Save 30 Seconds or Save a Life
Driving at 65 miles per hour, it takes approximately 365 feet to come to a full stop. Just slowing down by 5 miles per hour can decrease that stopping distance by up to 100 feet. Is it worth it to save 30 seconds of travel time instead of saving a life?
I implore you to please watch this entire video all the way through to the end. It's not as graphic as you might think, but it just might change your life.

Battlefield 3 More Details Revealed
Alan Kertz, Senior Gameplay Designer on BF3, fielded a number of questions via Twitter the other day. Here are some details from that Q&A session (courtesy of gameranx.com):
Squad Specs don't stack and players can use as the same numbers of squad specs as the squad members.
Frag won't be doing a lot of damage to the environment since they aren't really high explosives.
No Hitreg and there will be a totally new system for BF3.
Multithreading will be supported.
Supersonic bullets make a crackling noise when close enough.
No weapons for the pilot of a transport chopper, but there will be rewards.
There will be lots of never before seen vehicles, some returning classics, and a TON of customization items.
6x is the highest zoom level for most guns apart from recon rifle.
Flag number varies between Conquest Small and Conquest Large. But is consistent across platforms.
Squad beacon goes away on respawn.
When the beacon is outdoors in the open you control the parachute.
A host of fast and light Jeeps with a heavy MG will be at your disposal.
No shotgun sniper rifles.
Up close in hardcore bolt action sniper rifles can 1 Hit Kill at close range. In normal, no 1 Hit Kill with bolts in the body.
The ranks are based on Authentic Marine ranks, with comendations to fill out the full 50.
Marksman Bonus for sniper headshots beyond 50m are back!
Wide variety of shotgun types, but only 1 pump action - Semi, Auto, Tube, Magazine, different spreads.
Flight models will be identical on PC and consoles.
Players can shoot stingers from the passenger seats.
The mortar has both HE and Smoke rounds.
When you get defibbed you are "back to life." You need to accept to use anything other than your pistol in prone.

New Tribes: Ascend Screenshots
New screenshots of the upcoming Tribes: Ascend were displayed at this past weekend's PAX 2011 expo. The game is currently slated for a first quarter, 2012 release. Man, I sure miss me some Katabatic!
George R. R. Martin and the Avengers
Claudio Sanchez, lead singer for one of my favorite bands Coheed & Cambria, is also a hardcore comic book reader and fan (FYI: he has his own line of comics based on the storylines that pervade the Coheed & Cambria albums). Yesterday, he Tweeted the picture below. Apparently George R. R. Martin, the writer of the A Song of Ice and Fire series (most people might recognize the first book, The Game of Thrones, since it's now a popular HBO series), wrote a letter to the Marvel Bullpen back in the 1960's and had it published in Avengers issue #12 which, according to my basic research, hit the shelves in January, 1965.
