[[quoteright:250:[[Series/{{Batman}} http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BatmanHitFlashes1_1217.jpg]]]]
A moment of violence is replaced with a flash of light, a cloud of dust, or some other momentary obstruction. Lasts less than a second. Used to cover up the actual action while still revealing cause and effect. Can be used to good effect in a FightUnscene, may be present with a SecondPersonAttack, or when a character is hit by something that will immobilize them.
See also BigBallOfViolence, FlashOfPain, HitStop, BattleDiscretionShot, BlackScreenOfDeath, SecondPersonAttack.
Looks like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8LcKev4k1Q this]], in case the trope description wasn't clear enough.
* The first season of ''Manga/DragonBall Z'', when it was dubbed, was one of the worst offenders of this. The company that dubbed it took special care to delete every frame where a hit connected and replace it with a sloppily-drawn star on a black background. (And in a show where the main draw are the big fights, it's not hard to understand why this was so horrible.)
** Same goes for the edited version of ''DragonBallKai'', where ''many'' hits are replaced with this and barrages of punches or blasts are completely removed.
* The ''RurouniKenshin'' {{OVA}}s combine it with the DiagonalCut every time someone lands a sword cut, with gruesome results afterwards.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' did this most times it had a MegatonPunch, and it even included SuperDeformed versions of characters faces.
* While the first seasons of ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' merely relied on cuts for censoring of physical violence, ''Anime/DigimonSavers''' dub used an insultingly childish impact screen to censor a GroinAttack, and was rightly derided for it.
** The first example in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' came in episode 4, where Gabumon gets punched in the face by Red Vegiemon. A white flash is put in its place, and also is inserted from time to time during Veemon's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown by Red Vegiemon.
* Lampshaded in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries,'' where one of the running gag catchphrases is "it is implied that you are punching me!".
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' uses this quite a lot, considering the amount of violence in the battles, though a large number of hits are still shown. Mostly they're just flashes, but like the ''Digimon Savers'' episode above, ''A Johto Photo Finish'' used a very cartoonish hit flash just to disguise Charizard getting punched in the face by Harrison's Blaziken. While the aftermath is still shown (Charizard's cheek has a sort of dent in it from the blow), the attack itself isn't all that violent. Episodes like ''Pasta La Vista'' and ''A Shroomish Skirmish'' pretty much disregarded the hit flash entirely during their climactic fights.
** Sometimes the hit flash is actually two moves exploding and creating a field of dust; this is plot-relevant-ish and used to create suspense as we wonder which of the Pokémon survived the explosion.
* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' is desperately in love with these, and they often last for about or more than a solid second.
%%* Happens sometimes in ''Anime/SailorMoon''.
* Occurs at least twice in Ryuhei Kitamura's film ''Versus''. The most noticeable example is that of a crook who goes into hysterics and is becalmed by a pistol-whip from his partner.
* The Christian-themed, possibly-fake, and terminally-Canadian movie ''The Rev'' had a habit of slowing the scene to a freeze, fading to black, and jumping to the next action with no fade-in. It's as if they sat around and asked "What is the most noticeable way we can think of to avoid showing violence?"
* Happened in ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk''. When Blonsky hit Spars in the face with a chair, the POV was hers and there was a split second of blinding white.
* Used during Wez's fatal headbutt attack in ''TheRoadWarrior''. Not exactly censoring anything, since it shows the limp body being thrown over the wall immediately afterwards.
* Occurs twice in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'': First when Po crashes into the exhibition/ceremony, and later when the Furious Five battle [[BigBad Tai Lung]] on the bridge.
* Used in an unusual scene in the 1983 Lou Ferrigno film ''Hercules'', where the title character fights a bear. When Hercules punches the bear from the POV of the animal, his fist flies towards the camera repeatedly, and each time, strange strobe lights flash and lasers sound, due to the cheap FX used in the low-budget film. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqMfxmzVd28]]
* In the [[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Hitchcock]] film ''Spellbound'', [[spoiler: a character commits suicide. Filmed from his point-of-view, the gun is pointed at the camera, and a bright red flash is seen in the otherwise black & white film. Some copies don't bother preserving this...]]
