Also known as lag spikes, or FPS drops, or frame stuttering, this annoying problem doesn’t happen only in Valve’s Source engine, as I’ve experienced, but also in GoldSrc(yeah, the Half-Life 1 engine). A gif will best explain this phenomenon: You can imagine that if in single player this is super annoying, multiplayer games like CS:GO […]

Make Magazine released a thorough article that covers how to make a Nuclear Fusor. Yeah even the name is cool, and I can’t really explain what it does. It’s basically an attempt […]

Here’s a panorama showing the ruptured dam, and the flooded area with red toxic sludge. I’m concerned about what could happen with the surrounding areas, because the localities that were hit the hardest are anyway […]

Now I’m going to give you a small tip(and you won’t regret it): Try Firefox. Use Firefox! It’s probably the best web browsing experience you can get. I’m going to prove […]

These fresnel lens are very practical due to their design.They’re very compact for their light focusing power. Focusing power, you ask? That’s just my word for this: You’ll see cement turning red hot, melting glass, and […]
