Hi all! So last december, I bought my brother's D70s. Love it. Great unit, and I've been having a blast with it. My wife has been using it a ton too. We've come into a little unexpected cash... and we're both having so much fun learning photography, we've decided to get another body... or...

Greetings all. I've been a point-and-shoot user for many many moons. However, in another life I used to be a professional videographer, so I have a bit of knowledge about composition, aperture and so forth. (Still need to refresh, but that's another story.) Anyway... long story short... my...

Hi guys... I posted something similar in the "Basics" forum, but perhaps I should be asking here. I'm about to take my first trip into the wonderful world of HD. :) I've pretty much settled on getting an LCD. Bright room, short viewing distance (6-7 feet) and a couple other minor factors...

Hi all! Okay... bear with me here. I've been an HTF member for a while now, but I'm just beginning my first foray into the world of HDTV. I've got a great 5.1 DTS audio system, fairly new DVD player (upconverts to 1080i), but I know very little about HD sets. My current TV is a 36"...

Hey all! First time I've done one o' these "personal" type threads. God knows I've participated in enough of 'em. :D Okay..a little background. I'm having a problem with a buddy of mine. We've been friends for nearly 20 years now, and we've been through thick-n-thin together. We've had...

Interesting. My local paper's critic said much the same thing as most of you are saying. It was creepy, and the soul-less eyes of the CGI characters just heightened that creepy vibe... I haven't seen it yet, and based on what everyone is saying, I think I'll wait for the DVD.

Hey all! A story I just need to share, if for no other reason than to A) Express my frustration and B)Admit my silly mistake. So, I finally decided to upgrade my home PC. (I've been working with my laptop, and haven't touched the desktop for quite some time. Last email I received on it was...

Has anyone gotten the new XBOX maps for Pandora Tomorrow? If so, how are they? I don't mind spending 5 bucks for some new content, but I want to know it's GOOD first. :) (Side note: I haven't gotten any Live time of late... so if there are any Pandora rookies out there.. add me to your...

I know posting links to active auctions is a no-no (and no, I'm not the seller...just a BTTF fan!) ... so head over to Ebay and have a look up this thing! Just search for "DeLorean". (I hope this thread is okay mods! I was just blown away by this as a BTTF fan, and wanted to share with my...

Grrr. Last night (and this morning), the local news announced that Famous Players, one of the big movie theater chains in Canada, was "simplifying" it's pricing structure. Regular evening shows have dropped by around a buck. It's now 10.95 for an adult ticket. Period. However, there are...

(I thought about posting this in the Game Hardware forum, but I'm not actually talking about the hardware itself... mods feel free to move if needs be...) So I popped in an XBOX demo disk last night. (The one with the 007 demo) And up flares an ad for a new lightgun that works with the...

Just curious if anyone around here still plays Wolfenstein... I just picked up a used copy for 15 bucks (Cdn) so I'm hoping to play a little online. :) (I've heard that Wolf is rich with cheaters, much like my rant about RS3...)

So what the heck is up with this? I hope the fine folks that made this game are doing something about this. In the past few days, I've encountered people who are VERY hard to kill. (As in blasting them with almost a full clip from an M60. That's 100 rounds!) I've found people tossing...

Has anyone seen this? Some fans got together and did an amazing (for a fan-flick) full-length episode of original Trek. Go have a look! Love it or hate it, ya gotta admire the work they put into it. (They are also a non-profit group collecting funds for the "Space Shuttle Childrens Fund", so...

Un-friggin-believable... Couple suing Wal-Mart for broken grocery bag... What makes this even more idiotic is that in addition to suing Wal-Mart because she dropped a MAYO JAR on her foot, her husband is suing for an equal amount. :rolleyes:Because she hurt her FOOT? Where the hell...

This is rather amusing... I just hope that Hildi doesn't hear about this... ;) Foil Prank

Anyone got any tips for playing Rainbow Six 3 online? :D I'm new to LIVE, so I'm really gettin' my butt shot off! Havin' fun doing it, but I'd like to get a few more kills! So anyone have any tips or suggestions? Or do I just need to practice more? :)

My wife and I have gone to Las Vegas three times in the past 5 years. Haven't been for a couple years now, actually. (Gotta go back SOON!) I love Vegas, and ususally keep up on resort-related news... but I *JUST* heard about the changes to Treasure Island. (Co-worker noticed I was wearing a...

Hey gang! Well, just celebrated my 35th, and apparently everyone I know is an XBox fan. Lucky me! Got a wireless Xbox adapter. Got LIVE (w/MechAssault). Got Rainbow Six 3 and Midway Arcade Treasures. (My wife also got D&D Heros...her b-day is on the 28th.) So, I just had to yell my...

I'm getting so excited!!! I've been reading about everyone's exploits on LIVE for some time now... jealously I might add. :) In 9 days, I'm going out to purchase the Live! kit as well as the hardware needed to get the 'box onto my wireless network. I can barely contain my excitement! (And...

Hi all! Okay... I have a Linksys BEFW11S4, which is a broadband hub with both 802.11b and a 4 port 10/100 switch. My main computer is hardwired to the router. My laptop has a wireless Linksys card (WEP11?). I have no problems with email or web access. Both machines work flawlessly...

Found this today. (Flash 6 needed.) Mac Editor Apologies to my Mac user friends. This was just too amusing. Enjoy! :D (Warning: Minor profanity during video. Don't turn it up too loud.)

Hey all! Okay, I'm thinking about purchasing a parrot for our home. I love parrots, but I've never had a bird before, so I really fear biting off more than I can chew. (And I'm nervous that I'll buy a bird that will scream loud enough for the neighbours to complain.) We really fell in love...

Nevermind... original message removed. Mods please delete thread. I thought the original link posted was amusing... but on second thought it was just too damn easy to take the wrong way, as evidenced by Holadems post. Sorry if anyone was offended. Was not my intention at all. :frowning:

Hey all! I see on my list of things-to-buy is Empire Records: Special Fan Edition, or whatever they are calling the new disc. Has anyone picked this up yet? I already have the older DVD, so I'm wondering if it's worth the double-dip. (This is one of my wifes favorite movies...) Any...

Hey all! Okay, I'm taking a break from my beloved (but not be-Live-ed) XBox right now, and I finally made my long-overdue purchase of Neverwinter Nights. Loving it so far. So, a couple of questions. First off, can anyone suggest some good downloadable stuff? Modules, hak-packs, and so...

Found this today... and laughed my butt off!!! Go check it out... :D http://www.happyfunpundit.com/hfp/archives/000514.html

Hi folks! Okay... I have a couple of questions. My wife and I have been leasing a Pontiac Grand Am, and the lease is done in August. We had been planning to get a Pontiac Vibe. However, we aren't 100% happy with the way our long-time dealer has treated us, and frankly the Vibe, equipped...

Has WB said anything about this issue? I'm one of the folks that got this set (Christmas gift) and Disk 2 is actually a duplicate of Disk 4. I know a few other people have mentioned this in other threads.... but I'm curious if WB has made any kind of statement or anything on this. A rather...

Well gang.. after askin' everyone to push me over the fence, I went shoppin today. It's gonna cost me 500 bucks to get my beloved XBox online! I just can't justify that cost... and my wife would shoot me I think. :) (Better spent on DVD's...snicker) Keep in mind, these are Canuck-bucks...
