First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, May 28, 2005 4:47am PDTOk, yesterday was my fault :( I'm not all that great at Lumines (51k is my high score so far), but I sure am addicted to it. Probably spending about an hour and a half on it daily. When not syncing up colored blocks I've been playing more of Ridge Racer. As a first gen game it already looks so good, I can't wait to see what developers will get out of the PSP once they really know it inside out. Also on FileShack

Come and honor our fallen brothers on this Memorial Day weekend by BLOWING SHIT UP!!
We'll be playing BF1942 v1.61 at bf1942.shackbattles.com: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: ts.shackbattles.com - 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:

I absolutely have no idea about laptops. Any suggestions on good brands? Any thoughts on these two? This girl is a noob and pretty much will use it for simple things like IM, E-mail, School, playing mp3s, etc.

This is all eoropean but it should work here in the states. Once you d/l and install everything (its huge) Log in and create a Terran Republic character on Markov. While in game send a tell to hardshelltaco (me) to alert me like this
/tell hardshelltaco hey taco/lowayne add me to the list for GCR!
I will be on tonight some and tomorrow on and off until the evening when I will be looking for all of you. We need 10 people to form an outfit, so don't join another one if you don't get an immediate invite from me. Send me tell or shackmessage to get my contact info or a key.
I will be on at 7:30 EST (4:30PST) for a decent chunk of time so we can plan on starting GCR at that point - however I will be on throughout the day.
There is also a trial key you can get here…
http://cmt.ubisoft.fr/planetside_pcgamer/
and an installer for the launchpad which will download all of the game you need!

Here is a great FAQ about the trial and installer for you to use if you have any questions

had a really crappy stratholme run, after nerub'enkan one of our warriors caused a wipe because he "didn't see the mages stand there", shaman (no priest available) used soulstone mid-fight, we all had to run back from the cemetery... anyway, anastari dropped http://thottbot.com/?i=37237& and I, being a warlock, the party's only warlock, filled the cup and ordered a bucket for when I actually get it.
roll a 42 and... the warrior rolls 43. at first I simply inquire about how many shadow spells he has, because I come up with 12, expecting him to drop to his knees and beg for forgiveness. he doesn't say a thing. half of the party yells at him for rolling on a warlock item. he doesn't say a thing. we all yell at him some more. he says "whatever, let's move on" and starts to pull the next group of ghouls.
everybody but me forgets about it and I complain some more. I give him ten minutes of time to say sorry, but he doesn't. I eventually ignore him (to mark him as "do not party with") and shortly thereafter he notices I ignored him because he wanted to open a trade window for a healthstone, proceeds to complain about being ignored in the raid chat (which I can see thanks to my gf sitting right next to me).
not the first time something like that happened, but the most recent event and with a few exacerbating factors. what is wrong with those people? can you justify his actions? has it happened to you? did you do something like that? are you a GM and have the power to take it away from him?
