I have uploaded all of them to my Shackspace so that there is a free, fast, central repository of all the available Q4 qcon videos. If you have any that you don't see here, please let me know! I want to see them.
Quake 4 Videos
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/nail_gun_jumping.avi - citizen from team abuse strafe jumping, ramp jumping, and attempting to nailgun jump.
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/portal_firing.avi - citizen again (I believe) showing off some portal firing. It appears as though projectiles that go through the portal retain their firing angle and don't just come out straight.
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/q4_ctf_qcon_1.avi - Quick CTF footage. Not very exciting, the person playing obviously doesn't know how to strafe jump or do anything but walk
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/q4_ctf_qcon_2.avi - More CTF of the same person. See some lightning gun firing and you get to see the flag. Yay!
http://dko5.shackspaec.com/q4/q4_q4qcon_1.wmv - Clipped together footage showing some action, including the railgun!
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/Quake4_cycle1.wmv - Someone running around by themselves. Nothing impressive shown.
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/Quake4_Footage2.wmv - Ditto
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/quake4Multi-divx.avi - SHACKNEWS EXCLUSIVE QUAKE 4 FOOTAGE. Thanks to huds0n and mr.sleepy for this. Good gameplay footage.
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/ramp_jump.wmv - Woo! Trickjumping!
http://dko5.shackspace.com/q4/fat_1.avi - fatal1ty playing against some noobs, great footage of the lightning gun. This video is still uploading, and its a monster so you may want to wait a bit.
ENJOY!

Who were the Shackers that were at the sports bar eating at around 2:00ish on Friday???
I saw Mr. Sleepy and Maarten for sure.
I didn't introduce myself, I just lurked. We were the couple that sat down right when all of you were starting to pay. I was wearing a light blue shirt and my wife is Native American Indian with large breasts.

I gratuated High School with this guy. The story I saw on TV made no mention of a bottle getting thrown through his window, and also didn't say he fired warning shots and the crowd got hit because of ricochet. Unreal.

Ok, I'm looking for talented people who would be willing to join with me to make an Aliens-inspired Half-Life 2 multiplayer modification.
Think slow paced gameplay with a small squad of marines sent in to explore various loactions for alien scum. I have a big feature list, but I'm not too willing to just share this on the net as I've really put a lot of work into it. The basic idea is a team of aliens who can walk on walls and roofs, dark levels, and a tea of marines. Marines only respawn on a new round whereas the aliens respawn mid round like in DOD. Marines however have a big advantage of better armour and firepower. Aliens win when they have killed all the marines. Marines win when they have destroyed the Alien's nest. Sure its similar to NS and Monolith's AVP, but those both lacked atmosphere. That's going to be a key point for this mod.
So basically, if that was enough to get you excited then you're the kind of person I'm looking for. Shackmessage me and I'll tell you the full feature list.
Postions Available:
Coders
Modellers
Level designers
I'm extremely serious and passionate about this and will get something released one way or another.

How much power does a standard PC use (monitor off)? The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of installing 2003 server on my spare PC and putting in a big HDD for all my media files, and then sharing them out from there for my PC and XBOXes. The only thing I'm worried about is the cost of leaving it on all the time. I also need to learn 2003 for work as well, so that's the reasoning behind that.
I have a problem where I cannot turn east in the searing gorge. when I turn east the screen freezes, and after about 5 seconds some window about VPU recovery pops up, telling me the card wasn't responding anymore and needed to be reset.
the wow.de site isn't loading at all at this time. I got the the forums with a bookmark, but cannot log in or create a new thread or reply to a thread. the support form is not reachable either because, as I said, the entire site is down.
all those thorium brotherhood quests are really fun when you cannot turn east...

Since then, I've spoken to her. I'm meeting her Thursday. And she's probably coming over to my place.
Does anyone know a good:
TV I can buy for 2-300 bucks?
Good but cheap DVD player?
Good but cheap receiver?
Oh, do they make a cover for the 19" telco server rack I have in my bedroom behind the 3 computer monitors? That would be fantastic.
One slightly emo question: I'm 6'1", 210lbs. Not huge but not tiny either. What's a good answer to the question: "Are you thin?" I think I failed that question horribly :)

That place was the shit back in the day for just finding some random shareware/freeware game with a cool/interesting name and checking it out.
And cdrom.com. What happened with that? That was the place to go for practically anything back in the day, and then it wasn't. What's the deal?

Following last night post, I'm almost there! I figured out how to parse specific parts of a webpage I needed (regexes are fun. Except not very intuitive). I opened a new window with Javascript, and I need to fill a form on the resulting window with the parsed data. I'm doing :
mywindow.document.entry_form.title.value = '$title';
But it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Google is not very helpful (althought it helped me the whole night!)

Stupid POS microwave needs to be fixed for the second time. Stupid thing isn't even 3 years old. Our old counter top microwave lasted for many years with no problems. Now I need a new motor that runs the turntable and It's a small motor, maybe 4 inches accross. Looking at the thing, I figured it would cost like $40 to $50. Sears appliance repair place next door can order the part for $130 + shipping, which is $15. O_O $15 for shipping a small motor that weighs like half a pound?!?!?! Amazing. Found it online for $116 + $5 shipping.

My favorite keyboard right now is the Apple one. Hitting the keys is just so fucking smooth.
My requirements are:
1. "Soft" keys. When you hit the keys, you can barely hear them. Unlike my logitech, which has the loudest damn keys available.
2. has to be black, or mostly black. Has to go with my decor.
So does anyone have an awesome keyboard they'd recommend?
