Roboblitz is out on Steam right now for $15. It's the first release of an Unreal Engine 3 game on the PC, and it comes with Unreal Ed 3. All you bitches who want a peek behind the curtain, this is your first chance for some next-gen fun.
You should really check out Kismet, Matinee, and the Material editor.

My interview yesterday was a success - I have been asked to come back next week to meet with a partner at the firm for a second round of interviews
Conundrum - I only have one suit - and don't really have the money to buy another one (as some of the people I interviewed with will be in attendance this time as well).
Does it look bad to wear the same exact suit? Would a new suit be in order? Would just wearing a different shirt and tie be acceptable?

With an equal amount of intrigue and skepticism I bit the bullet and bought a Zune. I was hesitant at first because of the less-than-stellar news I've been reading about the device across the internet, but after reading through the Zune thread on the Awful Forums ( http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=318960082 ) it made me more confident that it would be a good addition to my gadget collection.
I've had the device for just under a week now and I'd like to share with the shack my overall impressions of the device.
I'll skip the bullshit about pretty packaging, and presentation and go straight to the goods (in multiple replies):

Surgery went well. I don't remember anything after scooching over from the rolley bed to the surgery table until I was in recovery. While in recovery:
*The first thing I remember is my cell phone ringing and my mom gave it to me. I recognized a number from work on caller ID and then dropped an F-bomb in front of my mother. I didn't answer it.
*I very loudly commented on how much I'd like to get the phone number of the cute girl in recovery across from me, so much so that multiple nurses checked to see if she or her friend had left it for me. (She didn't.)
*I burped really fucking loud quite a few times before I was totally aware again thanks to ginger ale on an empty stomach. (No wonder she didn't leave her number.)
*Apparently they crammed some crackers into me. That's the first time in my life I've eaten crackers in bed.
*On a more serious note, I woke up with some serious double-vision. I didn't think much of it, but the doctor was concerned because of the fact that the surgery did put his equipment up near my eyes and ocular stuff. Fortunately another hour in recovery (entertaining the nurses some more) cleared it up.
*I'm still bleeding profusely from the nose. I'm not allowed to blow or snort or anything fun like that, so I look like I've been punched in the face basically with the gauze on me. They didn't pack it in my nose though, which is good. Or so I've heard, anyway.
*This list was really hard to write because I'm pretty dopy.
I'll update on prognosis later. Right now I'm just kind of miserable.

A friend is travelling to Europe soon so i'm going to ask him to bring me a Wii.
Is the box with the console inside plus extra controllers and some games too heavy?
And how big is it?
Can any of you guys who kept the box, post a photo of it?

This round was the last straw. I had Any Given Sunday, Remember the Titans (on a football kick right now) and some random indy movie all ship the same day. Any Given Sunday and Titans got here the same day. Still waiting on the third one even though the site says it was shipped at the same time. Any Given Sunday turned out to be the special features disc (wrong DVD in the sleeve). Remember the Titans starts skipping about halfway through and will not continue to play.
I'm fucking pissed and ready to check out other options. I've heard decent things about Greencine. Looks like Blockbuster has a service as well, hows that? Any suggestions?

I want to get an AMD processor but am not sure what the differences are between them. What is the significance of dual core? Is it just like 2 processors? I don't understand how a 1.8 ghz dual core processor can be significantly faster than a 2.8 ghz single core processor. I just don't understand how they work anymore. What are the major things to look for to determine the speed of a processor? Cache? ghz? What does the whole 3800+ 4000+ 4200+ crap refer to? I have always been with intel so im new to all of this.
Also what is a good type of motherboard to get. I havent looked into motherboards at all yet so i don't know what im looking at yet. PCI express, if possible 2 PCI slots if I ever want to do the whole SLI thing. I want a motherboard that has some room for upgrades in case I need a faster CPU or more RAM a year or 2 down the road.
Im willing to spend up to $250 on a CPU. Im only really into gaming and that's all this rig will be used for. I want something that will last me a good while and will be able to play all current and most upcoming games at peak performance.
Any advice and knowledge is much appreciated. Feel free to add your 2 cents about anything computer related, not just about what im asking for (video cards, RAM, anything).
Thanks guys, sorry if grammar sucks had to type it up real fast.

are there places that take orders from you and just ship out the console when they get it? kinda like post-preorders? If I were one of you guys trying to get a wii, I'd so do that and just order online from somewhere like BestBuy or FutureShop or whatever and when it arrived, it arrived. Yeah I'm lazy.
How do the online stores work for out-of-stock stuff these days? Never tried...

1. Toys R Us exclusive Star Wars AT AT
2. Tickle me Elmo extreme
3. The Nintendo Wii
I'm not one that believes that my children *must* have these things (in fact the only thing that was asked for was the ATAT) but as a consumer, its very annoying to have to go through extra hoops to buy a product I want. This is why after my kids grow up. I want to become Scrooge.

There's some footage on the bottom of this site here, YouTube and High-Res: http://www.marinesims.de/site/silent-hunter-4/sh4-3.html
One of them shows the amounts of polygons used to simulate the water surface, and watching it I realized I saw something very familiar in one of the AGEIA demos. If Silent Hunter 4 would really support those cards it would be the first game to make me really think about getting one.
