Question of the Day
Someone poses a question each day and everyone joins in with answering it. Simple. :-)
What's your favorite season?

Explain what's to like about it. - today's Plinky question: http://www.plinky.com/prompts...

That's hard because every season brings me interesting scenes to photograph. Hmmm....

Autumn
- RAPatton
from iPhone
Pretend I'm a 3rd-grader: Summer is my favorite season because it is fun.
- Mitch
Summer, because it's hot.
- Anika
Love that pic. What season is my favorite depends on what area we're talking about. If it's LA, my favorite season is Fall. Fall blows all the smog out of LA, leaving the air clean and crisp and exposing the beautiful mountain views that were part of the reason people flocked to LA in the first place. If we're talking the Bay Area, spring is my favorite season because of the flowers and early fruit harvests.
- Spidra Webster
Summer - Autumn in New Brunswick comes in a very close second. (Autumn in Alberta, not so much)
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
I like summer because it simply makes me happy, but fall is the best! Nothing beats scarves, sweaters, and awesome warm hats!
- Anna Haro
Spring, then fall. Then summer. Winter sucks apart from being a little pretty sometimes. Spring is awesome because 1) it means winter is over, and 2) everything is coming back to life.

Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer

Spring and Summer. Love the photo!
- Jeff P. Henderson

Fall. Huge margin.
- Jeremy
Absolutely the fall! Besides the fresh fallen leaves, which are "bee-you-tee-full" I might add, it's much more than that. It's almost as if the combination of loneliness, togetherness, sweetness, sorrow, happiness, tribulations and love was come together in one lump sum as if that same "sum" was something tangible that you could wrap your arms around it, embrace it and never let it go :+)
- Tim Tunnicliff
I love Fall (and winter). I have allergies, so dead plants are good plants. ;-)

Are games getting easier, harder or not changing? #games

Are games getting easier, harder or not changing?
- Kol Tregaskes
They are just as difficult as they were, but the graphics are much better!
- Michael Fidler
FPS-TPS ones are getting "piece of cake". Because producers are more intended to attact gamers with fancy graphics (that need more powerful graphics cards) but RPG's are getting harder, gloomy and needs more user intelligence to deal with AI
- Acharad Sami VanJoulee
Much harder
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
from iPhone
Games are definitely getting harder, and it's absolutely NOTHING to do with my increasing age and diminishing dexterity.
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
The general census is that they are getting easier. What do you say to that?
- Kol Tregaskes
I think, for the most part, video games reached a peak in their difficulty a few years back, and have started to get a little easier again than they once were. The systems, though, (with the exception of the Wii) are getting more complex and difficult for us old fogeys to understand.
- Curtiss Grymala
In my case, they were already so hard 10 years ago that I gave up playing, and stuck with Tetris and other puzzle games. Really didn't want to spend hours and hours just to reach the final screen.
- Jordi Soler
Games only appear to be getting harder because as we get older, there's always something else competing for our valuable leisure time, so we have fewer hours free for gaming. (Oh, and for me, it's also got a lot to with increasing age and diminishing dexterity...)
- Andrew Terry
Okay after thinking this over some more, I need to modify my answer. Games have become more difficult and I attribute most of this to the advances in AI. Enemies were once very predictable, but now they often do the unexpected and can even coordinate their attacks. I love this because this, because their varied responses add to the re-playability of the game. What has definitely become...

When you add someone to a #twitterlist (or several #twitterlists ), do you often remove them from the people you are following?
RetiredTeacherD and Kol Tregaskes liked this
No i don't. I use Private Lists as a Filter. And Public Lists as something the outside world can benefit from. Most of the time i stay on the standard unfiltered Timeline though. And so i cant unfollow... they would be missing there. Also, i think if you unfollow someone he/she disappears from the list as well.
- Hans-Joerg Stangor
No, I could add people to lists without them appearing into the 'following' list.

When our daughter was about a year old, we had dinner at a local place known for making its own root beer - kind of an institution. We already thought our server was a bit of a ditz, but we really started to wonder when she disappeared after we ordered dessert. Like, seriously disappeared - she was gone a good 20 minutes! Finally she reappeared with our desserts and this opening line: "A lot's happened since I saw you last ..." She had managed to get herself locked in the dessert freezer!

