Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jun 02, 2003 6:18pm PDTHappy Monday aye ladies? Something like this could really change things around in P2P land, check out this story on people being paid to distribute authorized files on Kazaa. Hmmmm very interesting stuff. I'm sure the RIAA or MPAA or someone will complain though just because they dont own the company.
- The FCC has adopted those new media rules, ayeeee! - Some goofballs and their silly games and school (Also, Lowtax is a loser) - Crazy twins story.. Wow - Dude humps beauty queen, cant talk about itLastly, we'll wrap up the evening with a little editorial @ HOCP discussing the recent um.. turmoil in synthetic benchmark land. Personally I've never really given much attention to benchmarks outside of the latest and greatest actual games. *shrug*

We grilled last night, and when I got up this morning I looked out on the back porch and I see that I left the grill open. So I open the door to go out and close it, and when I do, My cat runs in the house. This is pretty normal for her, except this morning she has caught a chipmunk, which is still alive. In her excitement to show me, she runs in the house, drops it and looks up triumphantly, when she does the chipmunk hauls ass for its life and runs under the couch. So now I have a live chipmunk in the house.
I yell "God Dammit Cat!" which brings my daughter into the room. I explain what's going on, and then I lift furniture while she aims the cat at the last known chipmunk location. The chipmunk eludes capture three or four times, until it eventually runs back out onto the deck, then escapes into the woodpile.
Stupid Cat.

TONIGHT, ladies and shackers, is my first 'official' G4 television appearance. AFAIK -- tonight is the first time in history a shacker has ever hosted a nationally broadcast television show. :)
The show is ARENA, and it airs on the G4 network tonight (at 8:00). Feel free to watch and laugh at me, and I'll even warn you in advance: I SUCK as a host of this show. The first two episodes are probably (I still haven't seen them) going to be VERY painful. The THIRD however, should be tollerable... I even slipped in a TROGDOR REFERENCE!
I'm late for dinner, but I wanted to share this important night with all of you.
FYI: Most of my lines are PURE IMPROV (sans the into and bottom of each show), and this was my first time ever being partnered with my awesome (yet total polar opposites) co-hosts; hence the complete lack of chemistry and general un-easyness.
Okay, I'm done qualifying -- just give me 'till episode 4 or 5 before you ban me from every posting here again. ;)
No time for a spell check, sorry... gotta run.

I've read that you only get full experience points for killing enemies that are around the same level as you (I know the true formula). A listing of enemies and their levels shows that for Nightmare, Act II, the lowest level enemies are 45. The same list shows that monsters at my level (lvl40) and below can only be found in Tristram and lower on Nightmare, OR in Act V on Normal. Since I'm only lvl40, should I keep messing around in NM, Act I until I get to 45 or fall back to Act V, Normal?
Also annoying, I dropped back into a normal game and dropped the Horadric Staff (from NM unfinished quest) to make inventory room, and couldn't pick it back up :[ Looks like I'll have to do those quests again.

Ok so I installed LOD last nite and made a barb just to make sure everything was kosher, and I was going to delete him and make something else, but I kinda enjoy being able to pummel baddies, so my question is what is a good barb strategy? I'm level 16 now, and what I've mainly pumped is strength and Axe Mastery (its level 17), is this retarded to do? I'm pretty weak against magic/lightning/fire but other then that I do ok.

Since my VCR seems to have bitten the dust (http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=7693513) I need to replace it..
Now, I don't/can't use a DVD player (I do have one), since I need input/output jacks to hook my PS2 up to it.
Anyone have any suggestions on a new VCR? About the 100-150 price range...

Dear Craig of the past;
I am writing you from the future, I am on my deathbed and wish to tell you my regrets. I regret that I never took that trip to mars with june, and I regret that I didn't sell my microsoft stocks before the US had bill gates hanged for treason.
I also regret that I will not be alive to see the majestik unevilnig of duke nukem forever featuring the all new half-life 12 engine.
Love, Craig of the Future 8)

There was this game where I had a lightning resist shrine in the City of Blood, but the game got interrupted so I never got to try it out :(
That would have been sweet... not having to worry about his Lightning Inferno. Is it a fire based attack as well?

SHACK POLL!!
The last mix I recorded and uploaded was received well. I'm going to record another one very soon, but should I record my 136 BPM happy anthem trance set (Solar Stone, Mark Shimmon, Three Drives, Neo & Farina, etc.; stuff that shitkatapult would hate and OverBurN would love), or should I put together an impromptu set of some of the deeper stuff I've picked up recently (pretty much like the first track of the set I recorded)?

rocked hardcore, but one thing that pissed me off, the cinema didnt have its full 8.1 + speaker system going.
it sounded bad, only the 2 big frontal speakers were going, and when action was happening, it just didnt sound as great when i first watched reloaded.
I still got that tingly feeling though, when something great was happening :)
