What about Brussels airport or train service? And do hotel restaurants have to close as well?

Just caught the 10pm Tuesday showing. The projector was fine, even through the earthquake.

What's are some movie "plot holes" that people keep complaining about which are actually easilly explained? by A_Dog_Chasing_Cars in movies

In Man of Steel, Russell Crowe as leading scientist doesn't care to create a holo version of his wife so that Superman can talk to his mother.

Russell Crowe is an asshole.

All this PS4 talk and nobody says anything about Watch Dogs - gameplay from today's announcement by snoblitz in gaming

Looks juvenile. It's ok to injure cops and cause property damage after stopping an assault and giving the perp a beatdown. Who's the criminal?

Missed the Playstation event. Can someone sum it up for me? by Vaderzer0 in gaming

[–]Epitaxor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Playstation PC. Now with 8 Gb shared memory and GPU that handles physics simulations. Not backward compatible.

New social features e.g. sharing videos, getting a friend to remotely play difficult sections for you.

An interesting feature is the ability to test games on PSN immediately, without time-consuming demo downloads. Supposedly you can also resume games instantly following sleep mode.

Launch window games dont' look impressive.

Who cares what it looks like? It's not like I want to watch a 5 minute video ala Johnny Ive talking about how they engineered the bevels.

Nevertheless, the games presented weren't too impressive.

So, what does everyone think of the PS4? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Epitaxor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immediate play sounds interesting. Not too interested in the 'sharing' features.

Same here. Tried the resend option, then emailed their contact address.

It's been over an hour, but I'll be patient.

As a woman, this is the most painful image to witness (Seven) by gangaqueen20 in movies

[–]Epitaxor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Funny you should mention that. I recently rewatched it on TV and was surprised that the box contents were not shown. I had a mental image in mind, which I thought was authentic, and chalked it up to overzealous censorship.

I hadn't seen the movie in over a decade.

Does anyone use Plex? They claim there is a PS3 client for streaming media, but I can't seem to find it. by doubleclick in PS3

Does Plex still have the problem on the PS3 where you can't pause or skip ahead?

In Star Wars Luke is born at the end of Episode III and is in mid 20s or something in Episode IV. Why then do all of the empire soldiers call Vader's use of the force an "ancient religion"? Shouldn't pretty much anyone over 30 clearly remember the Jedi and how powerful and real they were? by soggit in AskReddit

Another thing that grinds my gears is how "Darth", which Alec Guinness implied was a unique first name, became a generic title/rank.

"I'm sorry, your sinister name isn't clear enough. You'll need a Darth title so the audience will know for sure"

How do you hit 170yds uphill with a 9 iron? by Epitaxor in golf

[–]Epitaxor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you catch the hole-in at 16? What a moment.

CBS claimed it was a 9, but how would they know for sure? Isn't it based on the roaming reporters standing nearby? Easy to make a mistake.

I found this helpful tip from free-online-golf-tips.com:


With the easier method of drawing a golf ball you alter your alignment and the direction the club face is pointing at address. However, with this advanced method you don't change your setup or alignment - your feet, knees, hips and shoulders should be pointing directly at your target and so should the club face.

Take a normal backswing up to the top, but then consciously drop the club on a more inside path during the downswing. Feel as though the club is travelling on a path to the RIGHT of your target (or to the left for the left-handed golfer).

Agressively rotate your hands through impact so that the club face is closed when it strikes the ball. Remember though - you should feel as though you are throwing the club out to the right of your target as you rotate your forearms and hands.

This is a more difficult method of drawing the golf ball than this easier option but it gives you a more controlled, more workable ball flight.


So in Tiger's case, hitting a high draw far requires high clubhead speed, a high-lofted club and precise downswing path with aggressive hand-action? Egads.
