2Well that MTV piece on the Xbox 360 was pretty worthless, but then I can't say I was expecting much else. The piece from OurColony.net was much better. The games are all over the place too. All the racing games look good, but there's plenty of stuff looking very current-gen too. I can't wait for the console though. Movie: There's a dinosaur in our backyard.
SHACKBATTLE Announcement for Sunday, May 15 at 6:00 PM PST (9:00 PM EST)!
We'll be playing BF1942 v1.61 at hirez.themelon.org:14567 - password is in my profile.
We'll also be using Teamspeak. EVERYONE should be on Teamspeak, at least to listen even if you don't have a mic. We'll be connecting to rydogg1's server: 38.113.32.180 - no password required.
Last week we had a very manageable 35-40 people, and the games were great. We've gotten a few BF1942 newbies involved. If you're new to the game and need training or help, I (and several others) will be happy to spend all the time you need walking you through the different classes, weapons, tactics, etc. Just let me know!
We'll be playing Vanilla BF1942 1.61! But the map rotation will also include Shackmaps and the tournament map pack. You can get them at the links below.
All right, here's the batch of useful download links if you don't have them:
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=4501 (BF1942 anything -> 1.6)
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=5928 (BF1942 1.6 -> 1.61)
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=5284 (Shack map pack)
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=6351 (EA Tournament map pack)
http://www.toldyouimhardcore.com/umax/ShackTraining.zip (Shack training map, which will be running before the battle for training purposes)
http://www.goteamspeak.com/ (Teamspeak homepage)
http://www.redhavana.net/teamspeak/ (cpt_gloval's guide to setting up Teamspeak -- a bit out of date, but still useful)
http://www.qbnut.com/tso/ (Teamspeak Overlay, puts the usernames of those who speak onto your screen. Has caused stability issues for a few people in the past)
If you do not download these maps, you will not be able to play them.
I have punkbuster disabled for now because we were having so many issues with it a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks to hirez for the bandwidth.

The wife says some type of error/warning occurred during startup the past week. She can't be more specific.
Just now it restarted. It comes up again and everything's fine, then three minutes later, in game, it restarts. I power it down and set it up with a newer powerstrip and even swapped the cpu powercord with another I had. Now it's restarting/rebooting everytime, sometimes during startup, sometimes just a minute or two after things get settled. I took the side off, thinking it might be overheating.
I used a different wall plug now, thinking the new apartment wiring might be shaky. A few more restarts and now it won't even post. The fans whir and the lights come on but nothing comes to the monitor. I don't have a mobo speaker so I can't hear if it's beeping.
Any help here would be great guys. I can only guess that either the mobo/cpu/ram are fried? Or could the PSU be on the fritz? Any ideas? Shit, I really don't have cash for a second mobo/cpu/mem combo :(

I have a MASSIVE game collection, probably around 250 games..mostly from 2000 and up, still with original boxes, cases, cds, everything.
I'm talking from SW battlefront, to BF vietnam, Planetside, Mohaa + all expansions, ect. To be quite honest it's taking up lots of space and really just collecting dust. I play like 2-3 games total atm (waiting on BF2!) and was wondering if I could sell a huge collection like that on Ebay or something similar.
a big portion of the 250 games has to do with owning every single mmorpg ever released x 2 (except for anarchy online + expansions and EVE) due to the girlfriend getting accounts with me ect. (omg we met on eq 5 years ago , h ow pathetic is that? been living together for 4 years ever since)
anyways. should I just start getting 'the list' together and see what happens? or use shackifieds with mini-bundles?
just curious!
* UPDATE *
A couple minor changes, but I think they're worthwhile:
* Fixed the filtering so it only picks up whole words. 'emo' will no longer be picked up in the middle of a word like 'demonstrate'.
* Added an option to remove all filtered words from your list in one fell swoop. Look in Tools->User Script Commands... for that option.
* Added confirmation dialog that pops up when you click on a word in the filter list.

Saw this on Fark. Does this dumbass have any idea how in-vitro fertilization works? You have to fertilize multiple eggs in order to make sure you get at least one viable one that can be implanted.

I am looking for an online music store that sales the downloadable version of http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00049QM6S/002-6607742-8700855?v=glance this in mp3 or ogg form. I'd prefer one that doesn't require me to download some external program. Audio-lunchbox doesn't have it, and I don't know of any others. :(

Its very exciting to see that MS is really going out of their way to make sure developing for the 360 will go as smoothly as it possibly can.

The Lightsynth comes of age...
Neon is Llamasoft's latest and most breathtaking light synthesiser. Capable of generating anything from soothing ambient swirls to strobing multicolour explosions, it's infinitely configurable thanks to its modular nature, and always stunning to look at.
Neon can run purely off audio input or from up to four joypads, each controlling a different display element with incredible ease and precision and generating hypnotic, multi-layered end results that are way ahead of every other piece of audio visualisation software available.
A version of Neon comes built into Microsoft's Xbox 360, on sale toward the end of the year.

My STi has great acceleration, as fast as almost any S car, but the handling fucking blows. Even with judicious tweaks the understeer is horrendous, and the braking could be better.
Then I drive an A3 Modena, and it's a dream. I'm powersliding and maintaining control.
