Since I'm the ONLY one that live in Lake Tahoe, maybe a San Fransisco shackmeet?
I'm sure you've all had one recently, since they finally have a Midwest Shackmeet when I move to Cali, and you guys have already done them recently.

IT'S TOMORROW!!!
Philly/Harrisburg/Reading PA ShackMeet!!!!
http://www.shacknews.com/shackmeet/events.x?id=2318
Tomorrow is the shackmeet at Shocktoberfest ( http://www.shocktoberfest.com/ ) which is run by one of our new Shackers.. ZNelson (he's so ghey).
I will be picking up Mad Brahmin from Philly in the afternoon, then we should all meet at the Shoktoberfest site at 7:00PM or so. If anyone in the Philly area wants to hang out with me and Mad Brahmin before going to Shock, lemme know via ShackMessage or IM. I will probably be picking him up in center city sometime between 3PM and 4PM. Maybe we can meet up an hour or 2 before going to Shock in a restaurant called "Austins" which is not too far from the Shock site.
Few things to note: the ticket costs for shocktoberfest are on this page: http://www.shocktoberfest.com/tickets.html Please note that they don't accept checks or credit cards. In other words, bring cash!

So I worked today.
The building I work in has three doors at the front. It's got Centrelink office entrances to each side of the main lobby. (Centrelink is the Australian Social Security, the dole, welfare payments etc)
Anyways, as I rocked up to work this morning, somebody has thrown Krispy Kremes at the Centrelink offices in a fit of rage. I have no idea why, but the pigeons were going nuts.

Can anyone explain this? The nearest Krispy Kreme is like an hour away. Why this office? Will it offend the office workers there? Will those pigeons live overly obese lives?
In related news, I'm going to hell cos I told some kids across the street there were free donuts at the Centrelink office. olololololo

For the last three days my cable access was suffering from high latency and slow DNS response. Download time was great, but the latency made browsing tough.
This morning, I send an e-mail to local tech support asking if they could take a look.
40 minutes they fixed it .
My mind is boggled.

TechReport is great, I ended up here http://www.techreport.com/reviews/2005q3/ati-crossfire/index.x?pg=4 staring at the picture of the 2 cards mated with the m/b. Fuck, no slots left to empty to do anything else really. wtf?
Then I thought about this image http://www.vr-zone.com/floppyimage/ninja/DSC02533.jpg and pictured having the 2 cards and this h/s all on one board.
Things are certainly getting crazy.

WTF Treyarch!!! Way to fix what wasn't broken.
Swinging is down the shitter, combat is a little bit better but overly simplified, and the city just... well it just sucks balls.
Venom, he's ok.
Story, I'd like to give it a thumbs down, but that's just because I'm an old fashioned spidey fan, I can't go with the Ultimate. (Wolverine vs Venom... are you fucking serious??)
I would have to say, they did a very impressive job with the art though. A++ in that area.
Overall: If you guys make a spiderman 3 game, you better bring back the badass swinging, and if I don't get Bruce Campbell wit, i'm just gonna have to ravage a country side or nine.
