First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 30, 2005 10:09am PSTSo I recently rebooted my system and much to my surprise the text related slowdowns in Firefox that I experienced a few days ago didn't go away. Switching between tabs isn't slow anymore, but doing certain text selecting/deleting related operations still are. Makes me a sad panda. Based on the recommendation by dognose I recently checked out Ginger Snaps and the sequel Ginger Snaps: Unleashed. Both are very enjoyable horror movies, without the usual 'look at me i'm a clever movie' jokes or gratuitous nudity. It's sad to see it's being ripped off already, or at least it sure seems that way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you a fabulous independent game:
Jets 'n' Guns
http://jng.rakeingrass.com/index.php
This is a sidescrolling shooter that reminds me quite a bit of the old shareware game Raptor: Call Of The Shadows. It has the same "earn cash to buy upgrades" mechanic, the same occasional touches of humor, the same focus on varied enemies in waves instead of giant bosses or bullet patterns.
It is awesome. Download the demo RIGHT NOW. Only 19 MB.

The graphics are decent, the soundtrack is by Machinae Supremacy (a very cool 80s + retro amiga .mod sort of band), and it was so good that I BOUGHT THE FULL THING YESTERDAY. After playting the demo for an our, I was convinced, and I bought the game. $19.95 for instant download or $24.95 for instant download + they ship you a CD in the mail.
TLDR: Cool shooter game, go download demo, it is worth it.

Assuming you had the option to subscribe to a small shacknews service that was really cheap, like 2 or 3 dollars a month or something, and it had no ads, had a very safe for work interface, and some extra stuff on the homepage like a shackbattles feed, a shackmeets feed or things like that, what else might you think would be a nice feature to have?
Keep in mind if it has anything to do with the comments it won't happen. No service outside of the little mercury lighting bolt will get you anything special in the comments. Would cause too much of a drama. So as fun as i tis to come up with a million ideas for that, don't make it part of this conversation. Just assume a special edition of shack for regulars/loyalists/the hardcore was going to be made.

Me: "What the fuck did you do."
Him: "I got WoW."

I might have to jump on this bandwagon. :[

I like it a lot now that I get into it. Now I will at least *consider* playing it actively after it gets released in Europe.
Also, the GCR are now alive and active in the horde on server 10 english pvp, our first day was successful and I killed a member of the alliance that was around my level and then an alliance member level 50+ killed me in a single hit. Great fun!
Just strange that so many alliance members chose to hang out in level 0-5 encampments and kill NPCs all day long.
