First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 22, 2005 6:21am PSTLots of votes for this year's GOTYs already. As always I'm surprised by some of the developments, but when it comes to this its good surprises. This will probably be the last year we'll be doing it in this format, next year it should be a bit more intricate and hopefully less people annoyed by games they think are missing. Please make up your mind already scientists. Also on FileShack

Mon petite amie recently registered with the shack out of curiosity and in an effort to better understand some of the things I talk about, such as the {white elephant}y gift exchange.
Her account is:
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?person=nagara
She is still learning the rules, but her attempt at asking everyone's opinion on some fine art prints for a calendar she is making prooved fruitless and occasioned the comment All i wanted to know was the name of a painting or two, but apparently cats and contacts are more important... I told her that was probably true, especially with the cats part.
Anyways, could some of you shackmessage her... anything. It'll proove for some interesting conversation between us later on. Welcome her to the shack, say what a nice place it is or even reccomend [insert sexual toy brand here]. Whatever you do, if you could include a favorite (fine) art work of yours such as The raft of the medusa or the birth of venus (her favorite). If you don't know any, just browse the categories at www.art.com.
Thanks :D
Here are two (obligatory) pictures of her. They are not resized.

I once read and enjoyed Dean Koontz, long ago before I ever read real books, because the first few were scary, but then he became annoying, and although the ideas were good, I couldn't get past the laughable dialogue, the numerous improbable coincidences, and the repeated use of the word "macadam" in every book.
But now, having read twice through the Harry Potter series, and being unable to make it through the Dark Tower series, and having found a couple Koontz novels at the local library "All the books you can stuff in a paper bag for $3" sale, I'm reading them, and they are the literary equivelant of a Steven Seagal movie. Not well done or rememberable but LOADS of action. I hate having to admit that I'm enjoying one of them in spite of my better judgement. I swear I have taste; I am after all a Bradbury fan.
I have to read some tonight because you Australians aren't chatty enough. LOL at the Family Guy where Brian (Peter?) goes "Oh no! I just hit Stephen King!" and the guy lying in the street says "No I'm Dean Koontz" so Brian (Peter?) backs over him.
XOXOX,

Okay, I was up early this morning to get my car checked out at my dealership, I bring my laptop and wait around for a few hours without wireless. I get my car back and drive off, leaving my laptop on, wardriving around for wireless. I find like 20 access points going down a major road, 13 were probably open and unsecured. I pull off on a sidestreet and just break for a minute, pull up laptop and check my email(fucking OCD), check the shack, and access my bank account(I had really just wanted to transfer some money).
I'm not even parked for like 3-4 minutes and a guy from a few houses down the street comes out, walks up to me, and ask me what I'm doing. I reply I was just checking my email very quickly. The guy scowls at me and ask what wireless I was using. I play dumb and reply "I don't know, I just turned on my laptop and it was there." He is staring me down and tells me to never come around here again. I just nod, acknowledge him, and drive off. As I'm leaving, he pulls out his cell phone, and calls the police I'm guessing...
hahahahah dumbass, I was really just checking my email, not h4xoRing his b0x. Although wasn't there the guy in Florida who got arrested for doing the same thing as me? People need to just throw a damn WEP password on their wireless and smarten up.

I'm really baffled at the sheer lack of caring by the xbox customer care team. I had a nice long talk with the guy in charge of one of the call centers tonight, he told me that their is nothing they can do to speed up the process, they don't know how long it will take to get me my xbox back and they don't have anyway of really doing anything about it. The really infuriating part of it all is theres really nothing you can do about it. Who are you going to bitch too when the people who are supposed to listen to you, don't give a rats ass. The sad part is, the screw up is all their fault and their response is "oh well..sucks to be you". I'm sure you all can't relate but dammit, it's really annoying to spend your hard earned money on something and feel like it's been stolen from you, for really no good reason.

The funny thing is that I bet these ribbons are made by a company that also makes the yellow 'SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND GET-R-DONE!!' ribbons. So in the end the only people who win are the car-ribbon-magnet companies who charge $2 (or however much those things cost) for something that cost them around 30 cents to make. I love capatilism (that's not sarcasm, I really do).
I might buy a 'I Don't Support the Invasion But I Think We Should Finish What We Started and Not Screw Iraq Over Even More' ribbon though. They'd probably have to use a smaller font though. It would go right next to my Flying Spaghetti Monster emblem.

Folks, this game is awesome in and of itself, well worth the $65 or $70 or whatever it costs, just for your own enjoyment. There are a lot of hours of excellent gaming fun; more than enough to justify the cost of the special controller. BUT - if there are non-gamers in your life that you wish you could get into gaming a little bit, THIS IS FOR YOU. If you have people over for parties or even just to hang out, and you wish you had more activities than getting drunk and puking or holding back a puker's hair, THIS IS FOR YOU.
Go get a 2nd guitar controller and rock the fuck out. It's a little bit co-op, a little bit competitive head-to-head, and totally fun.
