As far as macro mechanics go, that one is pretty straightforward as it goes for Zerg. It reminds me of how before L4D2 came out, some poster on a forum outlined a new special zombie that should come out and pretty much exactly described the Charger, which turns out was already in development.
Could probably find an ambulance chaser that might take it and try to settle for a handful of cash lol

Is there a reliable way to get sick? particularily catching the flu or something like that (not deadly)? What do i need to do? how many days the virus takes to incubate? How many days before the date I want to get sick do I need to do it?
I was thinking of puring myself in cold water and getting out in the night, but I guess i could also get a neumony with that and thats unnecessary.
I guess getting sick of the stomach is easier, but that would be the last resource since that feels like dying.

Binge drinking combined with cold food and lack of sleep should be a good start to weaken your immune system.
Also, you will want to kiss with as many people as possible (e.g. on the train).
Incubation period for cold/influenza is ~ 2 days.

Clear proof you're a time traveller. You went into the future, then wrote about it in the past. Amirite? Mumbles something about good ideas.. You never know though. That's the bottom line.

That's actually a very interesting question

the dogs are trained to play fight.
the play is filmed from different angles and with multiple cameras; there is some fake blood involved and the sound is added later in post processing.
still, there were movies where animals were injured or killed. (what comes to mind is Cockfighter/Born to kill, in which the rooster fights were real and in some other movie, forgot the name, some horses drowned, were crippled/injured somewhat on purpose).
in US, it depends on whether an AHA (American Humane Association) representative/observer/supervisor is allowed on the set or not.

I think they do a lot with cutting as well. First show a close up of an angry dog face. Then have the dog jump up at someone for fun, but play any growling sound and have the actor act scared.
Also, there are acting dogs, right?

Yeah I think dogs and to a certain extent cats can be trained to be good actors without much difficulties. What's more interesting is about other animals like roosters, horses, bears, rats, etc.

I think if the movie isn't shot in the US rooster fights tend to just be real, or they have their spur thing removed already (seperate from being in movies) and they don't arm them with a bigger one like they typically would in a real rooster fight.
But it's mostly angles and acting with an occasional prop used.
|
about 75% of it is sound effects + cutting room floor.
Its easy enough to get 1-3 jumps out of chickens with 10-20 different cameras catching it from 10-20 different angles and then just doing lots of close ups and using different camera angles and different camera speeds to create the sense of continuous action.

What is the name of this type of fallacy:

How prevalent are stimulants like adderall and other amphetamines in the pro-gaming world?
If it came to light that your favourite player/team has been using such stimulants their entire pro-gaming career, how would you react? Is it the same as steroids/doping?

Why do so few females play StarCraft or chess?
Is this specific to mental games? How does it look like in other sports?
Can the question be simplified to:
Why do so few females play competitive sports?

My hypothesis is that females are not socially encouraged to take part in competitive activities, unlike males. It's probably a remnant of our old patriarchal societies & culture.
