Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 22, 2005 5:30pm PDTSo it looks like our latest national scandal has been solved. That lady claiming she found part of a finger in her chili done got arrested. The whole thing seemed a little far fetched. I woulda gone for something like a toe. I can get you a toe. What is it like 7.30? Just wait here.

im probalby just seeing things, but if you zoom in on the close up pic of the cpu, i swear to god it says 'k5-iii'
now im probably of like 20 people in the world who care, but amd k5's look nothing like that, there was no k5-iii, and the k5's topped out at like 117mhz.
i zoomed in and upped the contrast on that pic, but i didnt edit it otherwise:

What's the going price for it? I'm pretty much prepared to pay anything under $100 for a complete copy in really good condition (though I can deal with a cracked case here or there; those are easy to swap out).

SHACKBATTLE Announcement for Sunday, 4-24-05!
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=5284
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 will be getting the final map rotation together tomorrow.
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!
For those of you that are interested in training UMax was kind enough to send me a good link for his training map:
http://www.toldyouimhardcore.com/umax/ShackTraining.zip
just unzip it to your '42 dir in:
<42_dir>\Mods\bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels
F2 F2!

They gave out free "samples" of 'Weldebräu' beer today... 0.5 liter samples. And they didn't only have one stand, it seems like there was one behind every corner.
Drinking + Shopping is something else... but I have a feeling this day won't end on a nice note for them.

The only cons I can think of so far is the overpowered "Heavyweight" players. They have insane amounts of health and as far as I can tell, middle or lightweight characters stand no chance against them. I just played w/ boomstickah over xbox live for a good 2 hours with no connection problems. Ran smooth. Smooth framerate, etc.
The levels look fucking awesome.
The action is SICK. Perfect blend of melee combat with swords and bats and fists and guns. They got it right. It's very fun.
Raiden from Mortal Kombat is an unlockable character which is also bad ass. You can have the announcer also either be the standard UT annnouncer, or the announcer from Mortal Kombat (John Tobias). Pretty sick game. I reccomend it to anyone who likes shooting or fighting games.
