Hey, You Asked ‘Em!
Last week, The Skull hosted a live AMA session. One could hardly expect a reasonable person to imagine what transpired in that den of ill repute, so we’ll tell you straight:
Blabberin’ on skulls,
an’ horses’ coccyges,
When one brave soul
proved fain to tease:Hie thee Cap’n,
to the land beyond darkness.
Where gold an’ copper
blend themselves proper.Well shiver me timbers,
said we.
An’ aye!
An’…whatnow?
As you’ve no doubt guessed, we called our Shaman to interpret. She explained, "The land beyond darkness refers to After Dark, a special PCB process that uses transparent solder mask on top of a black substrate, thereby allowing an intricate PCB design that blends copper, gold, black, and white artwork with sophisticated electronics."
She then added, "To avoid a disastrous outcome, you must create an After Dark Skull. And then you must give it to me. For keepsies."
Taking it Slow
For those of you working to reveal the secret in her eyes—and claw your way into the Hall of Fame with 200 points—we have a hint for you! If you observe the video in its native habitat, you can pause it and then use the , and . keys to move backward or forward one frame at a time. Good luck, and have fun!
What’s next?