I have a ton of them from dining room staff perspective. I was sommelier in a famous French restaurant in the US. One special dinner we had top chefs from around the world come in, who all proceeded to get very drunk. Dessert course was a "gateau de deux chocolat glace",a frozen white chocolate ice cream and dark chocolate cake served on a sauce of white and dark chocolate. Needless to say, the food fight that ensued from these drunken food artists was definitely messy.

Plumerias are lovely, but I don't have a favorite flower. I tend to like the small flowers from my plants versus the big showy ones.

Definitely the tulips for me. It will always remind me when I was in college, walking around pregnant (with both kids), and seeing the different-colored tulips all over my college campus
- Shevonne
Carnations and peonies!
- Rochelle
Plumerias and cherry blossoms and ranunculus and and and... (way too many to mention). Plumeria because they remind me of Hawaii and I love the smell, cherry blossoms because they don't last forever, ranunculus because they're so cheery
- Tamara
Foxgloves, Hemlock, and white oleander - and not just because they're poisonous.
- Katy S
I like cardinal flowers for their delicate red petals, monarda and thistles for their spiky-headed appearance, and black-eyed susans for their familiarity. (Black-eyed susans are sort of the floral version of comfort food for me.) Among trees, I'm partial to cherry blossoms in all their varieties, both wild and cultivated, for their delicate pinks and whites.

Dog rose, one of the simplist of roses but it grows happily in hedge rows and beside roads. It's not fussy like a modern hybrid and the hips are stunning and edible.
- Yant
Poppies. Vibrant, fragile yet strong.
- Irma Vermaat
Star Gazer lilies were my favorite but since they're extremely toxic to cats (and since Simon ate lilies last year), they're not allowed in the apartment, anymore. My alternate favorite are Gerbera Daisies. It's like having a bouquet of happy faces! (And they're not toxic to kittehs!)

I have lights and bats and everything!), but it turns out that some a-hole has arranged for the local Guy Fawkes/Fireworks display to take place on the 31st, too. We live in a small town, so this pretty much ensures that most people will watching that, rather than trick or treating.. :-(

- Anika
I don't think the 80s was any worse than any other decade of the 20th century, so I'll stick with the one I grew up in. The second half of the 20th century has a lot of advantages over the first half, even for white males like me. Vaccines for one, so no dying of preventable childhood diseases. Also, no child labor FTW!

What’s Your Favourite Focal Length? - http://digital-photography-school.com/whats-y...
See-ming Lee 李思明 SML and Imabug liked this
"Last night I was looking back over a lot of the images that I’d taken of my kids and realised that while I use a zoom lens (a 24-105mm f/4) for a lot of my every day shooting that many of the images I take were around the 80-85mm focal length. It’s an odd one because if you’d asked me to guess what length I shoot at I would have probably said 105mm as that’s as far as the lens goes – but perhaps I’m zooming right in and then widening a little before shooting. It got me wondering what focal length others find themselves shooting at most? Go back through your last 50 or so shots and see what you’re shooting at and let us know!"

I really don't know for me, I'd have to check but I like macro shots but the focal length would be anything. Mainly 105mm though.

"How can a video game be scary? Unlike horror movies where you're stuck watching some hapless victim succumb to scary stuff, video games empower players to fight back. Or at least run away. It's October. Time to identify horror-gaming's essentials."

The motion detector beep in Aliens vs Predator freaked the hell out of me, hehe. Silent Hill and the Resi's do scary very well.
- Kol Tregaskes
Scariest part of a video game? How about when the exclamation mark appeared above you in Metal Gear Solid after being in Stealth mode for 20mins hiding behind a truck. Had it as a message tone for a few days. It was replaced quite quickly. Always scared the crap out of me.
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
System Shock 2 scared me to death. I was playing it during the day and wound up outside in the courtyard with my neighbors. Shaking.
- Anika
Anika, I only played the first bit of System Shock, must give it another go some time. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
the price?
- Neil Bernhart
I remember the soundtrack and the lighting in Quake having quite an effect on me when I was younger.
- Curtiss Grymala
Neil, LOL. Yeah some can be expensive but I tend to wait a month or so and the prices drop by up to 50%. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Silent Hill is the scariest of all games, the soundtracks and the lighting makes it really spooky. Never play in the dark with headphones on the PSP.
- Faraz Mullick
When playing Doom for the first times, it was quite creepy when you heard the enemy sounds and didn't know behind which corner the next enemy will appear (or sometimes behind).
