The 7 Biggest Dick Moves in the History of Online Gaming Tens of millions of adults spend all their free time in fictional worlds that are full of more tedious work and assholes than most real-life jobs. Combining Internet anonymity with people who have absurd amounts of free time, massive multiplayer online role-playing Gamers (MMORPG)are a better guarantee of asshole-ry than a digestive system, and yield uglier results. But there are some spectacular douche bags who have put more work into screwing with strangers than should be humanly possible. EVE Online's universe consists of 350,000 active subscribers piloting customizable space craft around 7,500 solar systems. ... but it doesn't tell you that you have to pay for those lasers. As with the real-world economy, making a profit in the world of EVE Online is easier if you form corporations. For instance, the Guiding Hand Social Club assassinates people for profit and steals their stuff for bonuses. First, they got jobs with the target corporation and worked their way up the ranks.

The "corrupted blood" disease spread rapidly within the popular online World of Warcraft game, killing off thousands of players in an uncontrolled plague. The infection raged, wreaking social chaos, despite quarantine measures. The experience provides essential clues to how people behave in such crises, Lancet Infectious Diseases reports. In the game, there was a real diversity of response from the players to the threat of infection, similar to those seen in real life. Some acted selflessly, rushing to the aid of other characters even though that meant they risked infection themselves. Others fled infected cities in an attempt to save themselves. And some who were sick made it their mission to deliberately infect others. Researcher Professor Nina Fefferman, from Tufts University School of Medicine, said: "Human behaviour has a big impact on disease spread. Constraint

9 Video Game Easter Eggs That Took Years to Find Video game Easter eggs are fun extras for the fans and are usually even easier to find than the real thing--they might demand 10,000 coins, but you never need to stand up. But some of these little secrets, cheats or glitches are so well-hidden they stay out of sight for years, even with millions of gamers exploring every nook and cranny of the game world. For instance... Sarcastic Announcer (Wave Race Blue Storm, GameCube) Right off the bat here's one that took nine years to find. The jet ski racing game Wave Race: Blue Storm for the Nintendo Gamecube already had a secret password entry screen (accessed by pressing START+Z+X on the options menu) unlocking everything from dolphin riding to secret time attack competitions. The cheat was based on messing around in the audio options and, sadly, the only three people who play with the audio options screen are the guy who programmed it, the guy testing it, and the guy who doesn't exist.

6 Beloved TV Shows (That Traumatized Cast Members For Life) Anyone who's worked shoveling shit at a circus can tell you that making entertainment isn't as much fun as watching it. The same goes for TV shows, and in some cases, it's even worse than the elephant shit thing. There are shows you loved and grew up with that, behind the scenes, were a constant, dark carnival of torment. The Show: An extraterrestrial puppet confounds his adopted Earth family with his cat-eating ways. But Behind The Scenes... A dictatorial puppeteer confounds his cast with a deathtrap set. In his Inferno, Dante never described a torture with which to punish 80s sitcom stars. ALF creator and head puppeteer Paul Fusco epitomized eccentricity. Keep in mind, the set was living-room sized. Resetting the trap doors was an arduous process, as the only alternative was to let actors randomly fall to their deaths. #5. A geriatric man tries not to fuck up stating the price of a projection TV in a legally-binding way. But at least he gave her dignity. Congrats! #4. "Want to hear a joke?

But in the case of classic works of art, you're often right. Yes, as much as we mock Dan Brown around here, the one thing he's right about is that old-school artists like Michelangelo and Da Vinci loved to plant little "Easter Eggs" in their work, often things that would never have made it past the censors. The Floating Brain God Michelangelo's ode to the Book of Genesis, The Creation of Adam, has endured not only as the most famous of the Sistine Chapel panels, but also one of the single most iconic images of humanity. Note how Adam's pose mimics God's, how mankind is framed off from the Heavens by earth and mountains, and how God and his entourage are rolling around in a gigantic, floating brain. Wait, What the Hell? Look closely. While some might dismiss this as a coincidence, experts suggest that it would be harder to explain that this was not Michelangelo's intention. ...is?
Some 15 Awesome Widescreen Abstract Wallpapers by Humza / October 29, 2011 In this post we have wound up some really amazing abstract wallpapers. The special thing is the fact that majority of these wallpapers are huge, 1920×1200 resolution or so to fit your widescreens perfectly. We hope you love what we collect and share. The credit goes to the following artists: Bruno Kenzo, David Fuhrer, Casperium, Jason Benjamin, BOBBb12345, NKeo, skam4 6 Glitches That Accidentally Invented Modern Gaming Half of the art you enjoy every day is probably due to some happy accident. For instance, most of the tension in Jaws can be credited to the fact that the fake shark they were using was a mechanical nightmare and too ridiculous to show on screen. You wouldn't think video games would be subject to this, however -- a mistake in the code of a game would most likely just melt your Xbox (again) rather than invent some fun new game mechanic. A Bad Mouse Click Leads to Lara Croft's Rack It's not fair to say that Lara Croft and Tomb Raider are only famous for one reason (or even two). Via 101 Video GamesThose are the protruding orbs on her chest. Well, as it turns out, Lara's bust is a result of a mistake. And apparently replaced them with oil-change funnels. The rest of the (male) crew immediately asked him to keep it that way, solidifying a stereotype about video gamers that we have not been able to shake in the 15 years since. Via TheAngryPixel.comYep.

Optical Illusion Pictures at WomansDay.com - Cool Optical Illusion If you’ve ever felt like you go a little cross-eyed after taking a peek at an optical illusion, then you know they can be a pretty intense phenomenon. What your eyes perceive when looking at one of these images is actually a visual illusion; you see the image as something different than what it is because the different cells and receptors in your eyes distinguish images and colors at dissimilar speeds. The eye can only receive a limited amount of visual stimuli, but as your brain constantly processes the visual information, it gives you the illusion of continuous sight. Whether it’s an optical, physiological or cognitive illusion, the design plays a trick on your eyes (and mind). Check out some of the interesting illusions below—but beware, you may not be able to absorb them all in one sitting. Flowing Leaves The brown leaf shapes against a green background make this look as if the entire group is flowing—making waves if you focus on the picture as a whole. Pulsing Vortex Waves Hypnosis