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* The 1960's ''Series/{{Batman}}'' TV series would often cover the impacts of blows (and ineptitude of fight sequences[[note]]This wasn't due to the incompetence of the actors or stunt team but a side effect of the brutal schedule the show was shot under leaving little time for rehearsing fight scenes.[[/note]]) with a full-frame color card splashed with descriptive words like "POW!" or "BAM!" or "WHAMMO!". Initially, the cards were not used for concealment, but for economy. In the early first season episodes, the comic-book sound effects were optically superimposed on top of the fight scene footage, often with animation (spinning into frame, changing size, etc.). However, this was expensive, so the cheaper method of cutting the full-frame card into the shot ''a la'' silent film captions was used in later episodes, and found to look even better.
** Due to the show's popularity and use of visible words during the flashes, children of the 1960's-1980's often had the show cited in English classes as an example of onomatopoeia that they could easily identify with.
** Parodied in an episode of ''Series/TheAvengers'', "The Winged Avenger", where the villain is clobbered with large-scale comic book panels splayed with such words. Additionally, the background music [[MusicalPastiche parodies]] Batman's TitleThemeTune.
** Also parodied in an episode of ''TheSimpsons'', in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqym3z1ZfnQ "campy Seventies version"]] of [[CaptainErsatz Radioactive Man]], complete with even more nonsensical descriptive words like "MINT!", "POOO!" and "NEWT!"
* The 2010 remaster of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' adds these in where previously they didn't exist; apparently, [[MediaWatchdog Standards And Practices]] was less strict in 1994...
** So far these only show up in the Putty fights, though.
** ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger'' also uses this.
[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Some ProfessionalWrestling shows (at least in the UK and Canada) do this, but only when one of the combatants is hit with a foreign object. Depending on the show it will either (a) freeze-frame just before impact but play the sound of the chair/ladder/battleship hitting the guy or (b) momentarily cut to some stock footage of a crowd. The transmission will then cut to the victim writhing in pain on the ground. It should be noted that this is mostly due to ExecutiveMeddling on the part of the networks; the same footage generally airs unaltered in the US.
** More important to note that the ExecutiveMeddling comes from the US who seem to think that outside the US we shouldn't be able to see violence. The main culprit is the WWE who used to edit their [=PPVs=] before sending them to channel 4.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* Graphic adventure game ''VideoGame/DejaVu'' used intertitle cards that covered the entire first-person view window, like the ones in the 1960s ''Series/{{Batman}}'' series, when you fired a gun ("BLAM") or punched someone ("SOCKO").
** ''VideoGame/{{Shadowgate}}'' used it as well when you hit something, giving you a view-covering "POW!"
* In ''VideoGame/TheSims'', a cat killing mice gets the same "censor pixels" as a nude Sim. Sims fighting or dying in fires invoke no censor pixels, however.
* Then there's ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'', which uses the flash of either white light when saving a Little Sister - and a red one when harvesting them.
* In every ''StreetFighter'' game where you can play as Akuma, when you do the Shun Goku Satsu and it connects, the screen flashes with these before cutting back to the famous "Shoushi!" pose.
* ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Sacred Stones]]'' use this for the Assassin's instant-kill critical. Additionally ''Blazing Sword'' uses it in the cutscene where [[spoiler:Eliwood kills Ninian with Durandal]].
[[folder:Web Animation]]
* Sometimes used in ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' (like in ''[[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail101.html car]]'') and sometimes not (like in ''[[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail46.html your friends]]'').
* Used in the ''Franchise/{{Bionicle}}'' on-line animations, which made good use of "stylized" LimitedAnimation.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* The linked video above is from ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
** For context, she was a plant clone made by Poison Ivy.
* Used and abused in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''.
* ''{{Freakazoid}}'' - Mostly just when it was funny.
* Most of the [[{{DCAU}} DC Animated Universe]], unless a character himself (such as Superman or Batman's cape) obstructs the impact shot. [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batman]] animators were also fond of using silhouettes, which arguably worked with his shadowy image.
** This is absent in a number of fights after ''JusticeLeague'' went HeroesUnlimited. Such as the ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode "Panic in the Sky", when Galatea fought Supergirl while taunting her, making the fight seem especially gruesome. [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kerai/1120528745739.gif Click here]] for a clip. In the movie ''Starcrossed'', the hitflash is actually an incredibly brightened frame of Hawkgirl ''crying out in pain'' from the hit she took.
** In the edited version of BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker flashes were added to all the fight scenes. They were removed for the later PG-13 version.
