by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 14, 2006 7:02am PSTOh hello, I didn't see you there. I was too busy playing with my newly acquired Wii. So far I've only played Wii Sports, but after this I'll go pick up a retail game or two. Real happy with the fact that 480i is looking quite acceptable on my DLP HDTV, as I haven't been able to find component cables anywhere yet. Also on FileShack
- NHL 07 Retail Patch 2.0 - US retail - fixes a desync issue.
- Science & Industry 1.1 Full - its been a while but this Half-Life 1 mod has been updated.
As of recent, I have only been able to play videogames on weekends, and thus if I play any type of multiplayer game, I find I am lacking the skill to compete, or contribute to my team.
Consequently, I am finding that I am enjoying singleplayer gaming a lot more. That said, I really miss good, ol' fashioned multiplayer.
Are there any games out there that allow casual gamers to jump in, and still be useful to the team?

Got a bunch of spare money, combined with the December pay I think I'm going to pick up some new speakers early next year. But it's time to start planning already in case I can find some deals between Christmas and New Years while visiting my parents (they got a real nice store for this stuff nearby).
So, a two-part question.
1. To be able to buy something a bit better I think I'm going to ditch one speaker from the beginning. So living in an apartment would it make most sense to leave out the center or the sub-woofer? i.e. would 5.0 or 4.1 be preferred? It's fairly well isolated between apartments though.
2. Looking to spend around $1000 I've so far come to like Infinity's stuff, what other brands should I be looking at for a good movie and game experience (limited use for plain music)?

thanks to the great three character limit I tested the waters a bit, and eventually kept my roster of two hand-to-hand fighters, one mostly good, one pure evil, and one searcher. my mostly good character has 1 XP so far, because it's just not very easy to find evil lowlevel chars to hulk smash, and my searcher has his pockets full of precious loot but not a single XP. only the "you're level 1, you die" character has 62 XP already and -22 morality. it seems like you pretty much need to be an ass to advance in this game.
healing uses up precious kits, I can't craft or repair stuff, and that leaves pretty much 0 options besides randomly punching people in the face.

This may have been posted but searching for "Gears" here is like searching for "it"
Anyways, just saw on Gamespot that the down-loadable content for Gears will be Free. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6163240.html?tag=latestnews;title;2
Funny too because my Nov. 2005 prediction came true: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=11180303
Anyways, Class-A move Epic, NoCopy = Epic Customer for Life.

I think I'll keep mine because I'm generally pretty good about not throwing things at my electronic equipment and loved ones.

"The Lost Room"
I am allready on the third episode and it is just so awesome, it reminds me of the twilight zone but it has a story to it and each episode has revealed a little bit each time but the show is just kickass.

It has the sweetest beats, so far I'm feeling a kind of Cinematic Orchestra meets Herbalizer groove. It's hot hot hot so check it out.

"On December 20 a new Halo 3 video will be available on marketplace. It's a 7-minute video that will be released next week. It highlights the emergence of the Brutes as playable characters in the game. It touches on their skills, origins, and how they are being created. It has about 2-and-a-half minutes of gameplay footage."
Knowing me it's probably on the main page.

American Pie movies are the new Police Academy; good for a chuckle the first time but eventually you just start wondering why the fuck they keep making them.

It turns out, that your free month doesn't come with the 360. The free month comes with your account. Since I created my account at the start of November, got my 360 in December, my free month of gold that I couldn't access anyway was gone before I even opened the box.
Sounds like a steaming pile of bullshit to me.

So, the apartment complex that i live at has this movie theater type room where they have theater seats and a projector and stuff and you can rent it out and watch movies in there (dvds)...so i was thinking, maybe we could all have a shackmeet there or somthing?
i could make popcorn in my whirley pop and we could watch the story of ricky (or any other movie) or somthing like that. im not sure if they disallow beer or not but if they dont then all the better!
thoughts?

finally beat the MOTHER FUCKING SPIDER BOSS at the first of the game. now, i'm at the MOTHER FUCKING MOVING WALL OF DEATH and cant kill it before its GAME OVER
I took some footage of the as-yet-unreleased-but-should-be-out-soon improved helo flight model from the German/Czech release of Armed Assault, along with a look at the new TrackIR "TrackClipPro" peripheral. They're both pretty awesome. The helo FM is much better than the OFP one, and it's significantly improved over the current ArmA helo FM. It takes some of the things I loved about the BF2 helos like the ability to invert (roll/loop), a better sense of inertia, and then further distinguishes the difference between light helos like the Littlebird and heavier/bulkier ones like the Hip and Blackhawk. It's a very significant improvement, and it's a joy to fly with.
As to the TrackClipPro, it's something anyone who is considering picking up a TrackIR, or already has one, should think about getting. I love it - it's much easier to have the TrackClipPro attached to your headphones, versus having to put on the TrackHat whenever you want to play a TrackIR supported game.
If you're interested in the footage, you can download the full-res video here:

Oh, and the US/UK release of ArmA should be happening in February. ShackTac will be migrating to it at around that time.
