I used one of those silicone pot holder things to hold the bottle as it came out and then attempted to secure the top of the spray bottle and that’s when I realized – DUH! – that the bottle had warped from the boiling water… Then I used the same ladle that I had used to submerge it so it would fill itself up to fish out the bottle without touching the boiling water itself. I heard that comforting glug-glug-glug sound as it filled itself up, which was music to my apparently burn-a-phobic mind. I stared at my ladle and thought “no way, that’s going to drip out all over my hands” and then finally slipped the empty capless spray bottle itself into the boiling water and used the ladle to hold it under the water. If it stunk, it was the smallest room (and if it straight up didn’t work I could abandon that method and move onto something else).Īnd speaking of moving onto something else, this approach almost went off the rails immediately? Why? Well, I had this vat of boiling water on the stove and I was holding my spray bottle thinking “how am I going to fill this without dripping hot water all over myself?” – seriously I stood there a solid minute wondering how I was going to avoid giving myself third degree burns filling the bottle. While I’ve also heard awesome things about those methods, the simple boiling water applied with a spray bottle approach seemed like a good place to start. No scoring, no steamer, no spackle knife, no application with a weed sprayer, no fabric softener. Next I boiled a pot of water on the stove, since the method I’m trying this time is intensely simple, but I’ve also heard that it works like gangbusters. I couldn’t help but marvel at the dedication that was once put into this wallpaper job – the outlets were papered and the flowers even matched up. Then I removed the wall plates to free up some edges of the paper and hopefully make the removal process easier (there are two light switches and an outlet). Just so I don’t have any accessories in the way of the serious peelage that I was about to dive into. My first step was to clear things out (the soap pump, mirror above the sink, toilet paper, etc). So hold onto your hats, it’s about to get crazy up in here. I’m telling you guys, I’m like one of those people who works in “risk management” and gets their kicks watching paint dry. And since we have five rooms full of wallpaper (the foyer, the half bathroom, the kitchen, the dining room, and our bathroom), I decided that I would try a different removal method for each one and report back with the pros/cons about each approach as I went, all in the hopes of sussing out which ones bite the big one and which ones seem to work the best. I was actually really excited to tackle the half bathroom’s wallpaper removal project, because I am a strange breed of human and that’s my idea of a good time. SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE started out life in Early Access.Send out the ravens! (yes, that’s a Game of Thrones reference). If you played and enjoyed SUPERHOT VR, you’ll have a blast playing the original SUPERHOT and MCD as well ![]() It’s designed for conventional screens and longer play sessions. Maybe this time it will actually mean something. ![]() MCD offers a more refined, sharper, flashier experience than any SUPERHOT so far.
