Anything that has a chance of reducing lag being gone from the game is fine with me!

Playertd reacted to Docwagon in Doc's firearms thread
Day 5:
Cold draw was 2.02
At the end of my 10 , I was routinely drawing in the 1.62-1.68 range very smoothly.
30 minutes deliberate practice
Still in the 1.62-1.68 range, but the final two dipped into 1.45 (both #9 and #10).
Came home at the end of shift and did a cold draw at 1.92.
I did about 10 minutes of reloading drills and am very happy with the speed and smoothness of my reloads. I'm using snap caps, so I can't really recreate the feel of the gun going dry. I'm sort of cheating in other words, where as in the real world I'm not likely to realize my gun is empty until I see the slide lock back or pull the trigger and realize its not going bang. However knowing I'm going to reload I can get the new magazine in the gun as the one leaving the gun is hitting the floor. I started practicing over my bed so I didn't have to keep bending down to pick up the mags and realized that was MUCH smarter and I got a lot more reps in with less down time.
If anyone's interested, I'll post up how I do my reloads.

I prefer slightly more realistic guns in my cods, but if the game play is balanced and fun I'm sure I can get used to this sci-fi shit

Video game boner!
Can't wait I really hope this game is good. Fighting games used to be the most fun I've ever had with video games.

Chris is on his way to becoming a sophisticated gamer
This game looks really cool but I don't think I could deal with shitty driving, same reason I couldn't get into saints row 3.

Playertd reacted to Palle in Human 'suspended animation' trials to start this month
Surgeons from the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are set to begin suspended animation trials by dramatically cooling down trauma victims in an effort to keep them alive during critical operations. Twenty years ago, Peter Safar and Ron Bellamy proposed that the rapid induction of hypothermia could "buy time" for a trauma surgical team to control bleeding. Now, thanks to the work of Peter Rhee and Samuel Tisherman, this idea is officially ready for prime time. EPR-CAT "We are suspending life, but we don't like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science fiction," noted Tisherman in a New Scientist article. "So we call it emergency preservation and resuscitation." The idea is to buy patients precious time during critical operations, such as after a massive heart attack, stabbings, or shootings. The technique will be used on 10 patients who would otherwise be expected to die from their injuries. The doctors on the project will be paged when a candidate patient arrives at the hospital; there's usually one case like this every month, typically with survival rates less than 7%. It's part a feasibility and safety study, called the Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma (EPR-CAT). Because patients cannot give informed consent, the study will be conducted under theexception-from-informed consent process, which includes community consultation and public notification. So, if you live in the Pittsburgh area, and this seems too risky for you, you have to opt out (which you can do here). How It Works This technique involves internal rather than external cooling. A team of surgeons will remove all of the patient's blood, replacing it with a cold saline solution; the cold fluid is administered through a large tube, called a cannula, which is placed into the aorta, the largest artery in the body. This will slow down the body's metabolic functions, significantly reducing its need for oxygen. Then, a heart-lung bypass machine will be used to restore blood circulation and oxygenation as part of the resuscitation process. A state of profound hypothermia will be induced, at about 50ºF (10ºC), to provide a "prolonged period of cardiac arrest" after extensive bleeding. In other words, clinical death. The technique, which was developed by Peter Rhee, was successfully tested on pigs back in 2000 (his resulting study can be found here). Writing in C|Net, Michelle Starr explains more: After inducing fatal wounds in the pigs by cutting their arteries with scalpels, the team replaced the pigs' blood with saline, which lowered their body temperature to 10 degrees Celsius. All of the control pigs, whose body temperature was left alone, died. The pigs who were resuscitated at a medium speed demonstrated a 90 percent survival rate, although some of their hearts had to be given a jump start. Afterwards, the pigs demonstrated no physical or cognitive impairment. The technique, therefore, will only be used as an emergency measure on patients who have suffered cardiac arrest after severe traumatic injury, with their chest cavity open and having lost at least half their blood already — injuries that see only a seven percent survival rate. The survival rate of these patients will then be measured against a control group that has not received the treatment before further testing can begin. The human body can only be placed in this state for a few hours, so we're still quite a ways off from the suspended animation typically featured in sci-fi. But if this technique is any indication, we may get there just yet. Sources:

Some people ride on the dirt! KTM 200xc, tons of two stroke fun

Playertd reacted to Jason in Motorcycles
I have a quick and extremely embarrassing bike story.
Bought a brand new kawasaki ninja when I was 20 I think, got it home in truck. Got it out of truck. Started it up. All good.
Dropped the clutch, did a unintentional wheely and dumbed that mother fucker right on the driveway. While my future father in law watched, I might add.
Not one of my finer moments. Sold it back to the dealer the next day and proceed to pay the balance off for the next 3 years....

Playertd reacted to JsinOwl in Destiny: Everything we know
I'd imagine that players can come and go over the course of it. I've been in some 90+ minute games of Rush in BC2 that were absolutely epic, but the 24 players at the end probably weren't the same 24 that started, know what I mean. Either way, I routinely play for 4 hours at a stretch, so count my ass in.
