While the series wasn't the best I've read, it was certainly great and I will probably read it again one day. GRRM needs to hurry the fuck up with Feast of Crows.

Another post (all in reply) with updated links to the mods, reviews, and homepages if available along with some short blurbs of each mod. Also, if you guys like, I could slap some more single player mods up on my space this evening; while googling for reviews for this post, I dug up a lot of other sp mods I dug at one point or another and might be worth your time.
Also, ShackEdit isn't working for me right now.

I got up early this morning (obviously) and loaded up WoW on me shuttle PC. After playing about 10 mins, my PC just shut off.
o_0
I wait a few mins, and then turn it back on. It gets about halfway through POSTing then freezes. I reboot then TAB to see the POST screen - it said something like "New CPU detected. Enter new settings into CMOS and save". So, I rebooted and entered CMOS - nothing to change, so I just hit F10 to save and exit. Hit TAB as it boots. Memtest goes, CPU detected, FREEZE
o_0
I opened the case and re-seated everything that could be re-seated. The thermal connection on the CPU was fine.
Again, I wait a few mins then turn it back on. Gets about 1 second into the POST and freezes. All subesquent attempts to start the PC either involve it freezing at POST, or not even POSTing at all (the fans just run at full speed). No beeps.
Prior to this, the machine has been running w/zero problems/errors.

A friend of mine is in japan at the moment and he said he would pick me up a psp if I wanted one. I'm just worried that it may not work with the us games when they finally come out. Anyone know anything about this?

My opinions have only improved. With my PDA, I had a tendency to leave it behind when I couldn't carry it easily. I don't do that with this, because it's small enough to fit in a pocket. I've installed AIM and MSN messenger (with a combined messaging client called "Verichat") on it, so I have IM capability everywhere. It works great as a phone. I've got it configured to check and send to my gmail account. It surfs the web at ~200k.
The single coolest feature I've used so far is the simple. Google. Having google in your pocket at a moment's notice is incredibly powerful. As an example, some friends and I were sitting in the bar friday night, and a song came on. One of my friends said "Man I like this song, but I can never figure out the name..". So I pulled the treo out, pulled up google, put in a line of lyrics and had the name and artist right there.
I haven't even messed around with the bluetooth stuff yet.
Hey baby, I have the future in my pocket.

Once upon a time, I was actually a closet Kobe fan. But I've had enough. I seriously believe this guy is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the NBA today.
I miss Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen :(

Now as far as fixing stuff goes, healing wounds, bandaging, etc, I'm fucked. But for the planning, navigating + pre-empting a small strike against, maybe 7 or 8 enemies who also had guns, I'd, in all likelyhood, win. Especially if they did not know I was coming.
So who wants to hire me? $500,000 a job. Half up-front, half moved to a bank account in Turkey once I'm finished. Shackmsg.

Once they add this new game mode thats supposedly being worked on, I think this could really become a huge game. Seems like theres lots of possibilities with the combination of weapons.
That AR2 rifle is just as important and useful as the rocket launcher or the magnum. If you can grab yourself all three, and hang out near the hev suit recharge, you can easily take control of the entire map.
But anyway,,, anybody else loving this game?

Ok, next year I'm not playing a fantasy league with individual defense players. Ok, most of my team bombed, but one defense guy scored more points than most defenses would. Jedi started a doubtful QB and I managed my team as well as I could (and they still sucked).
Before you say 'omg whine' a quick look at the free agent tables show there are mabye 4-6 defenseive players who _EVEN SCORE_. The number of actual productive D players is low, and their fortunes vary far more than entire defenses.
In other news, I want you all to bow to my confidence picks this week:

This post lacks a relevant headline but dun remember exactly what I'm looking for. A few months ago someone posted links to creepy sounds from special phonenumbers(?). I think it freaked mr.sleepy out (if not sorry sleepy).
Also think the original thread came fom SA.
Someone help me.
