Late Night Consoling

I ordered another controller for Guitar Hero today. Can't wait to play Multiplayer with the woman. She LOVES the game. It's pretty amazing.

A total must buy if you don't have it yet. GOTY for sure. Even beats out RE4.

I want 360 less each day.....really, and that's weird for me.

Ok guys, I rang up my local Game store and asked about my order for the 360. I was really nervous as to whether or not they actually covered my order, and they have. The funny thing is, is that they actually covered every order they got. Which is a lot of people because when i saw the order book for the 360 it was almost full. And i thought maybe they had taken more orders than they could. But thats not a problem, my real problem is what game to actually buy with it, as im really really short on money.

I have been thinking about two titles in particular, one being COD2 and the other Perfect Dark Zero (I really only want a FPS for the moment, PGR3 will be next :D). I've played both at the xbox world tour, but i want to know which game will have the most replayability out of the two. I know PDZ has 32 player multiplayer and i really did like the multiplayer on system link. But i really really like Call Of Duty 2. I just wanted to know what game is actually better in the long run. So shackers.. Anyone own both games and care to tell me which one is the best?

I've goofed with the dev kits quite a bit, but I must say I'm still impressed with the 360.

Tonight I played (back to back):

Kameo
Bejeweled 2 (Live Arcade)
Billiards (Live Arcade)
Halo 1 Single Player
Fable Lost Chapters.

Everything about it is just really refined and my experience has been un-interrupted by irritations. I love it!!

Troll much, Sony employee?

First time I read it I thought it said locked yourself in the car, that would of been funnier ... and warmer.

About the 360 shortage in the US.
I generally like the Major Nelson pod cast however the last one was very annoying. It sounds like Major Nelson is channeling the Iraq Information Minister.

1. He said that shortages are just a rumor. He went on and suggested that this "rumor" was actually Sony employees spreading lies on forums. Didn't know that Sony owned Walmart, Target, EB, Gamestop..etc
2. He said that its not true that you will not be able to find a 360 before Christmas and it will take till March to get a 360 because Microsoft is commited to shipping 3 million units in the first 90 days. Ah, Christmas at the time of his pod cast was 26 days away and 90 puts us 6 days before March.
3. If you have a broken 360, you really should play some 360 games on line before logging onto the Xbox live forums to get some "creds." If you have a broken 360, exactly how are you going to play it online?

It sounded like he wasn't prepaired for his podcast so maybe he didn't think about what he was saying and how it sounded so damn goofy.

I locked my keys in my car during my first week of driving. Funniest part? My mom and I were joking that very day that only a complete moron locks his keys in the car.

Second funniest part?

I broke into the car in about three minutes with a coat hanger.

RED Nintendo DS with Mario Kart came out today.
I thought it would be posted on LNC, but I dont see it.

$149.99 for those intrested. (I got mine today.)

lol.. That launch title lineup for the 360 in Japan is seriously weak. I bet Microsoft will be all "oh, the 360 didn't sell so well in Japan, but we assume they just hate us" in a few weeks.

The great Xbox 360 hunt comes to a close again today. I went to every Target, CostCo, and Best Buy between San Jose and San Francisco this afternoon, and got no love at all.

I guess I'm going to make the trek to the east bay tomorrow. I hear they have Kmarts and Walmarts over there.

fuck yeah!!!! My parents gave me there old projector today!! I cant wait too get back too my apartment and find a place too set it up

Shack, I call tee for help!!!

A cousin in Mexico just demanded a laptop for her studies and my parents, along with my aunt and uncle, will pich in for the laptop. The price range is $1,00-1,300. She will mostly be doing is homework, internet and maybe some games. Links and price, along with some spec.

The internet has made the job application process accessible in a number of ways, but the rate at which employers get swamped with resumes makes it im-friggin-possible to actually get anything.

Its bloody hard gettin anywhere without contacts, and these days without experience shit is hopeless. Thing is, how the hell is someone supposed to get experience if all the entry level jobs are beng worked on in india/china/mexico.
Ubisoft, Gameloft, all outsource their QA. Even 'Family Guy' outsources their animation to china. Only the key frames are worked on in the USA.

Shit is getting out of hand.

btw - if anyone knows of any gaming company jobs/internships for positions like QA tester or concept artist, in New York city. please let me know.
if you work at any potential companies, and would like to help a fellow shacker, i would be forever in debt (and ill send you a white elephant).

OK I bought this - ZALMAN VF700-CU 2 Ball VGA COOLER

Now I don't feel so bad Mr.360.

Wow, Japan gets Tetris as a 360 launch title? I'm so jealous. If that doesn't win the hearts and minds of Japanese gamers nothing will.

Hm, Wifi Animal Corssing sounds pretty limited. No chatlog even? Also all the animals have to stay inside when you visit another persons town. You can go into their houses and talk to them, but this makes some hollidays like the fishing tourney restricted to single player. I guess you could still have player sponsored fishing tourneys...So it's mostly just for hanging out and trading items and designs I guess (you can still fish, run errands, and hunt bugs and fossils).

Nintendo has a lot to learn when it comes to on-line. They should hire some people who know what the fuck in that regard.

A new version of snesDS was released on the 11/27, and there are quite a few enhancements.

I don't know what shack policy is on discussion homebrew like this, but I will say I tried FF2 US (which I own), and it worked, full speed, full sound.

Mario & Luigi for the DS = \m/

Man, that's why you need the keyless entry. I've got the first version of it on my old rusted out 1980 Sable and let me tell you, I use that shit three times a day, at least.

Ninja Combat + Pocket full of quaters = Me starving at lunchtime

keep an extra key in your wallet

No, guys, seriously, LOL X BOX HUGE.

I, too, locked myself out of my car today. I was sleep deprived and rushing and forgetting stuff all morning and then that, it worked out perfect though for reasons that would take too long to explain. No wait for me!

I bet those two hours were a memorable experience though. You felt something, didn't you. It could almost be called art. Authorial control?

equipped with 65" screens hooked up to (smaller) Xbox 360 demo units.

You so crazy

My Dad locked himself out of his car today in New Orleans and since no one there could get it open, my mother had to drive all the way to unlock it. She is still pissed.
