TROPHY CASE

That was just beautiful. by killermokey19in battlefield3

[–]PenName 4 points5 points ago

I know, right? People who get super excited and are all "whoa, you owned him!" need to realize that, hey, guess what, that guy shot your ass down. You're just lucky you managed to even things out.

It's the equivalent of a death nade- turns a loss into a tie.

First attempt at HDR. I'm calling it "Chance of Thunderstorms". Now, what all did I do wrong? by MMDeveloperin photocritique

Hi- random question, but where was this shot? One of those boats looks a lot like one my grandfather used to own.

How I feel working for minimum wage by bigdawg729in gameofthrones

[–]PenName -4 points-3 points ago

Not a rich vs. poor thing from a parenting abilities standpoint- just a pure quality of life for the kid argument. Minimum wage is not enough income to be able to support yourself and a child. If you want a kid, you need to find a way to make more than $7.25 an hour.

So I'm watching War Games... by PenNamein battlefield3

It's really obvious when you're watching the movie- the shitty iPhone screengrab doesn't do the similarity justice.

If only more minimum wage people followed the part about fathering no children.

How do I make my pictures look like this? Is it the film or editing? by wpaulsonin postprocessing

[–]PenName 13 points14 points ago

Sigh. Reddit- don't downvote someone who's making a statement; post a reply explaining why their comment isn't accurate. The point is to have conversations, not obliterate someone's incorrect opinion. The downvote is for people who don't do anything to further discussion- like eartho down there.

Anyway, it's not HDR, but I can see why you'd think that. Those shades of green/teal are pretty different than colors you see in most pictures. However, the shot doesn't show the wide range of tones that HDR is known for (if it was HDR, you'd have whiter whites, more vivid oranges and blues, darker blacks, along with the nice green/teal that's going on here.) I don't know how this was specifically done, but I'd play with tone mapping sldiers and contrast to get something close.

My uncle died on Wednesday, and hid 10k somewhere in the house. Today, I found it. Can't help but think he was chuckling as he hid this one... by superfiedmanin pics

They weren't trying to teach a lesson via debt- they were honestly surprised that I hadn't taken their lessons to heart. My criticism was that their intentions were there, but they never taught the habits to go along with their logical and rational explanations for what to do. They figured I'd do what I was told because I'd see the correctness in what they told me.

"Seriously, isn't is suspicious?"

"Man, that paperwork will take a good 10 minutes. Do you want to stay past 4pm??"

"No..."

Damn right. We've got happy hours to get to."

Good for you! My parents always strongly suggested stuff like that, but for some reason thought it was a good idea to let me make my own mistakes and decisions. I remember being broke in college and having my dad ask "well, what happened to all that gift money we told you to save?"

Telling someone what they should do vs. actively helping create habits is one of the missteps of my parents' parenting style. They were great people and I'm not complaining at all, but you should go hug your parents for being forceful with you the next time you see them.

A deal's a deal, let's do this by streulpitain WTF

Lamar Smith will introduce the "Truth or Get Flung Out" bill in congress. The TGFO act would usher in a new era of honesty in internet posts by threatening to ban sites that don't actively monitor their users activity for truthfulness.

Friend of mine just pulled this at a Sonic, gotta hand it to him... by dashdanwin videos

I thought the most impressive part was managing to rack up a $35 order at a fast food restaurant.

Battlefield 3 DLC Rumor – All American Map Pack by Unikrakenin battlefield3

[–]PenName 4 points5 points ago

China would be cool- I remember the old BF2 maps that were pretty fun.

But, I'm worried that EA is still infatuated with Call of Duty and will do something dumb like release a map pack that's nothing but shitty non-vehicle maps like Operation Metro. DICE may not want to, but EA seems to want to imitate CoD as much as possible.

I hope that when Conan gets bored, he creates a cartoon series that runs on Fox. It's so hilarious and amazing that it gets cancelled after only 3 seasons. Soon after, it becomes hugely popular and is watched and quoted in mainstream culture and on sites like Reddit for years and years.

Vote now in the final round of the Best of 2011 Awards by hueypriestin blog

I know this comment is super late and will probably not be seen by anyone, but I still wanted to petition people to vote for the Lucas submission as submission of the year. I know Reddit has always been charitable, but I believe that one took us to a whole new level and opened up a brand new way for Reddit to help the unfortunate. All the other submisisons are great, but none are as big a game changer as Lucas was, in my humble opinion. Thanks for considering.
