    I don't get this Easter Dungeon. Killed the thing without thinking much and got a Present Egg, what good is it?

    DSLR Camera

    Read the manual front to back. There's a lot of esoteric stuff in these cameras, so getting to know the ins and outs from the manufacturer is super helpful.

    Hearthstone

    They probably have to nix trading for money reasons. Why trade other people for what you want when you could pull the random pack slot machine for $5 and have a chance at it!! It sucks, but I kind of get it. If the core game is strong enough, then you hook people's wallets by randomizing the...

    Transistor, new game by the creators of Bastion

    Some new info on the strategy aspect: Source (joystiq) And apparently the guy who did the voice of Rucks in Bastion is going to be the voice of the talking sword

    Hearthstone

    I don't think this is end of the world stuff. I play the crap out of Puzzle and Dragons, I'll probably play the crap out of this. Though I question the decision of making this on PCs first rather than just straight to iOS/Android. Yeah, Blizzard is traditionally a PC gaming company, but if you...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Having dropped a bunch of hours on Tri on the Wii, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this point. At least for Tri, there is online only content such as Jhen Mohran and Alatreon (which is admittedly end-game, but they're still interesting fights). Also, while Cha Cha is helpful, he...

    I've had these clip-on Audio Technicas for four years now. Love them to death. Perfect for the office. Wrap them up in their case every night and haven't had any cable problems or anything. Audio-Technica ATH-EW9

    Google Glass

    The thing that rubs people the wrong way is the fact that you can't tell whether or not someone is currently taking a movie. And to that end, I get it. It's creepy not to know whether or not you're being recorded, whether it's from a face mounted camera or even just someone playing on their...

    DSLR Camera

    No doubt, you have to conceive the cool shot before you can attempt to execute it, regardless of what kind of equipment you shoot on. My point was just that I knew that DSLR's lowered the barrier to entry for video, I just wasn't aware of the prevalence of it. I look at a well shot video and...

    DSLR Camera

    So I don't really know much about DSLR video and it's capabilities and what not. I knew that it was used to make an episode of House, but Gizmodo had this vid on their site yesterday, and this guy (DevinSuperTramp) does some really cool things that he puts up on YouTube. The majority of his...

    Top Chef - Seattle

    They could've definitely put less backstory and more episode up front (show them choosing their team, for example). But overall, I think it worked. I was expecting Iron Chef, so the format we got was okay. I can't decide whether or not it would've been better to have them do all their dishes up...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    That said, I havePresto 6 Quartwhich is only $50. It has a recessed locking mechanism, and it's shaped like their 'best value' pressure cooker that costs twice as much. However, I've only really used it for stews so far, but for that it's been pretty awesome. I literally just made another...

    Smartphones

    Battery life is great on the iPhone 5. If you leave it on standby all night without charging, it'll only use 1-2% of charge. The only thing I've noticed is that if you're in a place that gets crappy reception (like my office), it'll expend more charge trying to find a good signal when compared...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Which is what I said a few pages ago: Nostromo with an analog stick + mouse would be king for ARPGs. Actually, it'd be really good for shooters too.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    For ranged projectile, they'll probably just use smart targeting. If it's on your screen, fire at the closest mob in the direction you're facing. If you're trying to attack something offscreen, then you'll probably have to be accurate with the right thumbstick. The only problem I see is for...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Started playing Bastion, and while I really prefer the mouse for ranged and melee attacks, keyboard movement is pretty crappy -- I keep falling all over the place. There needs to be an left-hand analog option for these games. Something like a Nostromo, but with an analog thumbstick.

    Siri can add periods and commas to sentences. For example, I wrote this entire post with Siri and she got the periods and commas correctly. By the way, all you have to do is say the word comma or period in between phrases.

    Maybe I'm a caveman, but I'm not really looking forward to this coming out for general consumers. Personally, my day to day life is pretty damn boring, and I couldn't think of a reason why I'd want one of these over my smartphone to capture something impromptu or vid chat with family. But I know...

    DSLR Camera

    Well, both Nikon and Canon have mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras out (1andEOS-M, respectively). The EOS-M, as far as I've heard, suffers from slow focusing. I'm not sure what's going on with the Nikon 1, but I haven't heard any glowing reviews. If the the EOS-M had decent focusing, I'd...

    All of the NEX cameras can take video. But I don't personally have experience with the Sony NEX series. When I got my T2i two years years ago, the first NEX camera came out. I thought hard about getting a NEX, but it boiled down to Canon lenses. If you want to get into photography, a...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    And while the end-game sucked at release and the story is laughable, the core gameplay was always fun and they've made lots of improvements to the end-game. Yeah, it would've been great to have it in it's current state when it launched last year, but it's become a game that you can just jump...
