This morning I was shaving in the shower as I have done for nearly 15 years, and I proceeded to almost take off the tip of my upper lip.
Shaving above my top lip with the MOST Powerfull 5 Razors ever created I prodeccced to make to long of a motion and went below my upper lip and on the up stroke I stuck the "Trimming Edge" directly into the undebelly of my upper lip. The Razor embedded itself into the soft fleshy mass and when I removed the razors edge I began to spew blood like a stuck pig.
The part of my upper lip that remains hidden when one closes the mouth may never be the same.
2 hours later I am still bleeding big time, I can not believe that I am going to need stiches from a freaking shaving accident.

As part of a Sony sponsored event*, there's a pretty in-depth interview with Fumito Ueda, mastermind behind ICO and SotC. This one's more relevant to people in and interested in the industry (and people interested in awesome), and, though I just did another interview translation, I couldn't resist. Hope someone finds it interesting.
In reply!
Also, for reference, the previous, largely unnoticed, but now informative (thanks!) DICE interview:

*This event, "Game Yarouze!" is a competition of sorts to find unique and creative game concepts from a field of applicants, and then turn them into actual games. Several games made from these concepts have gone on to become "million sellers." This interview with Ueda is one of, presumably, a series of interviews with the game creators meant to inspire and give insight to game industry hopefuls.

Our 'set' will be basically just a canvas with a company logo, a person in front of it. Im nto sure what color the canvas will be.
I still dont know what the hell to do about lighting. Can anyone give me a pretty exact suggestion? IT will be indoor, most likely some sort of blue'ish backdrop. It will be a person, a stool, and perhaps a few other misc things, but nothing huge. None of us know much about lighting and we need a pretty good general lighting setup.
Someone recommended a 'softbox' or an 'arri' but I looked at BHphotovideo.com and am totally lost. I looked at the softboxes and dont even know where they go, are they just things to diffuse the light that go on a lightstand you already have? Could anyone PLEASE link me with anything that might be good for us at bhphotovideo.com, im totally lost here and got stuck with this shitty job :P

So I finally sucked it up and took a sick day (feeling worse today than I did yesterday), and I'm gonna make a pharmacy run in a minute. I've got orange juice, airborne, vitamins on the list - anyone have any other secret get-better-quick remedies I should pick up? Is zinc any good once you're already in the throes of the cold? Any weird herbal stuff?
Heal me Shack, you're my only hope!

My two week old system started encountering BSOD's today after installing Google Desktop (doubt this is the problem but the only thing I changed today). Since then I have tried scanning the disk, scanning for viruses, scanning for spyware, doing system restore from multiple points to no avail. I then tried to reinstall windows by booting through the cd and selecting to repair the windows installation. While setup was copying files to my computer (before it reboots and goes to the GUI) I get a BSOD again.

Two: How in the hell am I supposed to fix this if I can't even get through a windows reinstall?

Is it just me, or when you click on the "block images from [host]" after right clicking on an image...
1. in linux...the image disappears right away
2. in windows...it does not
Is that just an OS thing or does my co-worker have some extension that automatically gets rid of the image without refreshing?

Man hearing all these Jet pilots whine like babys over their long-deserved set of nerfs is just giving me a chubby. You can almost hear their cosmic screams as they realize they might have to die/respawn a couple of times a map now. GASP!

If you've ever eaten popcorn and thought "Hmm, this is pretty good.", if you've ever bought popcorn at the theater, if you've ever bought microwave popcorn, then really you owe it to yourself to spend the $22 and buy a Whirley Pop.
I'm not a huge popcorn fan, but I ate it, and would buy the microwave stuff, not knowing how crappy it was. I had no baseline to compare it to. I was young and naive. Then, a concerned Shacker bought me a Whirley Pop for Christmas. I thought it was a cool gift and I was sure I'd get some use from it. Little did I know I'd be using it about twice a week to make awesome popcorn in about the same time it took to make crappy microwave popcorn. Little did I know that Shacker had saved my life*.
Hate the cleanup? Me too. The Whirley Pop can be cleaned with a paper towel in a few seconds. Every few uses I give it a decent cleaning. That's all it takes. The popcorn kicks ass, and even if you're the type that can't make hot cocoa without fucking it up.
Just give in and get one. This isn't the first time you've heard this, and I'm sure it wont be the last. Don't be the only Shacker without a Whirley Pop.
