First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 22, 2005 4:44am PSTWell, I've finished the Act of War campaign, and I'm kind of sad it's over. Not a terribly lengthy game (about 12 hours I suppose), but then again, long lasting games just seem to be a thing of the past. Just gotta live with that I guess. The bugs in the last level went beyond the inaccurate mission objective, but I was able to finish it without replaying it for a second time. Not sure what happened..well..I guess I do, they ran out of time for proper testing, but it's pretty weird as there are zero other issues in the game. I'm not even sure this bug will happen for everyone. All in all though I pretty much agree with this GameSpot review. Also on FileShack

WTB reasonable heatsink+fan for an Athlon 64 939. Might be lightly overclocking for fun, but I don't expect much. Getting Winchester core most likely, for which Newegg lacks a retail package, so stock HSF is probably not an option.

The tournament officially begins tomorrow; If you fight your opponent now, and you win, it won't count. Shackmsg your opponent and set up a time to fight TOMORROW. Fight 3 matches max. Winner of 2 matches wins.
Winners: send me a shackmessage with the title: 'I WON AGAINST ________" and you will be advanced. If you do not do this you will not advance.... and try not to post about your victory in the messages. Once I get all the winners from the first set of fights, I will post them in ER and you can be all like "oh ahaha i fucking killed that faggot lol heh"
If your opponent doesn't respond to you via shackmsg by the time Evening Reading is posted on thursday, then they forfeit. If two people don't fight then you both forfeit and you are stupid. You can change characters between matches. If your connection fucks up, and causes you to lose, you can ask your opponent for a re-match. If they deny you a re-match, your loss stands.
for the love of god, shackmsg your opponent and set up a time to fight tomorrow so that these first rounds do not stretch into forever

I wanted a cool desktop of the logo from NBA Hangtime, but all images I found online sucked. The best I found was this:

So, I took the time to fashion a new one:

No longer do I have to guess which driver letter my digital camera will appear as; I can just access it through \dev\Camera! The same for my teeny tiny USB drive. Should make life easier.
This also led me to write a program that copies all pictures off of it into an automatically generated directory so I can just plug it in, run the program, unplug it. No more explorer windows or clicking and dragging, yay. I call the program Camera Gank, hyuck hyuck! If I could get it to respond to "device inserted" notifications that would be teh sweet, but a desktop icon will be fine.
Now to make this a real post; XP Pro is what, like $300? Have there been any conjectures to the MSRP of XP64?

Heres the deal...
Me = 22 Sham
2 Friends = 24/25 Mages
Plan...
-They are both going to respec in order to get "Arcane explosion" to an instant cast (15 points in the Arcane tree)
-We are going to aggro what we figure up to 8 melee mobs
-They are going to spam arcane explosion (57-67 damage a blast EACH)
-I am going to heal and prevent the wipe.
-They have about 1700 Mana each, arcane explosion = 120 usage = 14 or so casts
-Damage combined if needed to use all the mana bar = 120 damage (combined) x 14 = 1680 damage to the surrounding Mob
-8 Mobs = 420-480 exp a piece
Shack, please tell me my flaws with this... In the end, it seems rather efficient.
(known cons)
gathering the mob
runners
ranged enimies
death?
In the end, we both have level 35-40 alts, but we like the charecters that we are rolling now, and we just want to get back to 40 asap.

Well, after going through the suggestions from yesterday's thread:
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=9747613
I went ahead and installed the Morrowind Game of the Year Edition. I followed some of the suggestions in the thread by Ebu, megarust32 and others un regards to gameplay and plugins. I was somewhat conservative in my addition of plugins due to all the warnings about how it can snafu your game if you haphazardly throw stuff in. Final verdict:
WOW! It simply made me want to download more plugins (a texture pack among others) and really dive into this game.
I found on the Morrowind Forums a link to a site that provides limited (1 addition person) multiplayer. It looks like it would work. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

Wirehog is apparently the new thing. The GMail of peer-to-peer file transfer services! No bulky client to install, just a tiny taskbar tray thingy and it works through your web browser. You tell it which folders to share, it shares em. Grab your own crap when you're not at home, or grab porn, pictures, music, from your friends. Whatever!
There are a buttload of goons in on this application, as well as many Shackers already. Check it: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=9753281
Install the application, then go to Add Friends, and start typin' in e-mails from the post above separated with a comma, they approve, voila. You have instant friends!
Here's your warning though: Wirehog is just that: a bandwidth hog IF YOU LET IT. So if you share something extremely rare and popular, just like any other p2p system, your bandwidth will never get a respite. I'm not saying don't share good shit, just be forewarned.
Catch is, you have to be invited. Anyone can invite their friends, and everyone has unlimited invites. SO:
Start posting your e-mails and someone will invite you.
there's no reason to use that penis AT vagina DOT com shit. you're all on freaking gmail anyway, and that stops spam in its tracks. pansies.

Also if my TV is 720P native, should i set my cable box to 720P or 1080i (its capable of both). I just noticed that its LESS cutoff when the cable box is set to 1080i ... is this TV a dud? Everything else looks great, but Im worried i missing stuff if the action safe is cutoff :/

Gotta say that I really like that song Hand that Feeds. Even bought it with a Pepsi iTunes cap. Unfortunately, that probably means that the Shack Collective® will hate it because it's too "pop".
