That is a truly great game. Finally, an outlet which allows me to legally expel all of my violent feelings towards pedestrians, poodles, and tanker-trucks. I've spent 10 minutes of my life burning people to death...who'd have ever thought I'd get to say that again?

Boy, that tanker really goes up. They won't ship liquid hydrogen like that, but they'll ship liquid propane.

Either way, you don't want to be the driver...

A ring of fire? Hold down the mouse button and just keep moving it in circles, everything that enters it gets flamed but the beam isn't held over them long enough so they don't always explode

Lazy Bonzo, trees to explode. I have seen the after afects a few times. Theirs water in trees right?(Ofcorse! How else would it surive!? (What I'm about to say usualy happens when lighting hits trees)).

The water inside the tree begins to boil. When water heats up it expands. But theirs no room for water to expand. So what happens? The tree(for lack of better words) EXPLODES!!!

Ofcorse in this game they are making it much more bigger(what would the game be if the dog just ran to a fire hidrent and put out the fire you set to him?).

Hmmm...

It would be interesting to see if you could boil the water fast enough inside the tree to generate the pressure. Too slowly, and it would find/generate a structural weakness and escape before the required pressure built up.

But you can freeze it. I watched a video once , likely from Alaska or Siberia, where the temperature dropped so rapidly the water inside the phloem froze and caused the tree to explode from the top down to the frostline. The camera man even walked around to show the splinters/shrapnel from the wood.

On a similar note, we might just see something like this one day. One of the best ways to harness solar power is to put collectors in orbit around the earth. The gravity well keeps the solar wind from pushing the collectors away, and the energy is stored in massive 'capacitors'. Every hour or so, an enormous power pulse (several gigawatts) is transmitted through the atmosphere to a collector on the earth. Imagine if a relay couldn't shut it off in time to prevent it from going too far off target. They'd have 'targeting' laser pulses to insure the beam fired on target, but there's that what-if factor in there...

Smokin'.

Ahh, yes, blowing stuff up.

I like playing with fire, my Mum calls me a pyromaniac.

Yay, finally, somewhere where I can blow stuff up with out the danger of the tower of candle's falling onto the table cloth, and setting it alight (again) (no seriously, I didn't half get told off...