* When Frankie punches out her date on ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
** Used in another episode when Bloo gets punched in the face by a young girl for taking some toy glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth. The punch is shown from the POV of Bloo, and the girl's fist flies towards the camera before the split-second Hit Flash.
* Exception: ''{{GI Joe}}'' -- [[ATeamFiring No one ever got shot]], but the moment of impact was always visible.
* Often subverted in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', which has exaggerated, SlowMotion impact shots, with green goo and teeth flying everywhere.
** It will however use it at other times, sometimes with hidden bonuses, such as the episode "Los Dos Mojos", where a hit flash from Bubbles is actually the words "Mojo" rapidly cycled.
* Used quite often on ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
** In one Characters/BugsBunny short, Bugs hits a dog over the head with a club. You see Bugs raise the club, then a flash, and then the dog has a [[CranialEruption huge bump on his head]], while Bugs is holding a broken club. The swing of the club is never seen, ironically making the action appear all the more violent.
** In ''Bugs Bunny Rides Again'': Chased by Yosemite Sam, Bugs goes through a tunnel and then covers the exit with a brick wall. As Sam enters the tunnel, the screen goes dark - and suddenly we see him silhouetted against the wall for a brief instant.
*** The versions cited above have suffered editing due to concerned parties afraid of what they called "imitatible violence." Since race issues were also treated differently, they likewise suffered this sort of editing.
**** It's worth noting the Golden Collection DVD sets have the unedited versions of the cartoons.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' isn't shy about showing violence, but they had a creative variation on this trope in an episode in which time was skipping ahead at random intervals. After Fry delivers a pickup line to Leela, there's a short timejump, and we see Fry with a black eye saying "Oww..."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' used these particularly well, normally showing [[SecondPersonAttack punches to the face from the point of view of the victim]]. Just as the incoming fist is filling the screen, HitFlash in white and sometimes red, and change to a shot of the punchee getting knocked back.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' would often have [[SecondPersonAttack a shot of someone's fist rushing at the camera]], a brief HitFlash, then a shot of the target of that punch being knocked backwards.
** Got a little odd in "Aftershock Part 2," though, when at one point they had two characters talking, had the HitFlash and shot of one character getting knocked back, but never even showed the windup to the punch. Was either a goof, or to convey the blow coming so quickly/unexpectedly.
* The 2003 ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' series uses a variant - whenever a sword is used, the screen quickly cuts to black and the movement of the slash is shown. Even if it is {{Bowdlerization}}, it looks [[RuleOfCool pretty cool]].
* Used in ''MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers'', when [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Pete]] knocks Mickey out.
* Completely averted with ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', which had virtually every blow delivered on screen.
* Used occasionally in the ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' animated series, most notably when DK punched King K. Rool or another Kremling.
* Done once on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' (which is known for its often graphic and brutal on screen violence) in the episode "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" when one of the the kids while playing football headbutts Pip who was not wearing a helmet.
* WesternAnimation/DragonBooster used this whenever a character was hit and captured.
* The ''SpongebobSquarepants'' episode "Pizza Delivery" has this when Squidward throws the pizza at a {{jerkass}} customer.
** This also happens in "The Two Faces of Squidward" when [=SpongeBob=] repeatedly hits Squidward with a door.
* The ending to the ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode "Who Let the Ed In?" has this happen to Ed when Eddy hits him with an imaginary potato. "Don't blink."
[[folder:Truth In Television]]
* There is a principle in fluid dynamics called 'cavitation'. When impacts occur at extremely high speed underwater, a flash of light as well as sound and heat can be produced, as seen [[http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/77 here]], in the 'Strike at 20,000 fps' section. It's 11 minutes in. A cooler example would be the pistol shrimp shown [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeFUO2F7Gvw here]], which uses the same principles of cavitation you just mentioned, but can do it naturally.
* The phenomenon of "seeing stars" is caused by the fluid in the eyes moving faster than the eyes themselves and slamming into the retina. This likely causes the victim to see a flash, as well as the aftermath, and probably explains the last part of the above comment.
* When animating pretty much anything (especially an explosion or other...fiery event) one blank frame followed by the aftermath of the strike is a whole lot easier - and is a whole lot more visually appealing - than drawing it manually. Collisions look the best either a frame after contact or a frame before.
