Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again
I just can't picture Valve going through all this trouble and not offering the HDR-reworked levels as a download for the PC at some point. Has anyone from Valve commented on this?
Perhaps it will be one of the bonuses for preordering Episode 3 (since Episode 2 doesn't need any more incentive)

I need a nice counter for a clients website.
Something that would send him the site's stats by mail, every month or something. Free too.
Does anyone know anything like this?
I was looking for that one that has a black and blue logo (very popular), but i cant remember its name...

-the ability to wreck people's shit
That's it that's all I want I just want to wreck shit, usually WoW is good for this because I can just queue for a battleground and hop around oneshotting people and winning 1v3s and shit but well the servers are down :(
BF1942 used to be good for this (holy shit the airplanes) but no one plays it anymore, and BF2 just isn't as satisfying as 1942 was and I don't have 2142 yet

Things we'd like fixed about the Shack
I'll keep mine easy-to-fix, since those are the only kind that will ever get dealt with :D.
Grammar:
(1) In the Shackmessages window, the button at the bottom that should say "DELETE CHECKED" says "DELETED CHECKED".
(2) When you're PRLed 1 second, the alert box still says "seconds".
Haiku et. al, I beg you to fix these, they are both the work of a minute to fix and drive me crazy.
Alt Post Form:
(3) The alt post form's preview window doesn't react to several valid tags, such as the "i" form of the italics tag, or the "b" form of the bold tag.
(4) The alt post form apparently submits something other than the raw textfield contents the user has typed in (presumably, it submits a buffer or something instead), leading to problems: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355136
Feature:
(5) Re-implementing Collapse would, according to http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=13198654 , take a night and eliminate the need for a Greasemonkey script
(6) Live PRL timer on alt post form?
What are YOUR requests? Note: I'm sure this whole thread will not result in anything productive so don't get your hopes up

If you never played it, Forgotten Hope for Battlefield 1942 was an extremely enjoyable, realism-oriented mod that was both totally sweet and super awesome. The BF2 version is one of the main reasons I bought BF2. Now it just needs to come out...

My main issues are sloppy play control, the job system re-using existing level templates so that the game gets stale really quickly, shitty story, anime garbage cutscenes, no real engagement that makes you want to finish the story.

We'll first have dinner at John's Pizzeria at 7ish. The address is 260 W 44th St between 7th and 8th avenue.
From there we'll probably catch a 9:05 showing of Borat at AMC Empire 25 42nd Street Between 7th and 8th Avenues.
At which point I have to leave because I have class in the morning, but you guys can still something if you want, in face, I encourage it!
Is nice?

"Did you pre-order Gears of War?"
"No"
"Then we dont have one for you"
What is with this shit? I didnt fcuking pre-order the milk at the grocery store either. But the grocery store knows that you will want it so it gets it. It even gets extra for the people that have a life and do not have time to go in and fill out a card and put down $5 on some milk that the grocery store knows that they will buy regardless ext week. Does Gamestop not think people are going to buy it unless they put a $5 down on it months ago? That they might lose money? That the only people that will be buying this game are the same ones that stood inline a week before StarsWars open so that they could see it?
So what do i do? Order it from Amazon.

between not being able to target enemies, to having to use a combination of keyboard, numpad, and mouse to execute scripted boss moves, to having the shitfucker glitch and give me a split second or decide it won't accept the key I'm pressing, I say: fuck you. fuck you right in your stupid ass. fuck you where you breathe.
may goblins rape you in your sleep and violate your mothers eyesockets with their infernal infected penii.
it turned out to be a fun game that I hate playing.
what prompted this, you ask? the battle with fucking Ymir. I totally have a hard-on for them getting the names and backgrounds right, but holy fucking shitcock, assclown, fuckturkey, jizzmop, babyfucker control scheme batman.

Originally ordered: Abit AB9-Pro, E6400, G.Skill 2gig DDR2 <-- RMA'd
Now have: Abit AB9-Pro, E6400, Corsair XMS2 2gig DDR2 <- RMA Later today.
I have tried multiple power supplies, multiple video cards, multiple everything. I take this ram and put it in an identical stable system, crashes. I put stable ram in this system, crashes. I put a stable CPU in this system, crashes. I put this CPU in another system, crashes. This motherboard with different components that are stable, crashes. Two different installs of windows. Minimal components plugged in. Latest drivers. Not so latest drivers. Latest bios. Not so latest bios. This PCI slot, that PCI slot.
And I'm not even talking about over clocking! I can't even boot this memory at its rated voltage! I'm not even stable a stock speeds for the CPU, let alone memory. I've built two other C2D systems but my pride and joy? My little baby? Oh fuck no, it has to be a total fucking cunt. I'm ordering a Dell next time.

So I get confident that I know how to do shit on this Leenoooks thing, and then something like this comes up. How do I update Firefox on my Ubuntu box? It's not in Synaptic, and downloading it just gives me a folder of stuff.
Said folder, upon extraction and running the "firefox" executable within still launches the 1.5.0.7, which is the last packaged build.
What gives?

I must say, I've never tried to play the part of squad leader in BF2, but tonight I got my first taste, and I loved it.
Things were pretty scattered with only one squad containing two guys, so I leader'd up and a couple guys jumped in my squad. We started to work our way to the closest enemy-controlled point (and picked up a couple more squad mates along the way). We took it, then moved on. Eventually, our squad had a hand in regaining all the flags in our favor. We then began moving back along the line, defending for a minute or two, then moving back to the previous point. Rinse, repeat.
We came back from a ticket deficit of 110-190 to win, 50-0. I'm not bragging, but I feel like our squad, by being organized, had a huge part to play in that.
I'm hooked. Be sure to post your BF2142 in-game name so I can add you to my buddy list. I'm PewpStewart.
