First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 21, 2004 8:06am PDTChronicles of Riddick finally opened here this week, probably gonna go check that out this weekend. Escape from Butcher Bay for the Xbox was also recently released, not sure about picking that up though. So many games still left to finish. Maybe in a few months. For those of you wondering where the FileShack Chicago server went, don't worry, it's not broken again. Just doing some maintenance on it this weekend as the configuration was different compared to the other servers. It should be back Sunday or early Monday. And hello to all you G4 Tech TV viewers visiting the site for the first time ;D Also on FileShack
- Silent Heroes v0.35 to v0.40 Patch - update for this BF1942 mod.
- Pulse Shacknews Segment - our little website was featured on the G4techTV show Pulse.

I mean.. I have found that I have better luck with the Desert Eagle.. a .50 caliber pistol... hitting targets at extreme range, than I do with a damned rifle. In fact, the deagle has extreme stopping power and usually quite good accuracy... if it didn't have a seven round clip it'd be ridiculous.
Still, I have noticed that some people are quite capable of consistency with the M4A1/AK47 at range. I guess they just know where to aim... which is annoying. Why can't you just aim at the actual target and make the shot?
Important tips:
If you are really green, go for the shotgun or auto-shotgun. It is a lot more effective in terms of "spray and pray" shooting, you just need to be pretty close to the target most of the time (I've gotten a few headshots at range though). Also, the regular shotgun is really inexpensive.
Always stop moving before you start firing. Even if you are in the middle of a crazy ass firefight, make sure you are standing still before pulling the trigger. Even if the other guy has the drop on you, if he keeps walking, chances are most of his shots will miss you even if he's so close you can smell his breath.
Don't be the first one in, and never run into open areas. Go slowly around corners, and try to look behind yourself pretty often.
Just the regular kevlar is usually OK if you're trying to save money. The helmet *might* save your life, but it probably won't.
If you stand inside of the smoke from a smoke grenade, you can see through it.. but you're pretty much invisible. Unfortunately, smoke clouds aren't that large and you have a good chance of dying from a spray and pray.
Flashbangs that land behind you can still flash you.

Yes that's the red version of TF Binaltech(Alternators in the U.S.) Jazz(called Miester for TM reasons).
With a $46 difference between the AMD 64 3200+ and the 3000+, does it make much since to go with the 3000 and use the 46 bucks for something better, or will I really miss the .2ghz performance as more demanding games come out?

Yes, following up on the good response to FoxAmp, an extension has surfaced that allows you to control your favorite music player (works with winamp, itunes, wmp, and more) in the status bar of firefox. It shows the currently-playing song as well as allowing you to bring up the player at any time. It also features the standard play, pause, skip, etc. buttons.
