How to fix lag in Team Fortress 2 in Windows 7

I recently upgraded my operating system from Windows XP to Windows 7. I did a clean install of Windows 7 and everything was running smoothly. When I started playing Team Fortress 2, however, I noticed that the game lags behind about a second or so even though my ping times were normal ( < 100 ms).

After a while of playing, I got really frustrated and decided to do something about the lag. I checked the netgraph and noticed the connection was choking. After researching possible causes of this, I came to a conclusion. Windows 7 packs a lot of unnecessary services and one of those services, Multimedia Class Scheduler service, was causing source engine-based games to lag. After disabling the Multimedia Class Scheduler service, I was finally able to play and enjoy Team Fortress 2 without the annoying lag.

How to disable Multimedia Class Scheduler service in Windows 7

1. Press the start button
2. Type in services.msc and press enter
3. Scroll down until you find Multimedia Class Scheduler
4. Right Click it and click properties
5. Where it says Startup type, choose Disabled

The Multimedia Class Scheduler service, however, is required for the windows audio service meaning you will not have sound without it, but you can change this by following these steps:

1. Click on the start button
2. Type in regedit and press enter
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Audiosrv
4. Right click on DependOnService and click modify
5. Remove the line MMCSS
6. Restart your computer

Stretching to grow taller

When I woke up this morning, I noticed something different; I was taller. I thought I had stopped growing since I had a growth spurt a little over a year ago and I thought that I was as tall as my genes could let me go.

Stretching releases large amounts of growth hormone which in turn will not only make a person bigger, but it will also cut body fat levels.

Stretching can also be beneficial to joints as well as the muscles by reducing muscle tension and improve circulation.

What we did in Taekwondo was very difficult and somewhat painful. First, we did splits then we slowly sat down on our butts while maintaining the split. After, we grabbed the ankles of our feet and slowly went down to the ground until our noses touched it.

I had to get help from a higher belt because I had too much resistance. I was suprised and amazed at what I did after getting help from the higher belt; I actually touched the ground with my nose. In the end, I found out that the higher belt only gave me his weight so that I could go down easier.

Warriors Orochi 2 is awesome

I recently got Warriors Orochi 2 when I had beaten the first Warriors Orochi. I played the game for 4 hours straight! Yes, it was that good.

The first thing I noticed about the game that was different from Warriors Orochi was that the mount was significantly faster than that of Warriors Orochi. I think the main reason for this is because in Warriors Orochi, once the ability Impulse is maxed out and the character is at level 99, the character can simply outrun the mount therefore it's rendered useless.

The game introduces new modes such as dream and vs mode. I have not gotten around to playing those modes, but from what I've heard, they seem pretty descent.

Also, there's a prequel to Orochi's story that explains how he rounded up the most powerful warriors ever known and it explains how he captured the Shu leader, Liu Bei. I haven't finished the story just yet so I don't know whether it explains other stuff like how Lu Bu got to be his guard or how Cao Cao was captured.
