Hack & Slash: Epic Games That Will Unleash Your Inner Anti-Hero
Everybody loves an anti-hero. Afer all, who wants the invincible Superman with the heart of gold when they can have the flawed, self-made “dark knight” that is Batman? We yearn to relate to our heroes, following them every step of the way as they exorcise their demons and save the day. If you're in the mood to dive into the shoes of a tried and true anti-hero, here are couple of epic video games that invite you to do just that.

On a related note, speaking of kids and kids who actually want to learn, why are #Politics not more thoroughly and frequently taught in public schools? At my high school, #Politics were just mixed in with #History class. We had civics, but it was elective. I hate to say it, but I kinda blame my school system a little bit for my inability to understand or take interest in #Politics. #Single #saysthespider #Chat:1-23-15_7:26pm

The Word "Freak" Gets Tossed Around a Lot ...
.
Usually when something freaky is happening in sports, you find out later that there was a scientific explanation.
For example, Secretariat's 1973 year was unpossible - here are the Belmont Stakes that he won by 25+ lengths. Fans like to think, well, that horse just had a lot of desire. But there are lots of horses whose desire is max'ed out.
As it turned out, Secretariat had a (physical) heart nearly three times the size of the average horse's. Similarly, Michael Phelps has physical attributes that give him the advantage in the water. Ted Williams had eyesight that was quite unusual. Michael Jordan had weirdly big hands. You run into this a lot.
.......
For some time, I've been wondering why Marshawn Lynch can run the way he does. Attitude IS a big part of it, no doubts there :- ) but Pete Prisco explains it in more practical terms. A great read with great quotes and great sense of proportion.

I don't even remember having many fears as a kid. I feel like I was completely fearless, although I'm sure I was scared of things. Is that just revisionist #History? Does everyone remember themselves as invincible when they were little? #Single #saysthespider #newyork-single.com #Chat:1-22-15_7:16pm
