First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 21, 2006 10:19am PDTA late start today, which I blame on me watching the first season of The Wire on DVD. I had been hearing good things about the show for years now, plus Bill Simmons dedicated a large part of a recent column to the show so I figured I'd check it out. I'm not disappointed! Now I need to track down season 2 and 3. Also on FileShack
- GTR - Valencia movie - more footage.
- FIFA 07 updated demo - a few tweaks and international commentaries.

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again
I have a lot of ideas for games that I would love to see made someday, and judging from reading the shack, most people who post here do too. I won't ever make them though because programming games is hard as fuck. I was thinking of making a very simple web app that allows users to post their ideas for games. Other people can read and rate the idea, or maybe just give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Maybe allow anyone to add comments associated with an idea.
I'm really not sure how useful or cool this would be. Maybe some game developers or people with skills would see an idea and run with it.

On top of that you have these three companies in charge who, as far as I can tell, are each running their own committee that has regular meetings to decide how best to come across as completely fucking ridiculous all the time.
There are definitely games on all three systems that I'm looking forward to playing, but I'm less and less excited about them all the time just due to constantly getting frustrated with the whole "next gen" scene. At this point I feel like I could just stick with my current gen systems and my PC for several more years.

P.S. Next-gen is a serial rapist.

The best part of Halflife 2 was the beginning. Everything up until you help the woman/get the gun is interesting and engaging. After that its walk ten feet, murder a cop, rinse, repeat.
Same with Doom 3. The entire prologue and the first mission where you're supposed to find some errant scientist, is great. After that it's walk ten feet, kill a monster, rinse, repeat.
And now I just watched the Bioshock footage and it looks like the same shit all over again. Great setup, beautiful artwork, immersive atmosphere, and all of it ruined the second the "splicer" shows up.
All the fps games I've played recently I've ended up playing with god mode on, trying to ignore the baddies and trying to enjoy what I think is the only good thing left in the genre these days, which is the artwork.

Any shackers get any dvd burning software that burns iso's working in vista RC1. I haven't tried any yet but just have read that nero doesn't work at all on it. So any recommendation would be great.

Picked this up today, traded in a few games for it. $40 retail price, which was surprising.
I've played a little over an hour so far. Its pretty damned good. The art style is just beautiful. And it doesn't get in the way of the actual gameplay, which is nice. The brush tool works pretty well, the game is good at interpreting my terrible analog stick skills. The fighting system is pretty simple so far. But the game looks to have a lot of depth, and I can see the Zelda comparisons already. But the game has character as well, which I like.
The intro was a bit long but engaging. Its a lot of fun so far; you don't see titles like this very often... full polish. I get the impression that they put in as much effort in everything else as they did the art.

Most depressing video ever.. also one of the best covers. It takes one of the happiest, most popular 80s songs, and turns it into a dirge about AIDS(lol). I remember seeing it on 120 minutes on MTV, back when they played cool videos in the 90s. It turned me on to coil. Also R.I.P. Jhonn Balance

Just the first draft of a document back from one of my bosses. It's about 12 pages, single spaced, 10 point font, two columns. He gave me a list of things he wanted changed. Most of them are going to be pretty easy to implement, and then I find that all double spaces following the end of a sentence need to be changed to single spaces.

"It's unfortunate that Microsoft's external HD-DVD drive will not enhance the experience at all for the gamer. Sony realizes that to truly take gaming into the next generation requires a larger data format for both games and movies. PS3 uses the Blu-ray format for gaming, giving developers 50 GB of high-definition storage on a single disc, while Microsoft's 9 GB DVD gaming format is an obstacle for storing HD content. Furthermore, Microsoft's announced HD games patch is really just a compatibility feature -- upscaling lower-resolution content does not make it Full HD (1080p), something that PS3 can do out of the box."

I think I am at the last chapter. I believe it's called A Jedi's Destiny. How do I kill the Emporer? I only could wack off 3 heart and he starts slinging lightning already. I can't do jack crap when he does that. I have nothing to Force his way. TY in advance.
