    That, and they seem to get a disproportionate amount of healing from the support characters. It's marketing; no one wants a gameplay video from the perspective of someone getting owned.

    It didn't look sped up to me, or if was it was still well within the range of human control. I recently watched some old recordings from my competitive Quake days and they're just a ridiculous blur compared to the pace of modern games.

    It doesn't. Unless I badly misunderstand the interface, Irfanview requires to you add files to a slideshow manually. You can't just add a directory and all subdirectories. (I've got a tree of image directories from photography projects that is ten deep in some places.) Additionally, it just...

    Ugh. Terrible journalism. He completely conflates MMA with BJJ, and then the upshot of his article is that, based only on speculation, chokes must cause brain damage. There have been extensive, decades-long studies in Japan on judo practitioners of every age and they have determined that there...

    Congrats, Grumpus. Welcome to the Grape Ape club. As far as cardio, the most important thing you can do is to think of breathing as a skill. If you're ever holding your breath and clenching your diaphragm, you're doing it wrong. Your goal should be to maintaining deep, regular breathing...

    This is the best mouse I've used in a long time. I've got big hands and it's quite comfortable. The batteries last for 2-3 months. The range is great and it doesn't suffer from any kind of interference like other wireless mice I've owned. It's great for gaming as well, unless you're one of those...

    The reason athlete keep doping is that the cost of getting caught is less than the rewards gained by increased performance.

    Zillow is completely full of shit when it comes to price estimates. To start with, their "data" said that my house had been sold for $200,000 less than the purchase amount on a date smack in the middle of my eight-year occupancy (never happened). I contacted them to correct it, and after 5...

    A friend of mine was in Delta Force and knew all the guys that were portrayed in Black Hawk Down. He missed being in Mogadishu himself by a small margin.
