1) Its worth the time, surely there will be plenty.
2) If it's a good idea to pre order something you don't know what the price is. The common consensus is it's going to be 299$,Which I'm prepared to pay for, but if its more than that, I will have to wait until it comes down. If I preordered and it's more than that, can ya get your money back?
3) Which would be better, EB or Gamestop? I guess since Gamestop has bought EB out, I'm gonna guess Gamestop, but I've never really dealt with them outside of buying a preowned game or 2. I mostly go to EB, but lately they just aggravate the shit outta me when I go in there,So I don't buy from them as much as I used to.

The standards (UT2k4, CS:S) won't last the entire time, and people who suck complain about the skill indifference between them and the good players. What are some good games?
We did Dawn of War quite a bit at the last LAN, and we're kind of on track to do the same, though people might be getting a bit tired of it.
P.S. Anybody in the King County/Federal Way/Seattle area want to show up?

Responsiveness is key.
In recent programs like BF2, G3 Torrent, ANYTHING written in JAVA, Nextel Cell Phones, Azureus, etc, developers seem to think responsiveness and the lack of interface flashing is not important.
Yes, we notice the 100ms lag time before the redraw. It's irritating as hell. Do what it takes to get rid of it.
I cannot abide Azureus and lots of programs written in languages higher than CPP because of this problem. And someone told me the BF2 Menu is written in FLASH?!? FLASH!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE FLYING FUCK DICE!!
Menus should respond the instant you click with almost no delay.

We'll be doing things a bit differently this time. Those of us who want to use Teamspeak in combination with the game's voicecomm will go to banhammer.shackbattles.com. We're going to try this out on the smaller server first.
Those of you who want to play without Teamspeak will go to bf2.shackbattles.com.
You can check the status of the servers here: http://www.shackbattles.com/servermonitor/
Passwords are in the usual places.
Have questions about the game, or tips to share with others? Use the Battlefield 2 Shack Wiki: http://www.shackbattles.com/wiki/index.php/Battlefield_2
I'd also like to try using Teamspeak for this official, organized Shackbattle. Teamspeak can be downloaded here:
http://www.goteamspeak.com/downloads.php
Unfortunately, Teamspeak Overlay does not work with BF2 yet, although the author has a fix for it which will be incorporated in the next version. Until then, use a second monitor for TS if you have one.
Why use Teamspeak? There is one gap in voice communication in BF2, and that's between people who aren't in the same squad. Need to warn a teammate quickly, but he's not in your squad? Need to tell someone who jumped into your vehicle that he needs to get out so that a squad mate can get in? No problem. Bind a free button to "Press to talk" (perhaps an unused mouse button). Rydogg1 has set up the appropriate channels on his TS server: ra.gotdns.org
(The channels are "US" and "Commie Bastards/MEC".)
Don't forget that you can mute troublemakers. I know a lot of you are going to whine and complain about this. My first response is "Shut up and try it". My second response is to suggest that people who are willing to use Teamspeak join banhammer.shackbattles.com, and people who are not join bf2.shackbattles.com (Obviously people using Teamspeak have to be playing on the same server or confusion will result). We can compare notes after the Shackbattle. AND GODDAMMIT DON'T REPLY TO THIS SAYING HOW TS SUCKS AND WE'RE STUPID FOR USING IT AND WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GAME AND SOME OTHER CRAP. Your arguments have been refuted already. Just shut up and play on the server without Teamspeak.

"The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is
catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest
approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars
may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's
gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000
years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within
34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest
object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will
appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be
easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at
10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at
nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's
pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in
recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see
Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.

I installed outlook xp and attempted the extremely complex operation of connecting to my pop/smtp servers. Apparently the exact same settings I use for outlook express (which is iterally working in the background), arnt good enough for outlook xp. So instead of staring at the 4 required setup fields which are absolutely correct and wondering wtf is wrong with you piece of shit, i figured id just say, hay guys, whats a good alternative to outlook?