* Some astronauts have reported seeing spurious flashes of nonexistent light while in orbit. One explanation put forth is that this is a visual expression of damage occurring to the retina due to cosmic radiation. Their eyes get hit with radiation, but all they see is a flash.

I think you answered your own question.
He might be asking for the code.
Blake travelled to Austria and had HEAD make him his racquets. But in the end even the great Kennelbach racquet techs could not get it right for Blake. He has the same problem as Delpo. They cant use a newly manufactured racquets that are the same as the old ones. With the old ones the resin has broken down and feel different to them from the new manufactured racquets. They are the only one's that I have ever heard of having this problem. Dont forget that HEAD was manufacturing Boris Becker's frames for him the last 6 years of his career. They got it right for Boris but could not for Blake.:???::confused::shock:

Lea Michele has got day-time luxe down to a tee from those ripped jeans and fedora to her oversized bag and statement heels. There's not much more we can say about this other than WE LOVE IT, and have some serious wardrobe envy.
Selena Gomez has been our ultimate style icon in the last week, and it was hard to pick our favourite look from her birthday week, but we had to settle on this gorgeous statement embellished maxi. The deep V neck and thigh high split show off just the perfect amount of flesh!

Raul Di Blasio: If it worked for pop princess Tiffany in the Eighties, why can't it work for a Latin easy-listening pianist in the Nineties? Shopping audiences get a taste of sophistication as Raul Di Blasio performs selections from his latest disc, Solo, tonight at 6:00 p.m. at Westland Mall (Palmetto Expressway at NW 103rd Street in Hialeah). The Argentine Di Blasio, credited with single-handedly (or using both hands, as the case may be) popularizing Latin-flavored piano instrumentals, recently set up house in Miami, where he recorded the album (which we think is better shopping music than Muzak). Admission is free. Call 445-4923.

Come Out Laughing: The Miami Light Project presents its fifth annual Come Out Laughing gay and lesbian stand-up comedy series, beginning with two hot San Francisco-based comics tonight and tomorrow night at the Colony Theater (1040 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach). The remarkably deadpan comic Karen Ripley returns to South Florida for the first time since her 1993 Come Out Laughing debut ; making his own local debut, Mike Uryga takes audiences on a fast-paced romp through his native blue-collar Ohio. The series continues with Maine-native Julie Dano and Boston boy Bob Gautreau on July 18 and 19, and L.A.'s Georgia Ragsdale and Chicago's John McGivern on August 15 and 16. Tickets cost $15. All shows take place at 9:00 p.m. Call 531-3747 .
Further Festival: Woodstock, Altamont, the never-ending Grateful Dead caravan. Those were the days. Relive your youth (or try to duplicate your parents' youth) at the Further Festival today at 4:00 p.m. at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre (601 Sansbury Way, West Palm Beach). Neo-hippies the Black Crowes headline, and folkmeister Arlo Guthrie hosts; Ratdog (the Dead's Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman), Jefferson Airplane's Mickey Hart and his Planet Drum, Bruce Hornsby (huh?), Moe, Jorma Kaukonen and Michael Falzarano, and Sherri Jackson round out the bill. Tickets cost $27.50. Call 561-793-0445.
Ansel Adams: It's very likely that you or someone you know has an Ansel Adams print or calendar. The American photographer's techniques for creating his sharp, breathtaking black-and-white landscapes revolutionized twentieth-century art photography, and the popularity of his work is inarguable (hence the prints and calendars). The Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami (1301 Stanford Dr., Coral Gables) is currently running the exhibition "Ansel Adams: The Man Who Captured Earth's Beauty," a collection of 24 photos taken between 1930 and 1960 that explore the grandeur of the American West. The exhibition is up through July 27. Admission is five dollars. Museum hours are noon to 7:00 p.m. Thursday; 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; and noon to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. Call 284-3536.
Festival Rep '97: The play's the thing this month at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale) as the Florida Atlantic University theater department presents a summer repertory theater festival, beginning with the Shakespearean comedy of mistaken identity, Twelfth Night, tonight and tomorrow night at 8:00 and 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. The fest continues next week with Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer's Yentl. The plays will be presented in rotating repertory, with a total of 25 performances scheduled for Wednesday through Sunday (except this Sunday and Wednesday) through July 20. Tickets cost $17. Performances take place at 2:00 or 8:00 p.m.; call 954-462-0222 for times and tickets.

