Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Oct 10, 2006 6:00pm PDTLooks like things are about to start getting sassy again around here as the holiday season approaches. Much like Maarten I am quite emo over the suck that is NBA Live 07. I'm sure there is some other stuff coming out that I'll enjoy though.
- Wireless spam - Navs are hot - Kite power - Big diamond - Inside the hybrid factoryLastly, looks like we've got hybrid discs and now hybrid chips for players for the new DVD formats. Yay.

**Note: Saturday 10/21 was not good. Shifted this shack meet to Sunday 10/22 so we can make use of discount coupons. Turns out the "fine print" of the coupon doesn't allow use of them on 10/21 and 10/28 :-( BAH fucking fine print!!! Hope people can still make it that day.
Use the online coupon to support El Tigre's TKD demo team :-)

Quick question.
One of my old systems kicked the bucket. In a spot of luck- A friend is donating me his Asus Socket 939 motherboard. Does anyone have a socket 939 cpu they could donate sell to a fellow Shacker for a reasonable fee ? Im kinda dying here.
Also would like to know whats a good PCI-e videocard [preferably Nvidia] for under $200 bucks? I still have a 9800 pro.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know what this site is and in fact I am helping spamers share it so that might be bad. Every time I loaded the page it was something different and weird. In FireFox I was free from bad things happening but ymmv as the site is in ÑÂussian. I don't know wtf it is but it is kinda cool and early 90s video gamey looking.

tiger woods demo wow, i've never really been a huge video game golf fan but this game looks to be fantastic. hitting a teeshot has never felt so satisfying before. the entire swing system is great, graphics are omg wow and this is the first golf game i'm going to be buying since Wailea on SNES.
nba2k7 demo eh... gotta say i'm a little disappointed. the graphics felt very aliased and not nearly as sharp as 2k6. and that's important simply because 2k6 was one of the reasons i got an xbox360. it was gorgeous, vivid, sharp, and pretty. gameplay wise it seems a little better than 2k6 but i couldn't really notice anything. it seemed a bit slower too but i'm sure you can adjust that in the full game. i'm not really a huge basketball fan so i can't see myself picking this up.
marble blast haha fun little game. difficult, i bought it on sunday and i've only got 5 more levels to clear under par. fast paced and crazy!! i've never been so frantic over a stupid little marble before

IGN only gave it a 3, but apparently they were the same guys that wanted to give Gradius V a 4 or 5 and upgraded it to a 7.7 because everyone else was jizzing over it....so...fuck them.

Some of you might remember my momentus interview with Peter Moore last year surrounding the XBOX 360. Well, this year it looks like I'll be able to chat with Sony COO Stan Glasgow regarding the PS3.
Soooo, like I did last time, I'm asking the Shack what burning questions they have that need answering.
Try to keep it clean, but I'll sterilize any submissions I get from you all anyway.

I am about to take a trip from Indiana to Florida with a car I just purchased. On that drive I would like to roll my windows down and blast some musics. Rage against the heavens if you will. So what should I listen to?
GH 1 + 2 songs already on my CDs, as well as choice cuts from Allman Brothers, Nickle Creek, Hot Hot Heat, Green Day, and U2.

I'm not talking about the surprisingly bleak "end" given to Jack Sparrow by Elizabeth but rather the reappearance of Barbossa at the very end? What the fuck? I thought he got stabbed through the heart after being made mortal and he died?
I know we're in a fantasy world where we can have pirates who merge with the sea in Davey Jones' Flying Dutchmen (and wow, were those fx mostly fucking amazing) and skeletal ghost pirates from the first movie, but I'd appreciate a little internal consistency!
Oh yeah, and we could've lost the opening thirty minutes into a single scene or two without any loss of story given the complete filler that we were offered in there (LOOK ITS JACK SPARROW AGAIN!).

Was bored earlier tonight (midnight, ~6 hours ago), and I got this idea for a small photoshop project with all the news and hype surrounding the upcoming video iPod.
I took some realistic ideas and proper specs and created what I thought could be the next iPod Movie.
The jump from the iconic glossy/mirror iPod to the anodized aluminum shell was a tough choice (and a bit far fetched), but I wanted to try something a little different. I liked it. =\
I may repost this in the "morning." Off to bed, adios.
