I remember getting the 40$ orange box and it had like HL2, DODS, CSS, TF2, Portal and a bunch of stuff, I don't even remember. I've gotten years of playtime out of TF2, CS, CSS, DOD, DODS. I still play DODS here and there. Valve is still great at making games that people still play years down...

I'm glad it helped! Yes, the macro tubes you posted are fine, they're the manual focus ones (meaning they don't have the little connectors for electricity) so they cost less. The only down side if you'll need to focus and expose manually, so if you're not super used to that, you can always...

These were shot using a Nikon D5100 (crop camera) with the following lenses: 18-250 mm Sigma lens: 10-20 mm Sigma lens: 70-300 Tamron lens + macro extension: 50mm lens + macro extension: Inverted 18-55mm lens:

In case anyone's interested, here's a 3D animation I made with an updated design of the infamous lightsaber from the latest Star Wars trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tKFJYn8yaw

This might be a little late but I have lots of experience with doing Macro for cheap. Here are your best options for any DSLR (I use Nikon but this applies to Canon as well) for the least money in order of what I would recommend, but first, here are some small samples of the results you'll...

Hi there. Unfortunately, that is not the case. When playing any 3D game, the 3D items will remain the same size relative to your screen, but the screen will just use more or less pixels to display them. The only difference you will notice is more pixelated edges and larger pixels, but since...

I agree. Lots of people are gay and just fit in normally. They're not kept out of any conventions and lots of anime conventions are full of gay people...so why have your own and stand out/alienate straight people? If any place was called "StraightCon" it would get 0 funding and sponsors...

Someone explain to me how the words "big boobs" out of context are offensive and to who. I guarantee you none of the over-sensitive s who would find the word "boobs" offensive has ever seen it in the code or would have any idea how to find it. Shame on Microsoft for apologizing instead of...

Use uncompressed if you want no compression. :P "Super" is also a good free converter which works with practically all knows audio and video formats. Also, more info from Wikipedia: "Software support A range of software has native Matroska support. Those include media players such as...

Doesn't beat the guy texting while walking INTO A BEAR! hahaha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmhvdtX72eQ

Cause people are naive and don't mind paying full price twice for the same product, lol. 2D to 3D is as simple as applying a filter in Photoshop unless you're actually re-shooting everything using a 3D camera (which has 2 lenses and records two streams, basically like the left and right eyes)...

Forget free speech, that is just a blatant lie! Games are millions of times less likely to cause violence or aggressive behavior than eating or speaking. Writing that smoking can cause lung cancer on cigarettes is perfectly accurate, but you can't just make shit up.

Maybe they meant 0.2%...there's no way people have no bank accounts, I don't think I've ever met anyone over the age of 16 who doesn't have at least one.

Every style of visuals you see in any game currently out is doable in the Unreal Engine 3...Download the UDK, import a HL2 map and it'll look exactly the same if you use the same textures and lighting. The engine has nothing to do with the art style developers go with, it allows you to do...

They can start by not calling it theft, lol.