(Safeguarding American Values for Everyone) hosts the fourth annual Lambda Conference today from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Miami Beach Convention Center (1901 Convention Center Way, Miami Beach). Four-time Olympic gold-medal diving champion Greg Louganis will be the keynote speaker at the conference, which will also feature Miami Herald columnist Liz Balmaseda and Dade County Judge Victoria Sigler, one of only two openly gay judges in South Florida.

Tomata's Lush Life: New Orleans-based artist Tomata du Plenty returns to his former home base of Miami Beach to unveil a series of jazz portraits tonight at 8:00 p.m. at Ted's Hideaway (124 Second St., Miami Beach). An homage to the musical icons that put him "in the groove," du Plenty portrays Charlie Parker, Etta James, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and a bevy of jazz cats and queens in colorful, quirky canvases as only he can. Admission is free. Call 532-9869.

I'm playing so much that I don't have the time or willpower for it all. Mass Effect 3, LA Noir, Resident Evil 4, Torchlight, and I just bought the Humble Indie Bundle (Of which I owned 0 games from ) so yeah I'm busy.
I haven't really been playing a whole lot lately but I'm currently in the throws of Skyrim and Rayman Origins (eff you Land of the Livid Dead btw).
Though lately I've been thinking a lot about tossing these games aside for another stint of Just Cause 2.
Replaying Red Dead Redemption. Still really enjoying it.
Installing Psychonauts as we speak. Never ever got around to playing it but I just got a wired 360 controller and the Humble Bundle so yeah... looking forward to that.
"Whenever I Feel like Playing" Game- Crusader Kings 2
"Serious Playthrough" Game- Avadon: The Black Fortress
Trying to do another run on Skyrim, but it's so hard because I've done practically everything on my other character, so nothing is new. Hopefully Dawnguard will be a good piece of DLC.
RIght now: Max Payne 3 PC
Consistently Playing this past week: Super Monday Night Combat, Diablo 3, Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3; finished the story which is pretty good. The multiplayer is alright I guess, the spawns seem to be pretty crappy.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier; Great! Better than I expected considering how poorly it was received last E3.
Catherine; which hasn't been all that fun so far. There have been some interesting story bits but it has been pretty underwhelming. I'm also very slowly making my way through Condemned, but thanks to the camera movements and the darkness I keep getting a headache if I play for anything more than 20 minutes, which is a pain as I quite like the game.
Borderlands, Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey (always been curious, never played), and a slew of other old school crap. Just got done with Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, and L.A. Noire, so I'm going back in time for a little while.
Mostly Diablo III, after that I'll play some Dead Space. I've got an entire backlog to go through, so probably something from there.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD edition and Rock Band Blitz.
Zeus & Poseidon from the GOG sale with a high resolution patch applied. It holds up surprisingly well and god on god violence is always a plus.
Making my way through the assassins creed series, played the first one,now I'm about 7 hours into 2...
Went back into Battlefield 3 multiplayer after finishing Skyrim.
Dynasty Warriors 7 and Devil May Cry HD on the console, The 3rd Birthday and Resistance: Retribution on the portable.
been taking a break from gaming this last 6 weeks or so as it been really nice weather and i feel guilty about sitting inside when its nice outside.
but as soon as the cold UK weather returns i shall pick up Dark souls, Darksiders 2, Sleeping Dogs all for the PC and maybe GW2, unsure if i want to play a MMO again.
At the moment Red Faction: Armageddon and Silent Hill: Downpour. Armageddon is, well it's okay. It's not bad by any means just not what I really wanted as a follow-up to Guerrilla in terms of it's structure and linear nature and the story thus far hasn't been all that interesting. Downpour has been pretty good so far, actually creeped out by somethings and while the side quests may not make much sense in a big picture kinda way (the entire town is borked, I need to find out what's going on, everywhere is dangerous but man let's go free some birds.) they are entertaining diversions, especially the gramophone one, that is probably one of the most unsettling things I've seen. I've also been into Borderlands, Dynasty Warriors 7 and Dead Space 2 but those are played with friends whenever they are get on.
Before you ask, not playing the Dead Space 2 multiplayer, doing a Hardcore run with a friend concurrently and it's pretty entertaining. Just a mixture of us being jokey about the game and tons of yelling and saying we don't want to turn that corner because all we have left is half a clip in our plasma cutter.
