Pick plays were out of control this game. They really need to either make the rules stricter or enforce it better. The rules are already skewed towards offense and getting blindsided by Welker when you're covering Thomas just isn't fair. They never ever call penalties on it.

edit - this is not a block

HE STOLE ALL OUR THEORIES AND THEN SHOWED US HOW STUPID AND WRONG THEY WERE! WHYYYY???!

I thought we'd FINALLY find out...

Edit: better version of gif/scene

Item frames are super buggy. When you have one placed with an item in it, exit the game, and then log back into the world. They duplicate. Not just one copy though - HUNDREDS of copies, as well as the item inside being duplicated.

Here's visual representation of what I'm talking about.

Edit: Here's the bug tracker link.

Full resolution version hosted on gfycat, with a smaller file size. Otherwise you miss a lot of the smaller detail, especially on the dancer.

Minor bug: If you mouse from one dropdown menu to the other before the menu's display animation is complete, both menus disappear.

Here's a video

I'm more of a vanilla Javascript guy, than a JQuery guy, but I'd wager that you're not clearing your interval when firing off a mouseover event, and instead just assuming that it's not currently in use.

Hope this helps! Site looks pretty slick.

Edit: Though you're definitely going to need a more robust server if your website picks up in popularity. That loading time is painful right now.

Obvious red. How people can argue that it wasn't is beyond me.

To OP, link to the html 5 video instead. It's a much smaller file, meaning a faster loading time. Remove the 'giant' at the start of the link and the '.gif' at the end. http://gfycat.com/ImpossibleWhichCopperhead

Funny story: I actually worked for Riot on contract during the Spring Split of the Season 3 LCS, doing match recaps, interviews, and writing player profiles. They made the choice to go to a freelancer-based system by the end of my contract, so it didn't continue.

The main thing is that if I were to do this for LoLeSports they would either need to host 30+mb GIFs (which is unwieldy) or integrate Gfycat (which I use to host my animations) into their site; enterprise-level sites like LoLeSports rarely rely on outside services they don't control (because Gfycat shows ads, etc), and I don't know if Gfycat could scale to the demand of LoLeSports' traffic, considering they're fairly new.

Especially considering that the Saints defenders were celebrating that first hit after it gave the Seahawks a free first down on *third and long

Edit: Here's a gif that shows some of it at the very end

[](/scootaderp) Have some Gfycat mirrors ^(since reddit shadowbanned gfy_bot)! Considering these two are 134 seconds combined, gaining the ability to pause and slide around the timeline would not be a bad idea. (Round 1, Round 2)

Join us next time as we continue to ask the question "How long is too long?"

Here it is ! The album tutorial is ready.

Please upvote this comment so people who are interested in it can see it ;)

Edit : Since the wiring is not very beautiful, you can hide it easily as I did on this .gif. Put some glowstone and carpets on top for the lighting, some stairs on the pistons. Do not cover the dispenser so you can fill it back when it runs out of bonemeal :)

Edit 2 : We are now in a kind of a funny "contest" with clankypants to see how far we can improve the efficiency of these farms :)

I made an HTML 5 gif here so that people that aren't using Alien Blue can see what this gif looks like sped up. I think that you have to click the link to see it sped up if you are using RES.

Quinton Patton.

He's a rookie and missed a bunch of time with a foot injury, but I'm expecting him to make an impact with teams focusing on Anquan and Crabtree. Kap clearly trusts him (see: this throw to set up the game-winning field goal against Arizona) and we can use him in different ways.

Added with the ending I took from this anonymous suggestion, and I hardly wrote this one at all!

[](/sp) [](/twismile) Also, I've decided not to submit my gifs using gfycat, but I will provide a gfycat mirror. So if it works better for you than 1.8 meg gifs, or you just want a time slider to play with, you can always come to the comments and I will have a gfycat mirror for you.

A user just implemented a gfycat bot, though, so I'm waiting a bit to see if he'll show up...

As in why add it? Just to add emphasis to a certain point, make it less plain etc. I do it to most of my gifs:

Example 2

Made one with a proper framerate, no normal gif version because loading a 26 mb gif is a pain.

That header outside the box of his was a ballsy-ass move. It looked cool as shit too. If he and Neuer are the future of how goalkeepers play, football is about to become a lot more entertaining.

e: For those who didn't see it live:

Realtime Slow-motion

The thing about HTML5 gifs are that they are not actually gifs, they are more so a video.

Without getting too much into it the reason they run/load so smooth is because they are not individual images being loaded separately by a plug in, they are run form the browser itself using a codec to play segments of a video.

it has a 20:1 compression ratio when uploaded to gfycat, can't really argue against that.

Only problem is that you can't resize on the fly in RES. But that's a small price to pay for the amount of bandwidth saved...

What is with the really weird link names?

Most randomly generated urls look like this:G1XeD4SwlHReDA

We thought it would be fun to do it differently. Our URLs consist of this structure: AdjectiveAdjectiveAnimal This is enough to give us a namespace of billions, while also letting humans write them easier.

Most links are not case sensitive, but if you hotlink to a file on the content delivery network, then it IS case sensitive so make sure you copy and paste the URL from our Links popout exactly.

pretty easy.

make a 3 (or higher) high "door" made up of blocks (dirt blocks/stone blocks/etc), put actuators on the "door", put pressure plates to the left and the right side of the door, wire the actuators and pressure plates together.
