    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...

    I want to move out west... suggestions?

    Oregon sounds like a decent fit. Portland would put you close the Mt. Hood National Forest. Mild climate. Low cost of living if you're living outside Portland. Oregon/Oregon State are both decent schools. Or Seattle. Seattle itself is expensive, but Tacoma/Olympia is not to far and...

    *Rant* Lack of split-screen options these days

    I'm pretty sure we've had this debate re: Splatoon voice chat before, I really don't feel any desire to go back into it. I'll just say that the absence of voice chat suits my preferences, and it's not as simple as me having the option to mute it. No voice chat creates a more casual online...

    Why do we still use MP3s and other lossy formats?

    Most people can't discern the difference. Most people listen to music on cheap headphones/speakers where the difference is largely undiscernible. Even among people who can discern the difference, it is difficult to detect in modern popular music, with its limited dynamic range (I doubt Taylor...

    *Rant* Lack of split-screen options these days

    I'm not going to try to change your mind because most of your complaints are subjective complaints re: design decisions that can be justified. Most of the games you complained about are actually great games, they just weren't designed with your personal preferences in mind. Which is fine...

    Best way to buy halo 5?

    The prerequisites may or may not be worth it to you, but: Best Buy is giving a $10 reward cert for Halo 5 The Gamer's Club Unlocked membership program (costs $30 for one or two years, can't remember) gives you a 20% discount on all new games, bringing the price down to $48. Many Best Buys...

    Nintendo's Next Platform NX Combines Console And Handheld In Some Way

    I agree with you. I own every platform (Wii U/PS4/XB1/PC) and I might have more games for Wii U than any other platform. There's a lot of things Wii U could've done better (inductive touch, better eShop infrastructure, etc.) but what it does is just fine.

    *Rant* Lack of split-screen options these days

    Meh, if you don't like the games on Wii U, I'm not going to try to change your mind. All I know is that *I* liked them and it has way more couch multiplayer games than any other platform I own (PS4/XB1/PC). So it's the king of couch multiplayer for me. Oh, and Yoshi doesn't require amiibo...

    *Rant* Lack of split-screen options these days

    Wii U is a beast for couch multiplayer. Knocking it because two games have less than ideal multiplayer support is asinine. It still has way more (and arguably way better) couch multiplayer options than PS4 and XB1. And while the Wii-mote may be a less than ideal gaming controller, it's dirt...

    How much would you say this Weber gas grill is worth?

    I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CGG-200-All-Foods-Portable-Tabletop/dp/B001TOWLTO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1444425978&sr=8-4&keywords=cuisinart+grill It's a badass grill for the money if you want/need portability along with a decently large cooking surface. Big enough to...

    How much would you say this Weber gas grill is worth?

    Your analogy would make sense if the normal use case for mattresses involved burning it at temperatures above 400 degrees F on a regular basis, eradicating any and all germs on it.

    No longer buying flagship phones...

    Not familiar with every single phone out there, but my phones have gotten Android updates. HTC One (m8) from 2014 got updated to Lollipop and HTC announced that it'd be getting Marshmallow as well, so it's basically up-to-date through the planned ~three year lifespan I have for it.

    *Rant* Lack of split-screen options these days

    Goes both ways in my experience. Yeah, you get a bunch of low tier casual players who play split screen, but when you get two good players split screen it can be pretty dominating. If you are good, the coordination from being in the same room + extra data/information (from peeking at the other...

    No longer buying flagship phones...

    IMO, the price/performance "sweet spot" is buying last year's flagship non-Apple, non-Samsung device (since HTC, LG, etc. seem to depreciate faster than Apple/Samsung) and upgrading every two years.

    **Official NFL 2015-16 Week 4 'Kaep'-in' Off Q1 Thread**

    The "normal" rule in place right now results in a touchdown if the offense recovered a fumble in-bounds in the endzone. I'm hypothesizing that the rule is in place to discourage intentional fumble plays, because if the offense intentionally fumbles the ball and it goes out of bounds in the...

    A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones - HERE BE SPOILERS

    I've heard that story as well. Kind of stupid way to choose your television production team IMO (doesn't reveal anything about actual television show-making ability), but what do I know. They ended up doing a fine job with it. Not sure how I feel about GoT's emmy record. I love me some...

    **Official NFL 2015-16 Week 4 'Kaep'-in' Off Q1 Thread**

    Just spitballing, but like I said above maybe to discourage "intentional" fumble plays to score a touchdown? Like, lining up in a heavy goal-line set, handing it off to your running back to suck the defense in to play the run. Running back pretend fumbles the ball toward far corner of the...

    It's Flu shot season!

    Article says "needles" *weren't* reused but the syringes that hold the vaccine were reused? Not even sure how that works, but the article says the risk of infection is very low since needles were not reused. Sounds like a case of negligence. I personally don't know how egregious it was...

    No longer buying flagship phones...

    The monthly service payment should have gone down for you, it did for me on Verizon. It's overall better for me, because the old subsidy model pretty much required you to upgrade every two years in order to get the best "value" from your plan. Under the old plan, I paid $45 + $40 per line...

    **Official NFL 2015-16 Week 4 'Kaep'-in' Off Q1 Thread**

    I don't know for sure, but I'd bet it has something to do with not wanting to allow a team to get a touchdown by deliberately fumbling the ball forward into the end zone. There's all sorts of rules to discourage intentional fumbles (like no advancing a fumble on fourth down or after the 2 min...

    Mike Tyson vs Bruce Lee

    Ugh, didn't they already do Donnie Yen vs. Western Boxer in Ip Man 2? Since Ip Man 2 was a blatant rip off of Rocky IV, I'm predicting that Ip Man 3 is going to be Rocky V. -__-; Ip Man 1 might be the best martial arts film of this century though. That 1 v. 10 scene.

    **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    In case anyone cares, from my investigation on the official Blizzard D3 console forums, it seems the specific cause is people with hacked/exploited Gems of Ease, which causes the shared Exp pool to skyrocket. It's also fairly common in public games on console, and apparently on console you just...

    Stuttering/Lock-ups in Fresh Windows 10 Install

    Had a older HP Pavilion p7-1207c that I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and it was working fine. Hardware upgrades beyond stock included a 240gb SSD and a GeForce 660 ti. I also moved the innards into a new case to accommodate a larger power supply for the video card. It was running...

    So . . . I joined a rift matchmaking group on XB1 the other day and gained like 500 paragon levels (went from 160-ish to 730-ish) nearly instantly. Anyone know how that would happen? They opened a portal to Not the Cow Level and when I went in, I started gaining paragon levels so fast the...

    **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    Snapshotting is referring to the fact that for channeled skills (like whirlwind) the game takes a "snapshot" of your active buffs at the beginning of the channel and applies it throughout the channel, even if the buff falls off midway through. I think it also means that buffs applied...
