then many concentration/strategy games would be frustrating.

nah... i dont think it's frustrating. it's a game. it's part of the game. you just have to know that you can't play a bad shot and be ready to accept that you might need to make a biiiig turnaround if you miss it :p

Golf, never got into it. I can see how frustrating it is, but I don't say it cause I don't play in the pros. When its a hobby, it's just a game.

I know one of my nephews likes the game, he's got more concentration on golf than I do on web design, it's amazing.

Cheers

Frustrating? Not frustrating at all. If you do get frustrated, you are going to screw up. Clear your mind and concentrate on the ball and the hole. That's the key.

the only thing that amazes me more than pro golfers are pro skateboarders...

I totally agree.

@emo: BMXer's aren't that impressive to me... I mean, I can jump on a bike and hit a ramp, do flips, and sure, I'll crash it and hurt myself, but I did it. As for skateboarding, I can't jump on a skateboard and do a ollie without falling on my ass almost immediately. Skateboarding is much more tricky than BMXing.

it's relaxing and fun when ur playing just for fun. Personally i find it frustrating cause i suck at golf, its not an easy sport and its not a constant game like hockey or baseball, in golf the situations are different for every stroke be-it the weather, the grass, the fairway, the design, the clubs, ur lie etc...

It is quote frustrating because it is hard to get one in when you lose confidence. Another sport that gets me frustrated is basketball. If you miss a few shots, you tend to miss the rest even if you're under the basket. I hate those times :angry:

Golf definitely has to be one of the most frustrating, if not the most frustrating sport. People who disagree with that are either lying, have never played it, aren't competitive and don't care about losing or failing, of they're professionals. It takes so much coordination to hit a golf ball perfectly.

I love golf. What is your record for the most holes in one day? I once got in 45 holes with my dad(with cart) Walking, I only have gotten 36.

I guess people that get frustrated are the ones that still, after all the practice, do not know why the ball goes a certain way.

If you think the game is frustrating, then you are taking it too seriously.

And that book actually teachs the golfer a thing or two. I own it.

It is a game if your ride, a sport if you walk. ;)

What is more important is what you shot. ;)

Anyway, I absolutely frickin' love golf. Anyone who hates it has probably never had the thrll of a birdie or catching a drive and lacing it 290 yards. Oh, man a sand shot into the hole or a bump and run for an Eagle on a short par 5... heaven. Add in a cooler of beer, some cigars, and your good friends you never get to see since you got married and you have one helluva good time. Thank God I live in Georgia where there are really only about 2 months of the year in which you can't golf (right now as a matter of fact).

Golf is frustrating as hell untill you get better at it, then it becomes really fun. If you are shooting in the 80s and still are not enjoying yourself then you really should just quit playing. If youa re shooting high 90s to 100s, then you just need to keep practicing.

Oh, and I have about a 15 handicap (sober).

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today.

The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt.

The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection.

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
