Taking pictures of Lightning.

1) put your camera on a tripod. 2) compose your shot. i.e., point the camera somewhere to get a nice background and in the general direction of the storm. 3) set your ISO/aperture to something that will produce around 6-8 second shutter speeds. 4) use your camera's intervalometer...

My idea: Trying to capture Milky Way over Yosemite

Was the tunnel view parking lot packed late at night? Thinking about doing this July 4 weekend, but don't want to bother if the park is going to be packed 10pm to 2am.

Uncharted 4 Gameplay

Finished Uncharted 4, never played 1-3, but did love The Last of Us. U4 was very meh, in comparison, IMO. (Minor spoilers throughout) Do any of the prior Uncharted ever address what a terrible person Nathan Drake is? I feel like there was a huge missed opportunity for hilarious dialogue...

Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews *SPOILERS*

The Force Awakens actually made me like the prequels more. Funny enough, I read the interview where George Lucas seemed butthurt and talked about how Force Awakens will probably be popular with the masses but implied that it lacked any interesting themes or characters. I laughed it off as...

Halo 5: Guardians

I think playing the Spartan Ops from Halo 4 is a prerequisite to understanding a lot of the story in Halo 5. I played through Halo 4 campaign, but not Spartan Ops (release schedule was too slow for me to maintain focus) so Halo 5 didn't make a whole lot of sense at first. I read a summary on...

anyone ever purchase a high-end item from someone on craigslist?

Meeting somewhere outside your home is more for your protection than theirs. Not hard for a malicious person to feign interest in buying, meet you at your home, tell you he's not interested, then suddenly you got robbed the next day. Obviously, not as big a concern if you live in an...

anyone ever purchase a high-end item from someone on craigslist?

Plan isn't terrible, but the idea of moving from one location (Starbucks) to another (bank) might be kind of a hassle unless they are literally right next to each other. Keep in mind, assuming this guy's a legit seller, he's got his own security fears about YOU, so asking him to do anything...

OK to backstab to move up the ladder at work?

Depends on how high the ladder you want to go, but it's absolutely possible to find a job that doesn't require backstabbing to get to a comfortable position. Unless you're talking about elite-level ladder climbing, involving high six figure positions, CEOs, executive management, U.S. Senator...

NOW CLOSED ; List some movies you've watched recently. Theatre, rental, TV... and give a */10

Dragon Ball Z: Ressurection F (7/10) If you go in expecting Dragon Ball Z style action, drama, and suspense, you'll probably be very disappointed. Much like Battle of Gods, Resurrection F is more Dragon Ball and less Dragon Ball Z. Also not recommended for anyone who wasn't a huge fan of the...

Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition

Kind of surprising to me, as well. IMO, Darksiders 1 was more interesting and serves as a better introduction to the Darksiders universe. Just makes zero sense from a marketing standpoint. You're not going to get much in terms of sales from newcomers to the franchise, since a lot of them...

Fallout 4 - it's official! Coming Nov 10, '15

Strategy 2.0: Buy the game day one for console with Best Buy GCU discount ($12 off) and preorder bonus ($10 reward certificate). Beat the vanilla version. Craigslist/Trade-in for ~$35-40. Wait 12 months. Buy GOTY Edition when it goes on sale. Best of both worlds.

Leave console on all day?

You got on your son's case because he turns off the console when he isn't going to play until "a few hours later"? You'd rather he leave it on for hours? What? Why?

Official Destiny Thread

Came back to Destiny last week after not playing since vanilla, so excuse my ignorance, but are the Heroic Story missions meant to be beatable solo? I gave one a try yesterday and the waves of enemies just got overwhelmingly hard. Is it one of those things where you could solo it if you are...

Why do we still have umpires calling balls and strikes?

ESPN, and by extension MLB/NFL/NBA/NHL would lose a crap ton of money if they made sports too precise. I mean, think about the flurry of Internet activity when the umps blew the illegal bat call against the Seahawks earlier this year on Monday night against the Lions? Or the Big 12 conspiracy...
