Does anyone play chess? I do like it but I'm not very good at it. What kind of chess board do you have? I have been looking for a nice one but mine is quite specific as I want one that is proper figurines, from King Arthur or Medievil times but I sort of want it to have a Merlon/Wizard kind of theme/look. However, I do not want a Harry Potter set! Ones a bit like these: or Just interested :D

So, I got my 9 and a half year old interested in Dungeons and Dragons last year. We started with the BECMI (Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, Immortal) series from 1983 because I had the old books and modules in storage. I even found my dragon dice. Recently, we started playing around with the fourth edition which is a totally different game (far more tactical with long drawn out grinding battles). He was introduced at a parenting workshop that I attended that had entertainment/babysitting for the kids. One of the kid's groups was D&D 4e. I have since gone to another similar workshop only to skip out of the parent stuff to volunteer with the D&D group. I purpose…

I just realized my significant goal of hitting a lower weight may be a bit..lower than I anticipated. Instead of 163.. I need to shoot for 138. That's 59 more pounds. . I figured, what the heck... Neowin might have some people who might want to do some exercise and actually turn it into a community effort to lose weight... So, why don't we share our weight loss tips and tricks and make it an over-all community wide thing..?

[Hobby] Paintball

I went out this morning with a couple of guys to play my first paintball game, and it was honestly incredible! I felt like such a newb, running with a Bravo One Tactical, while everyone else has modded A5's and X7's, with army pants fatigues and everything. It's definitely something i'll keep playing all summer, maybe a round or two during the winter! We just played in a private lot and did 4 vs 3.. one team went and hides while the other goes and seeks them down.

Any Comic book fans out there?
by Norwood- 14 replies
- 4.3k views
If so, what are your favorite titles right now. I'm reading Siege...but if they fool me again I will refuse to buy into anymore of their "events". My favorite titles are Chew, Haunt, Murderer, Walking Dead and a few Marvel titles...Daredevil and Punisher mostly. Also, anything Kirkman is doing right now is just awesome. Demonic was incredible and I can't wait to read Stealth. But Haunt is an absolute ass-kicker. That book is awesome.

Anyone have a personal library?
by mr_han_solo- 14 replies
- 3.8k views
Hello, I am in the process of building my own personal library. I currently have 4 bookshelves, and im in the process of organizing my collection. I was wondering what programs everyone here used? I have tried Book collector Pro and BookCAT so far. I like the BookCAT interface better, plus the fact I can scan amazon, library of congress as well as several other libraries for information. However it seems harder to add a book, and doesnt automatically download the Dewey Decimal number, (which I need for organization). Hopefully someone can recommend a program or just show picture of stories of their own personal library.

[Hobby] GUNS ! well, shooting them
by TEX4S- 21 replies
- 7.3k views
On some weekends I do some precision shooting with my father. I do not like to hunt, yet have grown up around guns my entire life so its a nice way for my father and I to do something together. Precision shooting is using a custom built, very expensive bench rifle, or sniper rifle. These guns are finely crafted to ridiculous tolerances and use fancy materials. For instance, the amount of pressure on the trigger action of a normal rifle off the shelf is about 3 - 5 lbs of pressure. My precision rifle's action is 1.5 ounces !! That means if you arent ready, dont even *think* about touching the trigger -- thinking about it will make it fire. Or making custom ammo by h…

Why does this simple circuit work?
by Evolution- 13 replies
- 5.3k views
I'm having trouble figuring out how this circuit works, to me it looks like it completely backwards.... I like to follow the flow of electrons instead of using conventional flow. So if the electrons come from the ground, shouldn't it be short-circuiting to pin #2? It makes sense if I pretended that the eletrons flow from 5v... but they don't.... so why does it work... pin #2 is configured for input, so it's receiving a signal.

Looking for decent starting multimeter
by Evolution- 3 replies
- 2.9k views
Although I've read quite a bit about electronics, I have yet to actually create anything substantial. So I'm guessing one of the first things I need is a multimeter to check the currents and voltage. Unfortunately a lot of websites don't actually reveal the ranges for the multimeters. The best meter I've found so far is: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/2/Electrical/ElectricalTesters/PRD~0520060P/Mastercraft%252BDigital%252BMultimeter.jsp?locale=en How do I know how accurate that meter would be within the 200 mV range? I know the basic ranges I need, but do they only state how accurate they are on the physical boxes and not on the website? Would even aR…

Rollerblades / Inline Roller Skating
by SaLiVa- 4 replies

eBay Rollerblades I need help choosing from that list... I am not sure about the brand, but the Rollerblade Formula 80 has caught my eye. The ABEC 7 bearings are all hype, but it looks like a comfortable rollerblade. I am a beginner to intermediate skater, and I want to skate around the park for the summer so I thought one of these might do. Only trouble is that I do not know how much I should be spending, and which brand of roller blades I should be looking at. Any help would be much appreciated!

Turbocharged/supercharged Hookah!
by agreenbhm- 7 replies
- 4.8k views
Ok, so let me first start by saying I love smoking my hookah! I ONLY smoke tobacco (I don't want this to turn into a debate about drugs). Anyway, here's a half-baked idea I've had (not stoned, lol). For those that don't know, hookahs work similar to bongs. Tobacco in the bowl gets sucked through water which cools and filters it, and then goes to the smoker. The difference is that with a hookah, the bowl is on the top of the pipe, which has coals sitting on top of it. When the smoker sucks on the pipe, the heat pulls down, over the tobacco, down a tube, into the water, and then up and out the pipe. My idea is to insert a fan into the glass portion of the pipe. A …
