    This is how I know that I play too many games.

    Sometimes when I'm running in my dreams I'll start rolling instead, either because my legs get tired or I'm not running fast enough.

    It's one of those things were at the time of the dream, you feel like a genius; then you wake up and realize what a horrible idea it was.

    I also don't crouch behind crates and concrete blocks and move side to side like I'm stuck to them.

    Hurts like a mofo.

    One time when I was like 6, I came up to my dad and was like, 'Hey dad, check this out', and fell flat on my back (akin to Neville Longbottom in HP1, if you need a visual). It hurt like fuck, I'm pretty sure I saw stars, but I said, "That was cool, right?" then ran off to my room to cry from the pain. I guess that's kinda related.

    With that shoulder injury, now you'll have plenty of time to brush up on your grammar.

    I can kinda do it, but a former co-worker of mine demonstrated off a 10 feet parking platform onto grass. It was pretty impressive, female witnesses were definitively wet.

    We learned gymnastics in grade 4 phys ed. Proper rolling technique would have prevented the injury.

    Something about the Gears roll always weirded me out. It's like he gets way too horizontal and the tucks and rolls insanely fast right at the last second. The animation looks kind of borked, but I guess that's a playability thing.

    @phrali:

    It works fine. I had to do it for sports (I think my coaches just made us do it because they were jerks and wanted to watch us roll like idiots). But even I, an offensive linemen with the body of...well, an offensive linemen, was able to roll.

    If you think that's hard, roll BACKWARDS in Gears of War.  They do the most insane thing a human body can do.
     Also the animation on their rolls are crazy sped-up if you actually think about it.

    It's a variation of a shoulder roll, and it's easy as fuck with the right technique.

    When it comes to rolls, I myself prefer the Steamroller a la Strange Brew.

    if you do it right it doesn't hurt, but you need to maintain forward momentum otherwise gravity will insure that you get hurt.

    I parkour, so yes, I can roll. And if you did it right it wouldn't have hurt at all.

    Nope, because I would probably break every damn bone in my body.

    I did a reverse one once when I was almost hit by a truck. I dodge-rolled directly backwards, rolled up into a slight ball, and then hopped onto my feet. I shit you not, I felt so awesome afterwards.
