Howdy everybody, I started to notice recently that soccer and swimming aren't cutting it anymore, when it comes to picking up ladies jk ;) ;) So I started looking at other sports that I could take on when I get back to the old country. I've been looking at American Football, since I like full contact team sports. So I am asking you guys, any tips on how to start? I understand the game and the rules, but I am asking more about drills and stuff like that. I am not really the smallest, I am 6'2", 170 pounds. I played hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, did swimming. Any tips? Should I go for it? Thank you for your time PS: I am not really scared of getting injured. PS2: I've also been thinking about rugby, but I don't think my town offers a rugby club/team/whatever. PS3: I know I gotta get bigger with my weight. I am working on that.

Boxing chess looks quite manly! Pretty darn cool. I have decided to go for Football, at least try it. Might just as well go for it. YOLO, right?

It's all good. Yea, currently I am in the USA, I am leaving the 12th June and I am looking for sports to play when I get back to Slovakia.

Slovakia works a wee bit differently... high schools don't offer sports. I couldn't find lacrosse in my area. I might ask my friends if they know something, but I doubt it, when I didn't find anything.

That GAA thing looks like fun times... shame there is nothing like that in my neck of the woods. I'd try rugby maybe, if there was a team in the city, I live in.

Of course I am not playing a sport for picking up girls, that's just a joke. :D The thing is that I will graduate high school in the US pretty soon and when I get back to the old country, I wanna try something new too. 170 is fairly light, I know. Especially for 6'2". I am a mixture between a mesomorph and an ectomorph, which pisses me off sometimes, since it's hard for me to add weight. At the moment I am working out twice a day, running 5 miles in the morning and playing baseball. I am fairly strong and well conditioned for only being 170 pounds. @GRS, I played hockey for a long time too, but I simply want to try something new. And the idea of running different plays for different situations is appealing to me too.

Any word on the performance impact of Windows 8 on the computer? Does it use more CPU/RAM/Video RAM? If I played Arma 2 on a machine running Windows 7 and then on the same machine just running Windows 8, would the FPS change visibly or even drastically?

Made my day better a thousand times. Thank you :D

Well, guess you can now ask the Takistanis if they do fiki fiki :D :D

lol, it's Abrams, not Abrahams And also, why would BIS waste their time, money and energy on something so trivial and something that can be done via scripting, modding...

Today a Russian Yak-42 airplane crashed. Traveling on board was the KHL hockey team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Amongst the dead are Czech, Slovak, Russian and Swedish hockey players...

AFAIK there are some serious limitations with this method.

Whilst this is great, it is not something brand new. Computer programs have been known to pass the Turing test before already. Actually the above written statement is partially false, because Turing said that a computer should also be able to say in human language what he can write. Then and only then the Turing test will be fully passed.

Would you mind elaborating on the wingmen idea? You mean like working data link between aircraft for target acquisition/marking and other stuff (basically a SADL data link)? Or maybe something else? Because aside from the data sharing between aircraft, you can pretty much play as wingmen with your buddies IMO.

I agree that driving around a Nimitz class super carrier would be a very nice option but it is simply not feasible. I am not saying that I do not want that feature but we oughta keep it real, if ya know what I mean. Smaller ships can do the job just as good and their are still able to satisfy all of us bathtub captains. As for the pilot stealing a tank, well it's: a) a very poorly made mission you got there, if you are able to do that <sarcasm> b) a very skilled pilot. I mean being able to pilot a plane, jump out of it, steal a tank from the AI or real players and then using it all by himself... so real </sarcasm>

This issue persists. It's pretty visible when you are trying to drop a guy and he is still alive even after 2 headshots. This happens quite often when you try to drop a guy from a larger distance and it still takes at least 2 headshots to kill him when he is prone.

Skynet shall avenge the Cylons replaced by CGI.

Skynet approves of this

+1 from me

My wish would be to have separate crosshair setting for client and server. Client would be limited by the server so it would look like this. If client with crosshairs set to off connects to server with crosshairs on, the given client will not see the crosshairs until he would switch the setting. So some clients would have crosshairs whilst others wouldn't. So the setting would be entirely on the client, if he wants crosshairs or not. If client with crosshairs set to on connects to server with crosshairs off, the given client will not have crosshairs at all, just like the rest of the server. So this would be enforced server side. It would serve one purpose and I am sure many ArmA veterans will agree with me now. The crosshairs have become as much of a curse for me (and surely many more), it annoys me when I see them, when I move 2 meters and they get bigger and they are on way too many servers. Now you will react that it would not be fair, when some players would have crosshairs on and some wouldn't. Well you are right, but! Firstly nobody would force you to turn them off (aside from the server of course) and secondly players playing with crosshairs are probably too noob to hit anything so or so.

A day without puking in basic training is like a day without water. It is pretty normal that when your body is pushed to it's limits, you start puking. Nothing wrong about that. Do I want to see this in a game? No. The reason behind this is that it should not happen during combat, when you are a trained soldier. About the simulation inception. Why would you want to do that? For training purposes? Can't you just place normal AI combatants and train on them? It has the same effect.

EULA is part of every software. It stands for End User License Agreement. It's basically the long text you never read when you install a game. EULA are basically rules which dictate what you can and can not do with the given software. Unbinarizing BIS work is forbidden.

Whilst I do not hope for the very large ships (super carriers, destroyers, frigates, cruisers) to be drivable, which would not be realistic AFAIK, because these ships operate over the horizon IRL and would never come close to shores due to land based threats. What I hope for is smaller ships, which are yet capable of transporting troops and equipment. Namely the LCAC, LST, LSI, etc. So in short, ships which operate closer to shores and are designed support ongoing (mostly amphibious) operations from the sea.

What quality? I think you fail to see our point. Those games lack quality. They are just really bad.

What is this even? Name one! Or thou shalt burn in the eternal fires of doom!
