A browser based MMORPG similar to Urban Dead. We're looking for more members, so if you have a few minutes a day join us! We are gaining in power, soon we'll be doing raids on other factions and defending our own stronghold.
Tips: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=13292468
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=13343005
Current plan:
Level up to 10 as you like (heal/hurt/repair/etc.) so that we can start infusing squares.
Check out http://wiki.nexuswar.com/index.php/Class to look ahead to the class you want and plan your CP spending.
It's buring in the tips post, so I'll say it again: Don't waste your CP. Don't do something like take melee combat and ranged combat while trying to figure out which you like best. Use different characters for experimenting, you can have 3 per account (1 account per person).
Faction Spread
Head to the following areas as we are trying to congregate (I know its hard) for coordinated attacks.
Shacknews ppls: Head toward the northern cresent of St. Germain Island.
Shack Hype ppls: The Northwest side of central St. Germain Island (5-11 E/w; 26-36 N/S)
Followers of Appleflappen: Harper Island (Can get there via Ferry).

Is there some trick to setting up the 480p component output? I got the Nintendo Component cables, I plugged them in to my switch box (double checked cable colors etc), but I get a garbled signal for about 1 second and then it goes to "no signal". My DVD player component cables going through the same switch box works fine. I even tried a different input on the box in case the first one was fried or something.
Am I missing something? Help shack!

Xbox 360 #3 is dead. Long live Xbox 360 #3.
The best part? The Microsoft rep I talked to blamed Rainbow 6: Vegas for the failure. Paging MrLobo!
Anyways, I'm really bummed. Especially since 360's are out of stock at Costco's on my island, so I can't return it. SUCK!

I've had a site w/ surpass hosting for years, and i've got a domain i registered with their domain service that's been associated with it. I just bought a new domain from godaddy.com - I pointed godaddy to the two dns servers associated with my surpass account. Is there anything else I need to do? I've got cpanel associated with my account so right now I can go to currentdomain.com/cpanel and i get that. Once my new domain propagates will i be able to manage email and stats and stuff from newdomain.com/cpanel?
I guess Im confused how godaddy or whatever knows which site to forward to just based on those DNS servers. I feel like im missing a step here.

As you may or may not know, Origin/EA is releasing a new Ultima Online client in the coming year, with improved graphics etc. Now, I know when that comes out, I'll definitely be playing the game. BUT..
I was thinking, I'd like to get myself reestablished before then. Earn up money, buy a house, etc, before a ton of people surge back and land gets scarce. So, I was considering picking the game up again sometime extremely soon (maybe this week, maybe in January after Christmas). Would any Shackers be interested in going in as a group from scratch and making our way? Just imagine skinning hinds, chopping down trees, and carving chairs with your favorite shackers! I know there are a few of us old time UO fans here, so if you're interested, let me know. Hopefully we can set something up.
Update: A few people expressed interest in playing on a Player Run Shard instead, which I'd be up for, so if you have any recommendations there, let us know

At first I was just like: "Ah, it's delicious!" but then a couple of days ago, I was volunteering at this school, and this goddamn kid coughed in my face (I'm a hypochondriac).
I was like: "SHIIIIIT. GONNA GET SICK," and so I drank a few cups of Dragon Well, and I feel FUCKIN' GREAT.
Now...those bastards in Chinaland told us that you could not get this over in North America, or you could only get "C grade" Dragon Well here (which sucks, compared to the "A grade" or "AA grade" or "AAA grade" [I think we got "AA grade, 'cause "AAA grade" was too many rape dollars]), and it is SUPER FUCKING EXPENSIVE [I think more expensive than "AAA grade" down in Chinaland]).
My question to you fellows is...were those fuckers lying to us to make a sale? 'cause we're gonna run out soon, and going back to China for some tea is kind of going to suck.

went to bed last night and the world was good.
woke up today and my screen was black, turns out my PC was off.
hitting the power button doesn't do anything but give me a bad feeling in my stomach, no beeps, no whirrs, no nothing. it's dead, jim.
it gets better. while I'm getting ready to crawl under the desk to check out if maybe a cable came loose (no) my girlfriend's PC gets a big nasty BSOD, reboots - and her HDD is gone. BIOS denies all knowledge of it and the knoppix live CD doesn't think it's there either. cables are again alright.
I know I'm repeating myself, but... HELP

Except for now she really wants us to get one to play Zelda and Tennis. I guess I should not be too surprised since she was looking forward to DDR and Guitar Hero for my 360, but still. This girl has not played a Zelda game since the original and now she is super excited for the new one on the Wii, I really think Nintendo is on to something (Gee we have not heard that here 54646 times now).
Oh and then she saw a commercial for the pink DS and wanted a pink Wii :(
