Worst instruments of torture?

What a coincidence, than, considering how disturbingly specific is that death and how exactly it matches the one in the game.

Play the games, btw; they are really great.

Regards :).
 
Trap someone in a pitch black room that's climate controlled at 32.25C/90.05F w/ 90% humidity, and then inform them that they will be let out in 1-3 days (randomly.)

Playing "the witcher 3"? Last week I did a quest in witch a character died that exact way.

At least this one was "accidental". Have you done the Carnal Sins and Get Junior quests ? That's some world class depravity.

I don't have a spare Skynet to play it on!

I imagine it's going to wind up like the last two witcher titles for me. "Oh! I'm definitely going to play that when it gets cheaper/I have more time." I haven't played the first two witcher titles yet. :p

You don't need a spare Skynet. The hardware requirements are surprisingly reasonable. It does require a lot of time, but it has many interesting sidequests that tell small self-contained stories. Knowing the prequels is useful but not required, and it's tied more into the main plot of the books than the other two games. Fortunately there's a pretty good glossary.
If you only have time to play one Witcher game play 3. It's by far the best one and would already be in my top 5 RPGs of all time list if I had such a list.


On topic: A pile of wood, some rope and a torch make for an excellent and cruel ad-hoc execution.

I was thinking of the bucket/fire scene from season 2 Game of Thrones. I hate that show. Either way, rats is cheap. I'm scared of getting eaten or stung to death by bugs too, but I couldn't figure out a really easy way to practically apply the earwig from The Wrath of Khan.

I'll keep it in mind!
 
On bagpipes: haven't you noticed how all bagpipers live in the mountains. Surely not a coincidence.

Good acoustics.

But actually, not all bagpipers live in the mountains. My city isn't in the mountains and we've got a pipe band.

Mountains breed hardy and manly men, women, and goats. The bagpipe is the natural instrument of such folk.

Spoiler :
Though Brittany and Ireland aren't mountainous but whatever

"Look, mum. This goat's not quite dead yet!"

See how much you can listen to before turning off. I lasted 26 seconds. (At present, the world record. Though I admit to being quite deaf naturally already.)
 
Bah! I sometimes listen to the ear-splitting, shrill shriek of the Breton biniou (bagpipe) and bombarde duo for fun.

If you look at that video carefully, round about the 3:25 mark, you can see a cat being sick in the background.
 
Whatever that oboe like thing is, it looks like it's dangerous to play.
 
I don't know about that, but it's certainly dangerous to listen to. I think it may have shifted a blockage in my sinuses, though.

They'd barely started at that point. It did pick up after about 3 minutes or so. But these aren't what I would call real bagpipes. They sounded rather synthetic.
 
Maybe. But those are the "small pipes". They do sound a bit different. But they are authentic, and with as long a tradition as the "normal" pipes.

And more hygienically they don't blow into small pipes, so there isn't that build up of nasty phlegm inside them that you get with bagpipes.

It's called a bombarde. Like the early cannon known for sometimes exploding.
