F.A.G.S. (and Cole Hamel!) says random grenades are for pussies.

Submitted by Amanda Phillips on Nov 04, 2009, 03:18 PM

The video is set up as a PSA interrupting in-game play, in which Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels steps out of a Hummer to talk to something close to his heart: random grenades. Getting tagged by a sticky grenade from out of nowhere is undoubtedly frustrating for FPS gamers, and Hamel urges players to avoid using this type of attack because, he assures them, random grenades are "for pussies." Later, we find that he is speaking on behalf of the Fight Against Grenade Spam.

Tagging conventions

Submitted by travis on Oct 13, 2008, 02:29 PM

I've noticed that a number of people have mentioned that they use delicious for social bookmarking, and I was wondering if other HASTAC Scholars would find it useful to establish some simple way to flag things that you think might be of interest to other scholars in the group, even if you don't have time for a full blog post at the moment. If we had a shared tag, for example, we could use Yahoo! Pipes (or some similar tool) to aggregate all the content with that tag from delicious, Flickr, YouTube, etc.
