SJSU finally beat Boise State at something.

The most current iteration of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders classifies narcissistic personality disorder as: “A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts.” A diagnosis would also require five or more of the following traits: 1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., “Nobody builds walls better than me”; “There’s nobody that respects women more than I do”; “There’s nobody who’s done so much for equality as I have”). 2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love (“I alone can fix it”; “It’s very hard for them to attack me on looks, because I’m so good-looking”). 3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions (“Part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich”). 4. Requires excessive admiration (“They said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl”). 5. Has a sense of entitlement (“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy”). 6. Is interpersonally exploitative (see above). 7. Lacks empathy, is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others (“He’s not a war hero . . . he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured”). 8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her (“I’m the president, and you’re not”). 9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes (“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters”).

Bragging about a club team that plays video games. We've officially hit rock bottom!

Kudos for the Coastie reference.

An animation showing examples of capturing pieces in atomic chess. The game is played using the standard rules of chess, but with the variation that all captures result in an "explosion" in which all surrounding white and black pieces, other than pawns, are removed from play. Some variations additionally remove rules concerning check such that the king may be able to move into or remain in check. The game was introduced in 1995 by the German Internet Chess Server, based on rules one of its users collected from friends who played offline. Since then it has been implemented at Chess Live, the Internet Chess Club, Free Internet Chess Server, and Lichess.

Amen to that.

That's an awesome and rare feat. Kudos to Jake and the East Carolina Pirates.

I'm rooting for SDSU, that's South Dakota State University. If they get past Texas in the first round they might go far. The Jackrabbits Daum, Jenkins and Flatten are very good.

Advantages like having the much bigger arena and get to play at home even though Grand Canyon has a better record. WVU only needs 4,000 in attendance on Wednesday to break even and they're offering $10 tickets and free parking (c/o the EerSports message board). They'll probably double that amount of fans for this game in Morgantown.
