First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 22, 2005 5:02am PDTFinally, Jade Empire in Dutch stores. I'll be driving to the store as soon as I posted this. So GameSpot had a look at the upcoming Madden commercial and surprise, there's no in-game footage! Instead what we're seeing is a '"target video" of what next generation hardware will be capable of', with EA saying the actual end product should be superior. Hopefully the MTV broadcast will show us some actual Xbox 360 game footage and not CG crap. Also on FileShack
- Eve of Destruction 0.41 - new Battlefield 1942 release. includes new maps, vehicles and more.

New Zone of the Enders project underway
Carmageddon ploughing into GOG
Harry Potter for Kinect announced
Mad Riders trailer goes heavy on the meta
Anarchy Reigns finished, delayed by Sega anyway
Unreal (The first original one): Towards the beginning of the game, the scene where you finally leave the spacecraft (or whatever it was) and walk into this huge open green area. A very mellow background music accomponaies the scene. And if i remember correctly, there was this beautifully done waterfall.
Half Life 2: The entire bridge level. Masterfully done. The sound of wind, the feeling of high altitude, the scene of the world from high above.
Far Cry: Sneaking in the jungle and all of a sudden coming face to face with a mercenary. It is a matter of who pulls the trigger first at that point.

It finally happened! I upgraded my Alienware P4/ 2.2ghz with 512mb Rambus memory, 128mb Geforce 5200 agp x4, and 21" hitachi superscan pro monitor to a new system!
Got this new system in last night - Dell XPS Gen4; P4 3.8ghz with 1066FSB, 2gb DDR2 Ram, 256mb ATI Pro XE (pci express), and a 24" Widescreen FP monitor....
Holy hell it is the jizz! Got Doom3 on Widescreen 1920x1200 resolution max details... I had to change my underware twice last night! Love it!
Can't wait to finally play some damn games like HL2 and Doom3 and all the new stuff coming out!!!
Yeah it sucks having to wait SOOO long to upgrade... and play these "already old" games... but a divorce will kick you in the nuts my fellow Shackers...
I would post a pic but I spent all my $ on a new system and don't have a digital camera! DOH!
Any shackers possibly interested in a perfectly good Alienware system or Hitachi Pro 21" monitor for sale? Msg me...
Now to try and copy all my PR0n from the old system to this new one... ;)

Have you heard the one about the Environmental Protection Agency wanting more sewage dumped in America's waterways? Unfortunately, this is no joke.
Interesting article. Co-worker showed me this site today. Did some rooting around there. Good stuff.

PROTIP: If you're exchanging your PSP, make sure you try to get one without Spiderman 2 in it. You're more likely to get a newer, second-run PSP. Honestly, the build quality on my new one in comparison to the old one is night and day.
Back to Lumines. I've almost broken 100k, it's so damn fun!

The Trinitron (a Dell P99) has vastly better color and contrast than the Viewsonic E70f. The Viewsonic looks dreary and dingy by comparison, even when calibrated correctly.
So, um, yeah. Trinitron CRTs > other CRTs. By a lot.

SUPER SPECIAL-O-BONUS: If you don't have BF1942 for some reason, you can buy it plus two other games for only $7.99 + shipping!!! That's right, three games for eight bucks, and you can Shackbattle with up to 64 other Shackers, EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT! See here:
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/245630.asp?siteID=FKSJxY2VJAk-ZquTlt6Dp1Lf5XjL%2AzBn%2Fw
Also Zero|DPX and I (although I'm sure you will learn more from him) continue to extend the offer to train anyone who asks on the Shack training map so you can learn how to play, if you're scared of just buying the game and jumping in with us! This is how I learned to play last summer, and it was very helpful and very worth it! Just Shackmessage us. Hopefully the tank master UMax will be able to join us for this.
Anyway, on to the battle details:
We'll be playing on hirez & themelon's 64-player server, hirez.themelon.org:14567 , from 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) until whenever we quit!
Please sign up here:
http://www.shackbattles.net/battles/view.php?battle_id=347
The map rotation will also include Shackmaps and the tournament map pack:

http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=6351
If you do not download these maps, you will not be able to play them.
Punkbuster is disabled for now because we were having so many issues with it a couple of weeks ago.
We had a peak of 43 players last Sunday and there was never a server-side slowdown. Let's try to get as close as we can to 64 people this week!
F2 F2!

Hmmm.
This calls for CS:S and 1942 !!!!!!!!!!!!111
and enemy territory and BF:V, but I know those aren't "cool" anymore
Will there be a Shack Halo 2 battle?
Apparently they refuse to transfer my character from a PvP realm to a PvE realm.
The reason I asked is because of the recent PvP patch and the so called "honor" system that has ppl ganking left right and center. I cant even quest! I only joined a PvP server to be with my workmates... not so I could get ganked all day and not be able to do any of my regular gaming.
My only option is to create a new character on the PvE realm. And they wont even give him XP or Rested time!
Fuck you Blizzard.

In the level where you get to kill Shetland, right before the boiler room where you have to disarm the bombs, there are three thugs guarding the entrance...
The method I used to get rid of them was to toss a bunch of smoke grenades into the room (I guess they obscure thermal vision), then dash in at close range to shank them all with the knife! Those fuckers didn't even fire a shot before they were lying in pools of their own blood, their lives ebbing away!
