| Videos: ‘World Of Warcraft’ Hackers Kill Thousands Of Players
When it comes to massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft, unpredictability comes with the territory. When you have that many people playing, you never know what someone’s going to do next. Some hackers recently proved this with a bit of chaos. They unleashed some sort of mass death hack that saw thousands of players’ characters in multiple realms drop dead inexplicably. Blizzard fixed the issue within a few hours, but by then, many had fallen, and plenty of new YouTube videos had been uploaded to show the carnage. Check out some of the videos below, as well as statements from both Blizzard and one of the hackers claiming responsibility for this…event.

| Trailer: In ‘Brooklyn Castle’ The Chess Team Is Where You’ll Find The Sports Stars
A new trailer for the upcoming documentary Brooklyn Castle has been released. The movie follows the chess team at a school in Brooklyn, though unlike most chess teams—consisting of kids typecast as “nerds” or “outcasts”—this particular team is the school’s star “jocks,” having won more national championships than any other school. But the movie is not just about chess; it’s also about the struggles of these below-the-poverty-line kids, as well as the damage being caused by budgetary cuts to their extracurricular activities. You can check out the trailer for Brooklyn Castle, which hits select theaters on October 19th, by heading below now.

| Geek Fit: Eat Food |

One of my goals for this little column is to help you wade through the massive piles of junk out there claiming to be the “best” or “only” way to get fit. I can get behind some science as much as the next guy, but at some point, even I get bored. Somehow when it comes to fitness-related science, specifically diets; it seems that you can find science to support almost any diet. Take the Cotton Ball diet, for example, this diet is simple”¦why take up precious room in your belly with pesky food when you can just stuff a little cotton in there instead. Not enough flavor for you? Dip your cotton ball in some hot sauce, it’s delicious! Obviously that diet is insane. There are no questions about it. However, if you Google long enough you will find the science that says it is not all that terrible. The Cotton Ball Diet is the extreme end of the spectrum. The gray area comes when the more realistic diets begin to enter the picture. Trying a diet can be costly, confusing, and worst of all, totally ineffective. The problem is that most science agrees that the right diet can contribute to your health way more than exercise can. When I started to get healthy I knew the first thing I needed to do was change my eating habits. I’m not a scientist, so I won’t pretend to babble on about what is healthy and what isn’t. I will tell you what I have tried, and what has worked for me. Everyone is different and not everything I have tried will work for you. Still, the way I found the right diet was by trying stuff that worked for other people. I now have a pretty easy diet to follow that doesn’t require a lot of sacrificing what I like.
