Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 12, 2006 6:00pm PSTI'm pretty sure I'd like the Titan Quest expansion already. I had much more fun with that game than I had anticipated trying out different character builds etc. I'd like you guys to consider these:
- The cyberwar is coming! - Even a 'small' nuke war could change the world? Who knew? - Drink up! - WiFi is killing you - China loves gamersLastly, broadband is apparently popular in America. (more)

I love doubting you, I really do. All the fanboyism about Wii, etc. I even saw the 88/100 score for Zelda:TP on Gamespot and figured that's right. I knew that the game wasn't that spectacular.
I picked it up on Gamecube today - got the last copy at Target.
Color me blown away. Nintendo you know how to make magic. I just played for 3.5 hours. CUP=FILLED. What awesomeness.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.....

That’s right! Tune in to this episode to hear how you could win a copy of Guild Wars, Guild Wars: Factions, Lineage II, an NCSoft Wireless Mouse, a Guild Wars: Factions shirt, and a copy of City of Villans! ALL OF THEM!
Also, in this episode we discuss the surge in November sales for all the consoles wait till you hear about the Gameboy Advanced and DS). We discuss what the “Gaming For Window’s†Logo really means to us gamers (Hint: It actually means something!). Also, Sony’s PS3 1080i resolution issue that has cropped up and fumbled patch.
Elizabeth is back with another practical Gadgety (seriously), Chris’s Microtransaction segment discusses Sony’s PS1 offerings for the PSP, and Mark reviews Just Cause.

I figured out that I could get to wave 50 with a single ice tower in the center of the map. Total spent so far: 3360
On my best attempt, I lost at level 75 with 3 max level ice towers and 5 max level nature towers. Total spent @ end: 21,995.
So between waves 51 and 75, I spent 18,635. I can't for the life of me figure out how you'd save up 23k for one of the mega-powerful short-range turrets. I mean, I had a couple-thousand at the end, which means I had just barely grossed enough to have bought/upgraded that single tower.

I didn't get a chance to really play it, but it looks like its going to be an absolute blast. It's an arcade style, top down shooter. You start in a vehicle, but you can get out on foot and kill enemies (for a 2x bonus I believe). I'm not certain how many weapons there are, but I saw a flamethrower and machine gun when I played. Also you are equipped with grenades and nukes (that clear a large portion of the screen).
Most importantly, it has co-op. I'm really looking forward to playing this later tonight (IGN gave it a 8.7)

I must suck, I'm stuck in the first temple. >:(
I rescued three chimps but I have no idea what to do now. They aren't helping me get across the long bridge. Maybe I need four?
There is one place I cannot get in since their is a rock in the way By the bomb spiders, and I cannot get a bomb there in time.
Also there is an area where the two bridges are opposite and the wind moves them. I try to jump from one bridge to another when they shift but it's not happening. Is there any way to stop the bridges from moving?
What am I doing wrong? I'm not gonna finish this game. :~(

It looks almost exactly like WoW in so many ways. However, it has no z-axis and plays like diablo or Guild Wars. At first I was put off by it, but it was kind of fun after a while. Totally not a serious game, it pokes fun at a lot of shit, etc, has giant exaggerated weapons.
It reminds me of a nwns but with wow graphics and mmorpg/diablo.

For some reason my Digital Rebel XTi is now dumping all the pictures in the same CANON102 folder and not switching to CANON103, etc. every 100 pictures. Yes, I know this is a setting but I don't know what to set it to so that it resets to picture 0 and CANON100 and have it continue to CANON101 after 100 pictures.
Anyone know how I do that?

So after I come home from shopping, I go up to take a look. There's no curtains on the windows. And the appartment is the dirtiest, most filthy place I've ever seen. Garbage and leftovers everywhere, and the pup's sitting in the middle of it, trembling and howling.
So now I called Animal Protection.
Poor little guy :(

However, if I'm not going to get one that will fit well, I'd just go to the Men's Wearhouse and get measured and then go back to Macy's.... of course at MH they'd probably do alterations too so it would fit just right.
So, is my idea to grab a suit at Macy's going to not work?

I had just been playing Trauma Center, exited to the menu, saw no pointer, then saw the remote lights were off. I tried pressing A and it flashed all 4 lights. Tried to sync and nothing.
One day. One fucking day I got to play with this.

I got here early and set everything up. Yesterday, someone had left one of those Razor scooters, so I took the liberty of enjoying a little trip around for a few minutes before I opened.
It was fun, but kind of sad in a way. It didn't help listening to Black Balloon by the Goo Goo Dolls.

I guess the weekly maintenance caused some people to lose items/gear, Jason told me this morning he lost some of his tier 3 set (high-end raiding gear.) I didn't log in at all yesterday, so I don't know if I lost anything or not. You might see some WoW'ers on the Shack complaining today...
Can people get their WoW stuff back, or is it gone forever?

I installed TVersity and can now stream mpeg videos to my 360.
An unexpected bonus is being able to stream internet radio to the xbox.
One downside is that the 360 doesn't let you create playlists with video, so I can't queue a bunch up.
