BEER!
by Sander Pilon, Aug 19, 2001 4:20pm PDTA birthday is not complete without a good amount of Birthday Early Evening Reading! ... and so ends another day of mayhem and havoc on the Shack. I will leave you for your regular programming, but not before these final words of wisdom:
- A bunch of Mexican state governors were spotted in a topless cafe. On seeing the group of reporters, the governors said they had been brought to the cafe by a driver when they simply asked to be taken somewhere for a coffee. Riiiiiiiiight!
- Barely legal self-bondage from LA. A 12 year old girl was found bound, gagged - but later she admitted she staged the scene because she was mad at her mother.
- Gays and Lesbians are not 'homosexual'. At least, according to the new Scotland Yard manual. The new manual instructs policemen to find more appropriate terms people in the LGB group. (That would be Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals)
- The existance of guns that look like cellular phones is nothing new. However, this is the first video I've seen of one in action.
- As seen in on the shackforum and in the comments - Flatulence in the matrix. Things you didn't want to know about Neo.
- (Update) New in on number one of the top ten reasons not to run a gaming website - Mothers that send in kindergarten pictures on your birthday! Our eternal gratitude to sHugamom for the picture. Scoop: Read one of the excuses our favorite webmaster made up after not doing his homework! (The word document contains nothing but the picture)

I played through the entirety of Trespasser today from when I woke up to around 6:30am.
I haven't had so much fun playing a game in forever. It got slammed so fucking hard
EVERYWHERE, but christ...I was sad when I beat the game because I know they'll never
be a game made again that's anything like it :(
I can understand the game isn't for most people. It's totally different than anything I've
ever played. It takes getting used to, but after a while, everything just felt natural.
The game coming out around the time as Quake 2 did, when the latter was an instantly accessible
game while Trespasser demanded alot more learning and patience...it doesn't surprise me
at all the kind of response it got. People were expecting DooM with dinos.
Anyway, the more I played it, the more I liked it, and every mission just got better and better
to the point of orgasmic. I had 5 or 6 of the scariest moments I've EVER had in a video
game today, and I'm not even counting all the "OH SHIT!" moments. I was totally fucking
entranced by the game. My gf came home from work and she barely likes any games at all
(CS, the Sims, and Tekken 3 are the only games she has ever really liked) but she wouldn't
let me go to sleep until I beat the game because she was mad into it.
Quite a few times, something fucking AWESOME would happen, and she would be like "OH SHIT!"
and she wasn't even fucking playing it. I saw so much emergent AI behavior, I was shitting
my pants. I'll post some stories if anyone is interested. The last few levels were so
amazingly fun and immersive.
It's not an action game to any degree. It's far more like a survival/adventure game. There's
alot of travelling on foot between sections, but there's also ALOT of intense heart-pounding
shit that happens if you go for the long haul. I'm so jaded by simple shooters these days
(i've played them all), it takes so much to get me to love a game now. The most recent
game I really enjoyed prior was Deus Ex and I know I'm going to buy AvP2 the minute it hits
the shelves, but I'm an Aliens nut :p This game is a one-of-a-kind, hate it or love it.
Anyway, I'm sorry if I've blasphemed, but I loved the game and I wish I could spread the
gospel about it so maybe even one like-minded person could find a really special game that
they always heard was a hall of fame turd. Warning though, you probably won't like the game
if: you hate sims, you hate realism, or you the only physics you care about is air control.

If god is infinitly powerful, could he make a rock so freakin heavy that even he could not lift it?? If God cannot make the rock or if he cannot lift it, that implies he isn't infinitly powerful or that he's not God. So can anyone answer this question?
