FWIW, if you set your camera to take multiple photos (the more, the merrier) of a high-ISO static shot, then stack and average them together, it will remove a *lot* of noise.

Heh. Here's a little gem: if you rename, for example, 'notepad.exe' to 'Diablo IV beta 1.2.65.exe', you can add it as a non-Steam game and troll your buddies, because your status will say "D3V1L ST3V3 is playing Diablo IV beta 1.2.65". :evilgrin:

My hopes that this would be worth watching plummeted from the first second of the hangar scene. Let me be perfectly clear: if you want to simulate the viewpoint of a *person* who is running/engaging in strenuous physical activity/etc., then jitter cam can be a useful immersion aid. If, on the other hand, you are…

One of my fave twitch FPS games is still UT2004 Invasion mutator. While the learning curve is more like a cliff ascent if you don't read a guide, it is a hella fun co-op PvE panicfest, kind of along the lines of Killing Floor, only with mostly-invisible raptors, boulder throwing titans, and flying eyeballs that can…

Clearly, someone needs to play/replay Police Quest...

Some in Canada, too.

You can play a lot of Angry Birds during that two minutes of silence. :grin:

A little something to consider...

Yup. I have literally barbequed in a blizzard at twenty below. Things weren't bad at all, and, when it flared up, a handful of snow settled it right down.

:cough:

It's actually pretty easy to make gloves that apply pressure to the gripping surfaces of your hands, but it probably can't be made cost-effective enough for Joe Gamer.

:sigh: Unfortunately, in this world of "You don't agree with everything I say and do? Obviously, you aren't a friend. #STHUandGTHO!", far too many people, mostly younger, don't seem to have anyone in their lives that they will take solid advice from. The Book of Proverbs nailed it thousands of years ago, proving…

The problem that many people have, including myself, is not that vaccinations in general aren't safe, but that some of the ones that are available now can have drastic side effects. For example, my oldest son ended up in the hospital with seizures within an hour and a half after getting one when he was around three,…

For more thought-provoking questions, check out Randall Munroe's 'What If'.

I find myself wondering why it wasn't attached to a restraining order...

Better idea: If you step on a bird, you get flocked by dozens of them, who steal all of your weapons and money. :evilgrin:

Oh *PLEASE* tell me that there will be an 'Unsafe Return' achievement for knocking someone's weapon out of their hand, then pwning them with it.

If you really want to treat your bird well, you have to watch the Good Eats episode "A Bird In The Pan" (Transcript). I have successfully broiled whole chickens, without issue, in toaster ovens by using his method.

This is relevant to your interests.

One thing that would be sooooo handy is an import/export text box for skills/appearance/etc. All of the info is stored internally as hex numbers anyway, so a long string of them that is copy and pasted is no big deal, and would allow scenarios like "Check out my Mr. Bean orc mage! …
