Pouring boiling water into cold glass will crack it . I ' m not a scientist , so I don ' t know how cold the glass has to be , or how thin . But yes , this happened to me . You can mitigate it by running hot tap water over the glass to warm it up before pouring boiling water over it . That step was too much for me , so I just raised the temp in the house . <| sep |> I don ' t see this doable on PS 3 . Only PC would guarantee us stability needed to pull it off , and even then we have the issue of random server disconnectinternet connection breaking and such . I am all up for it . Could dedicate one or two sessions of 6 hours to it . <| sep |> Great ! Thanks for the info . <| sep |> Yip . Came with the house and the day it was set to expire my furnace had a gas leak so I renewed it one year , and it cost me far more than it was worth .
