I can’t fully express how happy this makes me. I don’t know who made this magical work of art, but the link sends you to the source.

Taking a Stab at HDR

My first crack at HDR images. It seemed only fitting that my first attempt be with photos from my favorite place on Earth.

I don’t have a camera that does bracketing so I had to manually adjust the shutter speed for each exposure. All in all, I’m pretty happy with how they came out. what do you think?

As you can tell from the watermark, I don’t have the full version of photomatix. I’m not sure if I’m ready for that investment yet.

TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL Official Movie Site.

We got to see this last night at The Royale in Mesa. It is fantastic. I don’t know why this isn’t getting a wider release… although there was something fun about watching it in a small, indie theater.

Go see this movie! DO IT!!!

I can’t adequately express how excited I am for this game. Nor am I proud of the things I would do to be a part of the beta… but I would do things. Bad, bad things.

A Moment of Silence for Atomic Comics

chrisrunoff — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 19:57:02 +0000

Fans around Arizona, and the nation, are coping with the loss of local comic book store, Atomic Comics.

Last night, all four stores quietly closed for the last time. No official word on the Atomic Comics site, but the closure has been confirmed by former employees and other sources.

This is a sad moment and I want to add my voice to the throngs of fans and patrons mourning the loss of this great chain of stores. Atomic is where I first picked up great titles like, The Walking Dead, and Chew… they will be missed.

Check out these other sites for more on the closure:

-note: Thanks to Lightning Octopus for the links, I first found on their post.

Earlier this year, my niece got married; shortly after, she and my nephew… in-law (is that a thing?) moved to So. Cal because he got a job with Carbine Studios.

This week, Carbine announce their new game, WildStar. Check out the trailer!

I like the animation style and the game looks very interesting. Check it out.
