From mythbusters hell, I used to live in Albuquerque. Been to Sandia a number of times.

I like the gentle verbiage though. "Spent nuclear fuel" instead of "nuclear waste." Makes it sound so much more benign.

Anyway, the common thread in all the gifs in my last post were they were all photoshopped. I've seen the original train-car-implosion video too, I just thought it was a pretty cool robot.

I worked at Sandia as an intern for 3 months. I learned interesting things about that place.
 
"WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS? HOW COULD THIS HAVE EVER SEEMED A GOOD IDEA?!"

At first I couldn't figure out what was going on.
Then I remembered that people will strip off their shirts and beat each other with fluorescent tubes for "fun."
This just seems like a safer evolution of that.

I don't know who Jack or Gavin are, nor what RTX is.
Jack Potillo and Gavin Free are both employees of Rooster Teeth, a media production company based in Austin (you might have heard of Red vs Blue). RTX - the Rooster Teeth Expo (or Experience) is their Con, in the same way that PAX is Penny-Arcade's Con. They were doing a demo match of Age of Booty, and with each loss they had to spin the "wheel of punishment", which resulted in either a zap (getting zapped with an electric fly swatter), shot (doing a shot of Captain Morgan Black Rum), or slap - as pictured.