Just finished up Dawnguard and I might just spend this labor day playing black ops.
MindJack- Has a stupid ass story and average gameplay but I'm planning to beat it.
Viking: Battle For Asgard- Maybe a few years ago I would have enjoyed this game more. Its alright but nothing special.
GunGrave:Overdose- I rebought this game off of PSN. I played it when I had it on ps2 and I still love this game. You shit the fuck out of anything you see in style. Brandon heat is badass.
Red Faction- I rebought this game on PSN because I never finish it on ps2. I'm near the end but the game got hard as shit. Still its my favorite Red Faction game in the series.
Syphon Filter Omega Strain: Another Game I rebought on PSN that I had on ps2. This game is a pain in the nuts at times. Still I enjoy playing this game alot. I'm planning on getting the good ending this time. When I had this game on ps2 I got the bad ending. Obviously I fucked up the finally mission.
Shinobi- Yet another game I rebought on PSN. I beat this game on the ps2 along time ago, and I had most of the unlockables. I loved this game slashing the shit out of demons, with a sword that gets more powerful from eating souls was so much fun. Stealth dashing was just badass and aswome. Here's my two favorite stage theme songs.
I would name more games I'm currently playing, but I named enough.
Hmmm lets see
-Team Fortress 2(even if you cant complete it it will fall out of my "games i wanna play" list every so often.)
-Crysis 2
-Rage(havent played it in a few weeks, need to finish it though)
Thats about it...
Ummm...I seem to have developed some sort of compulsive buying disorder in the last month, and I can't stop downloading cheap PC games. Right now, playing World of Tanks, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, ArmA 2, Section 8: Prejudice, Just Cause 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, and Counter Strike: GO. Man, that's a lot of shooters. I need help.
They Bleed Pixels, LA Noir, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Dragon Age: Origins, Dead Space 2, Alan Wake, Metro 2033, Penny Arcade 3, Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, InFamous 2, Brutal Legend, Okami, and Puzzle Agent 2.
I might have a problem. (Note: This isn't even my entire backlog, just stuff I've started and not yet finished.)
Xenogears- whoever thought it would be a good idea to include platforming sections in this game is a terrible person.
Batman: Arkham City, The Binding of Isaac, Grand Theft Auto IV, Battlefield 3, and, most recently/importantly, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
The War of Eustrath on iPhone. It's Fire Emblem-y and I love me some Fire Emblem.
The 1st Darksiders, Syndicate, and Persona 4 Arena story mode.
Nothing currently, finished getting all the achievements for RAGE and haven't played a game for the past week or so.....but the next game I start will probably be Red Faction: Armageddon.
Knights of the old Republic, Half-Life 2, Shadows of the Damned and Battlefield 3.
The first three are just replays, Battlefield 3 has pretty much been my constant play since it launched.
skyrim and resistance 2. not really feeling resistance 2 because, unlike Resistance: Fall of Man, it doesnt have a weapon wheel.
going to get all the trophies for skyrim, finish Resistance 2 story, and then jump into FF XIII
Darksiders 2. I really wish that it was set on earth. That was one of the best parts of the first Darksiders.

Based on a popular Chinese dish, these fun wraps also make appealing appetizers for entertaining.
Make it a meal: Serve with chili-garlic sauce and rice vinegar for extra zip; toss diced mango and strawberries with lime juice for a quick dessert.
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the filling (through Step 2), cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Serve cold or reheat in the microwave.
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup instant brown rice
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
- One 8-ounce can water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder (see Note)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 heads Boston lettuce, leaves separated
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, mint and/or chives
- 1 large carrot, shredded
- Note: Hoisin sauce is a spicy, sweet sauce made from soybeans, chilies, garlic and spices. It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a year.
Often a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder was originally considered a cure-all miracle blend encompassing the five elements (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty). Look for it in the supermarket spice section.
Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the rice; reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.

Despite weather challenges, sweet potato growers optimistic
Published: October 2,2013
Tags: agriculture, Benny Graves, commodity, farm, farmer, farming, harvest, Ken Hood, Mississippi State University Extension Service, Mississippi Sweet Potato Council, rain, Stephen Myers, sweet potato, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Weather, yam
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — In spite of recent rains, the state's sweet potato growers have a lot to be excited about this harvest season.
