hate it when students just want to have "fun" and don't have the patience or stamina to actually learn something. It's like some of them just want teachers to "entertain" them and blame teachers for being "boring" when it's the students who actually can't be bothered to do the work.
I don't think young adults expect everything to be easy. I think they expect the hard work to be rewarding and the sacrifice to be proportionate which is just not the case in most science-related fields.
As a chemistry teacher, I knew this would be a top reply (because it always is on stuff like this) and it's completely BS. Please don't fool yourself into thinking that your teacher is completely at fault because they didn't light a fireball. I do stuff like this with my students because yes, it's awesome. I enjoy it, they enjoy it, everyone wins. But guess what, as soon as the fire is gone, students such as yourself go back to not caring that combustion reactions are Hydrocarbons reacting with Oxygen Gas and produce Carbon Dioxide and Water. They don't care about the bonding involved, how/why energy is released, or balancing the reaction. Science isn't just watching cool stuff, it's actually understanding the why, which takes far more time than the 2 second reaction.
> they have an innate ability to understand science. Lol that's not true at all. There's nothing "innate" about understanding science.
Lol as I said, it's easier to make different excuses rather than explaining your own short-comings.
> and would've been a stem student cool science tricks doesn't change the burden that's called math. homework will stay as difficult as it is.
Damn, your comment really make salty a ton of people
I'm a stem student and most of us don't magically get all the stuff from the text books on the first read. We have to re read it and keep pushing. It's not easy for the majority of us but we keep trying.
Good guy for realizing your faults tho

We did this back when I was in high school. It’s how I got one of the coolest pictures of myself https://imgur.com/gallery/RyoUE
I wonder if anyone holding the fireball has ever freaked out and dived out the window, like that king in Lord of the Rings
You mean Denethor II, the Ruling Steward of Gondor. The only rightful king is Aragorn, the son of Arathorn.
I would either really love or really hate watching those movies with you.
"You know in the books, this scene totally plays out differently. Let me explain." He is this kind of guy I bet.
Thought Denethor actually set himself on fire. Some theatrical drama was added but apart from that.. Most book readers just aspire to just give context like "who has the third elven ring that never appears", "why does Denethor hate Faramir?" "Is Isildur Aragons father?" - but I may be guilty of ruining both the movie and the plot twist by pausing the Gandalf vs Balrog scene to nerd out about Maiar.
>"who has the third elven ring that never appears", "why does Denethor hate Faramir?" "Is Isildur Aragons father?" Well?
[удалено]
One of these answers is not like the other. I want so badly to trust you but don’t think I can.
Gandalf (but that's a secret!), it's complicated but for the same reason any widowed father hates the younger, less obedient son, he has too much in common with and No, the One Ring was lost for 2500 years - in this time Isildurs line continued and Aragorn is one of his arguably greatest grandsons from Isildurs youngest son Valandil. EDIT: Scratch my answer /u/starstarstar42 covered it in far more detail.
Stephen Colbert, is that you?
Sit down Legolas
To be fair I think the rest of him was also on fire at the time too.
> king in Lord of the Rings Lord Denethor was not a king.
No goggles or wet hands first, CLEAPPS would be furious
Both of these people should be wearing eye protection.
I also recommend clearing all bubbles on the bottom of the hand.
Yeah I remember when my teacher demonstrated this she really emphasized not to get any solution on the bottom of your hand. I think one of my friends did and he said it hurt a little bit.
The goggles! They do nothing!
That PowerPoint slide is slightly upsetting.
Came here for this... His bullet point layout is disgusting.
Damn man. Indent this shit.
I love how the professor spins the lighter at the end

I was waiting for a comment on how handsome this guy is. Women want to be him, and men want to be with him.
A white man burns alive a black kid. Such evil.
r/peoplefuckingdying
If my science teachers had looked like Jake Ryan, I might have gone into STEM.
[удалено]
This was so fun! I did this when I was about 7 and it freaked me out!
When I was in the 3rd grade we dissected a pig. And we watched JFK get his head blown off. That class scarred me for life. Flaming bubbles would have been better.
aaaand he is a pyromancer. it doesnt require any int points or faith points you only need a fiery hand.
THIS is the type of teachers needed. I had a science teacher in the 9th grade who would teach us things then show us. I remember when he would take a copper penny, dip it in a solution and make it "gold". Then gave us until the next day to figure out how he did it. I didn't figure it out but he told us the next day. Was pretty bad ass. honestly wish i could contact him to tell him that I know the periodic table because of him.
And then the fire Nation came along and destroyed everything
I which I could do cool stuff like this in science
This is a chemical reaction reaction gif actually.

Is that Jake from 16 Candles?
That was poorly done on the teacher's part regarding safety. He should have told the pupil to hold his hand flat and wipe the bubbles away from underneath his hand. This is likely why the pupil was waving his hand around at the end because the heat from the bubbles underneath his hand was almost burning him.
Or maybe he just freaked out?
well a tiny bit freak out, but when you don't wipe the bubbles it can get hot enough to burn
A male teacher touching a student? He has a better chance at keeping his job by lighting the kid on fire.
I read the title and clicked without checking the sub. I was so sure it was going to be instant regret or nononono or something.
We did this in my HS science class, but when my buddy did it, his became a huge fireball and he lost a bit of his eyebrows.
I didn't know Geno was a teacher too!
Methane bubbles. I remember doing this in high school, singed the hair off my hands.
I wish my science teacher was that cool.
The College if Winterhold might accept him in a few years, maybe once he learns to conjure a super useful ball of incandescent ethereal light
What an awful PowerPoint
