More ways to snipe people in video games!


Yep, here it goes again, more ways to snipe people in video games!

Tip 1: Move.
If you know the general direction of enemy snipers, you'll want to move left and right while facing them. Moving forward towards the direction of the snipers barely shifts your head.

Tip 2: Move some more!
Once you get your kill, some games like TF2 show the killer when you die. This means the person who died now knows the location you are in. If you move to a different spot 1-3 kills, chances are they'll hesitate.

Tip 3: Find a good spot.
Finding good spots means going to places where snipers usually don't go to. Sure, there's sniper holes, but you could also stand in between the doorway, half cloaked.

Tip 4: It doesn't hurt to waste ammo.
In most video games there is such thing as a respawn room where you can reload your sniper rifle. Therefore, just keep shooting. You'll hit someone eventually.

Just a quick joke

Three old ladies are sitting in a diner, chatting about various things. One lady says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down."

The second lady says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed and I couldn't remember whether I was going to sleep or had just woken up!

The third lady smiles smugly, "Well, my memory is just as good as it's always been, knock on wood," she says as she raps on the table. Then with a startled look on her face, she asks, "Who's there?"



AHAHAHAHAAH

What to do on an ariline.


I went to hawaii for the summer. Here's some tips you'll need to use for your next long flight trip.

1. Never ask for food.
It means they didn't give you enough, which is kinda insulting.

2. You can ask for water, soda, etc.
Its fine for someone to get thirsty. They'll be glad for you to buy something.

3. Make the most of your trip.
In the 767 I was in, there were personal entertainment systems. I got to watch movies the whole way and play some o.k. games.

4. Always ask for water
Usually, the flight attendants come by every now and then passing out water. Ask for one, because I guarantee you will need some later.

5. Keep your seat up when you're not using it.
Keeping your seat up not only straightens your back, it helps the person behind you. Putting your seat back cuts off 3-6 inches for the person behind you, which is kind of uncomfortable.

6. Don't be rude.
There's only a limited amount of flight attendants, so you'll get a crappy reputation.

Have fun!

How to end a not responding program quickly


Ever been jammed into one of those not responding loops? Lets say Firefox stops responding. You repeatedly click "End now" but it just freezes up your computer.

Here's how to get out of the loop and end your program efficiently and quickly.

In this case, you are trying to end "Explorer". Instead of hitting "End now":

1: Find the process. Firefox is firefox.exe.
2: Hit end process
You should see a warning. Hit ok.

Poof! It's gone!

How to snipe people in video games


No, I'm not talking about Tactical Assassin or anything like that, I'm talking about games like Counter Strike and Team fortress 2. They take lightning fast reaction, and here Im going to tell you how to blow heads off efficiently, like the guy from "Meet the Sniper".

Step # 1:
Pick a good spot. If you stand in the most obvious sniper area, then blam, your head goes boom.

Step # 2:
Move your body. A lot. In some games like HL2: DM, the crossbow takes time to get where it's going. So if you move a lot. there's a higher chance of not being hit. You'll want to move left and right, not just one way. That makes it really easy for your opponent to blow your head off.

Step # 3:
Use the element of surprise. If you're getting pwn3d by a "1337" sniper, then wait for a few moments. Then, step out into the open and shoot. Shoot! Now!

Step # 4:
The head isn't everything. The head is actually harder to hit, when it comes to shooting someone that moves back and fourth, hit the body first to weaken him. He'll start running back to get health, usually only in one direction. Since it is rather easy to hit someone that's running one way, there's your chance.

Remember, have fun and don't whine!

How to crack into a vending machine


With my first post on the geek_blog, we'll talk about how to crack into a vending machine. No, I have not figured out how to get free drinks yet, that's your job. This guide I am telling you is just to impress your friends.

First things first:

On the average coke machine, you see this:
-The buttons.
-Like...
-The one that says fanta.

The first button is considered "1".
The second, is "2"
The third is "3"
... etc.


So first you must know a few commands.
"2" and "3" means "up" and "down".
"1" means "Exit"
"4" means select.

So now you are ready. Enter "4""2""3""1".
Sometimes you may have to enter this twice.

You'll most likely see the sign EROR. Remember which button is up and down. EROR is just a n00b blocker.

Taken from wikihow:
  • EROR: This menu option displays error messages for the machine, including problems that occurred with the refrigeration system, the vending mechanism, the bill changer, and the bill validator. To see error messages, press the select button (button 4) when the display shows EROR, and then scroll through to see specific errors. Select an individual error to see more details. Generally if only one type of error has occurred you won't be able to scroll through other error options.
  • CASH: This option allows you to see the machine's total historical cash intake, as well as the resettable cash counted for each drink selection. Press the select button when the the LED display shows CASH. This will show you the historical cash counted by the machine. Note that it will include fractions of a dollar, such that if it displays 1452425, the historical cash count is $14,524.25. Use the scroll buttons (2 or 3) to navigate to the cash counts for each slot (each beverage selection). The number displayed will show first the slot number and then the revenue for that slot number since the last time the counter was reset. In some machines, it will be preceded by the letters CA or SL (for "slot").
  • SALE: This option allows you to see the machine's historical total number of sales, as well as the resettable number of sales for each drink selection. It works like the CASH menu above, except that the numbers displayed reflect the number of beverages sold.
  • RTN: Sometimes labeled EXIT, this option stands for "Return To Normal" and allows you to exit the menu completely and return the machine to normal mode. Press the select button to exit.



Have fun and impress your friends!
