How difficult do you like your games?

Do you play through once on easy or normal and cruise through, or do you crank the difficulty way up right away? How many times are you willing to repeat a section/level before you get frustrated and quit? Do you play a game through more than once?

You know what we need?

A motherfucking Airwolf videogame. 360 or PS3 or PC, I could care less. But it should be badass, and awesome, and explosive, and hot, wet, loaded with Airwolf action.

Action! None of that sim shit. Its all about blowin' stuff up and Airwolf-theme remixes. With an electric guitar. And stuff.

Yeah.

This is way off topic for the shack, but what the hell, it's cool. It's a 3D video showing what goes on in your cells at the molecular level (the proteins were rendered using their actual structures). It sounds lame, but trust me, it is stunningly beautiful.

XBOX 360 + (2 x RED LIGHT) = ME

So after laughing at all you suckas with your broken xboxes, it finally happened to me. Yeah, I know... "WAAAAH I GOT A BROKEN XBOX :_(".

Since I don't believe in extended warrenties (and therefore didn't get one) I was all prepared to take it in the pooper like a man and spend the $150 or whatever it is to get a new one. Actually, I did have a backup plan: I purchased it on my AMEX and was prepared to go the "Buyer's Assurance" route if I didn't get it replaced for free.

Well, luckilly I didn't have to go down this particular road of hell because Mr. Xbox customer support guy informed me that they have a new policy of replacing Xboxes manufactured before 2006 free of charge. So if you don't know this (I didn't), well now you do.

Now let's see how good they are about getting this thing back to me in a timely fashion...

So I went into Gamestop today to browse, and got to talking to the Manager after he asked if I'd played WoW, and I laughed about my 1.5 year addiction.

Anyway, he told me they knocked WoW down to $19.99 retail...more crack addicts incoming.

Then he offered me a job because I started talking to him about all the others games, and lets face it, I may not know as much as Remo, but I know more then Average Joe. I reviewed like 10 games on the spot for him, naming developers, you know stuff all of US can do, but not too many of THEM.

But he offered me a Management Job, I have an interview with the District Manager tommorow, to become an Assistant Manager.... I'm almost excited. The job is so fucking easy.

NETWORKING MENZ

Shackers unite. My dad bought a wireless modem router and has asked me to set it up. Turns out I don't know wtf I'm doing. The manual makes it look simple, but I can't figure it out, please tell me what a n00b I am and fix this :|

So the modem he uses at the moment is a USB adsl one, which seems to be causing the problem. The manual is saying to connect the router with the ethernet wire first for setting it up, but I can't even get that far. I cannot get this thing to connect to the internet through the router. The dial up box comes up but it seems to be looking for the usb modem instead of using the ethernet connecting wire.

Now that TGS is over, what did everyone think about what was shown? Sony's conference was quite boring, but they did have some cool games on the show floor. However, none of the games shown really make me want to go out and spend another 600 dollars for another console. Especially when I am looking forward to a lot of games coming out on the 360. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon do look good, but I don't think two games are going to help MS a lot in Japan.

Wikipedia ftw:

"Parts of the Ultima VII storyline are inspired by game creator Origin Systems' conflicts with competitor (and later, their new owner) Electronic Arts. The main antagonist of the story, The Guardian, is presented as a 'destroyer of worlds'. Origin Systems' corporate slogan was 'We Create Worlds' and it can be implied that The Guardian represented Electronic Arts' attempts at destroying the competition. The three evil 'Generators' created by The Guardian in the game took the physical shapes of the contemporary Electronic Arts Logo: a cube, a sphere, and a tetrahedron. Elizabeth and Abraham, two apparently benevolent characters who later turn out to be murderers, have the initials "E" and "A". The EA logo is again mocked in Ultima VIII as an animated cube-sphere-tetrahedron object."

I can see that being true and find it hilarious.

What the hell? I spend days in God of War}t beating Pandora's Temple and finally get my hands on her little dirtbox. I laughed out loud when Athena appeared after I got to box and told me to take it to Athens, and then she disappeared and Kratos was giving her a "I'm supposed to carry this thing all the way back to Athens? Fuck that shit!" look.

And Kratos goes and dies anyway :( fing Aries!

Funniest video I've seen all night. Read paragraph below before viewing!

"After vacation we noticed our water bill was very high. Nothing was leaking, and it appeared no one had been in the house. We were stumped as to how so much water had been used. We suspected someone was turning on a sprinkler and running it during the night.

Last night we heard water running. I grabbed my camcorder to get a movie of the law breaker in action to give to the police. The water "thief" was caught on tape! "

Attention VONAGE PEEPZ!

Im trying to find a cheap alternative for phone service for my mom. She currently is paying like 25 bucks for a shitty service and no long distance. I was checking out vonage and it seems like a cool alternative but im curious to know is there any thing I should know about them or their service or hidden cost or fees? IM thinking of getting her the basic plan of 14 bucks a month with unlimited incoming and 500 outgoing minutes. Which is good because she doesnt use the house phone since she mostly uses her cell.

The house phone is mainly used for a land line,work,medical,emergency type stuff. Not for chatting she uses her cell phone most of the time.

Any ideas,suggests,or comments on the Vonage phone

I feel like i'm in some kind of alternate gaming universe. What with Nintendo poised to make return from gaming console death and Sony looking like it's trying hard to be the least purchased console of the day.

Thing is, and I'm not Sony fanboy by any means, I *want* to see something cool from Sony. I keep waiting for something that makes me stand up and say "Holy shit, I'll but it just for that if nothing else!". As for Nintendo, I had written them off long ago after trying out the GC. I now find myself drawn to over the ps3 and even 360. Just plain weird.

That "Safely Remove Hardware" icon that shows up on nForce systems using SATA harddrives has bugged me for a long time, but someone finally found a way to get rid of it!

For nForce chipsets, add the following to registry:
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ nvata,
add DWORD DisableRemovable, set to 1. Reboot.
64-bit systems use nvata64. Some chipsets might use nvatabus instead.

MCE 2005 Question

So after a fresh format and install of MCE2005 I can no longer playback any video (no matter the type).. I have no idea what the hell the problem is now.. I've tried 3 different players (VLC,K-lite codec pak with MPC,Windows Media Player) All just load up the video and take 100% CPU and give no errors, just slow the system down to a crawl until you manually end the process.

Downloaded newest nvidia drivers (6600GT), tried older drivers, installed newest directX (ran the dxdiag, everything is fine), installed newest via4in1 pack, uninstalled all video codecs/reinstalled.. tried killing all unnessecary processes to see if it was something causing the non existing playback. Searched Google for hours on end.. this is my last resort!

I dont know what else to try!! Helllpppppp