"Growers set the majority of the crop back in late May and June under ideal conditions," said Stephen Meyers, sweet potato specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service. "We had good root set, which means the number of roots per plant has been good."
Although it takes longer to grow sweet potatoes to full size when there are a lot of roots, the time invested is worth it. Most of this year's crop so far is U.S. Department of Agriculture No. 1 grade, which sells the best on the fresh market, Meyers said.
Yields per acre are averaging about 300 bushels per acre. The crop was 32 percent harvested by Sept. 22, according to the USDA's Sept. 23 Crop Progress and Condition Report.
MSU Extension agricultural economist Ken Hood said a 40-pound box of No. 1 grade sweet potatoes is bringing $17-18, which is up $2 per box over last year's price. Larger potatoes are also selling well.
"Jumbo-size potatoes are going for premium prices right now because they're scarce," Hood said. "That might change as the season goes on, because they longer they are in the ground the bigger they get. But a lot of people prefer the jumbos for home use because of their versatility."
Meyers said weeds are an issue every year because few herbicides can be used for control in this crop. Most growers pull weeds by hand twice a year.
"Insect pressure has been pretty light until recently, when we've seen an increase in army worms and cucumber beetles," he said. "End tip rot is a disease that shows up in storage, so we're keeping an eye out for it."
Wild animals have discovered an appetite for sweet potatoes, too.
"Deer are problematic for a number of our growers," he said. "They eat the foliage, but they know when the potatoes are ready, and the deer will start digging up the sweet potatoes. Wild hogs are becoming more of a problem as well."
Several Mississippi growers tried a new variety this year and so far are pleased with the results.
"We're seeing a lot more acres planted in a variety from Louisiana State University called Orleans," Meyers said. "In many ways it is like the Beauregard variety commonly grown here, but it is supposed to have a more uniform shape."
Benny Graves, executive director of the Mississippi Sweet Potato Council in Vardaman, said 104 growers planted 18,400 acres in sweet potatoes this year, down about 18 percent from last year.
"It's basic supply and demand," Graves said. "Market prices were down here and in other parts of the country, so some sweet potato growers switched to row crops, predominately soybeans. We've already seen a price increase for sweet potatoes this year because of that acreage reduction."
Like Meyers, Graves is optimistic about the potential for the Orleans variety and the crop in general.
"We're seeing good yields and good quality eating potatoes," Graves said. "The Orleans are consistent in size, shape and texture. They're also consistent from field to field, and we like that in a new variety."
Graves said the industry is finding new ways to generate extra income, particularly through different types of packaging. Traditionally, shoppers select loose sweet potatoes from a large bin.
"We want consumers to have more options," he said. "Bagged sweet potatoes are a hot item, such as 3-, 5-, and 10-pound bags. Another trend is shrink-wrapped individual potatoes. To meet buyers' increased focus on food safety, packing houses are being upgraded and certified. It's an exciting time in the industry."
Even with the decline in acreage this year, Mississippi ranks No. 2 nationally in sweet potato production, second only to North Carolina.
The annual Vardaman Sweet Potato Festival will start at 8 a.m. Nov. 2.

The Fallback Mode-Setting Driver Is Improved
Published on 24 February 2012 07:10 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
One week after the release of
the new X.Org mode-setting driver
there's another release with more changes.
Last week David Airlie announced the release of xf86-video-modesetting as a generic, un-accelerated DDX driver that in theory should work with any hardware that's being handled by a Linux KMS (kernel mode-setting) driver. The xf86-video-modesetting driver just relies upon the generic KMS interface with the kernel to allow X.Org to work atop it.
The xf86-video-modesetting driver just provides a shadow frame-buffer (ShadowFB), but over xf86-video-fbdev/xf86-video-vesa or alternatives, thanks to its KMS poking there is RandR support for this X.Org driver. Likewise, this driver supports driving multiple monitors. David developed this driver when working on
GPU hot-plugging support
and other work going back to
last year
The xf86-video-modesetting driver could be looked at as similar to the Gallium3D Xorg state tracker in Mesa that's designed to work with any KMS-enabled hardware, but that does provide accelerated support. David Airlie
said in our forums
that he isn't too interested in adding acceleration support to xf86-video-modesetting and that for his purposes this driver is effectively feature complete.
As far as the xf86-video-modesetting 0.2.0 release, it has a few fixes plus some build system clean-ups. The release announcement can be read on
