Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 12, 2007 6:00pm PSTWell I still find myself watching this Heroes show. Although a little bumpy at times I'm surprised at how interesting they have managed to make things. Excluding the psycho girl. She's just not any fun. Makes me cry. :(

probably a repost, but supposedly SCEA President says that he would pay a $1200 bounty for any PS3 found in stores ( saw that at http://www.penny-arcade.com/ )
Why does this remind me of http://freakord.shackspace.com/youwontfindany.gif
no, this is not another one of those OMG 234234 PS3s AT BEST BUY posts. I love my PS2, but Sony is on fucking crazy pills with this PS3 :(

Got insta credit for 3 offers, but haven't received credit for PeoplePC or Onlingo language lessons.
I'm less worried about getting credit and more worried about getting my money back.
A lot of these offers require you to send this worthless junk bank in 10 days or be charged $60-$80 EVERY month between now and eternity. I dunno, I'm starting to wonder about this. After all, the company could just not answer the phone, deny you an RMA, whatever and you'd be stuck with big bills. :(

I bought an Xbox 360 with Dead Rising and Gears of War.
Played both games for like ten minutes and didn't enjoy it at all.
GoW was too hard to control with a gamepad.
DR kept flashing text on the screen, but I couldn't read any of it at all. I have a 32" CRT TV and it was literally too small to read from my couch.
Is this odd or weird? I have no idea what to do in DR and in GoW I'll just return it because I HATE having to aim a gun with a gamepad.
BTW, I knew this going in but the hype machine sold me. Thanks shackhype!

This box actually arrived a few days before Christmas. Yes I'm a lazy fucker and deserve a random assortment of Rauol Duke insults. The box was opened with help from my four year old who was excited to see what the Internet had sent me. I'm not going to post the included paper as it was 3 pages long and consists of Mr. Rocketeer going through my post history with a fine toothed beaver.
We're going to start off with a collection of various stuffed toys and stress relievers.

Ooh, let's take a closer look at this one. Yes it's a Japanese toy that depicts a patron of the Blue Oyster Bar. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTJMerul33E )
http://www.five-online.com/shacknews/DSCF0645.JPG
He's included two life long manuals. I've put them side by side and now I'm puzzled. Maybe a trip to Utah is in order?
http://www.five-online.com/shacknews/DSCF0646.JPG
Keeping with the Japanese theme we have this toy. I have no clue what to do with this. It comes with instructions but I don't read Japanese. Neither does Rice-Rocketeer :(

Now we're talking! Two classic novels of C&H and a superheros book that my son likes to look at. Repeatedly. Five times a day.

As he was skimming my history he came upon a post of mine that wanted to purchase Doom 3. Well I don't need to do that anymore!

Next up was this. He wanted to beat sharkii to the punch and send me this card since I had an old Nvidia card in my box. Yes it was the actual X800 series. Now I can play BF2142.

Now comes the piece de resistance. This is what a WE is all about. Random crap. I blinked and stared at this for a few minutes before I realized what this was. Go on and click.

That's right. A Goatse mug. This really doesn't need anymore explanation except that it looks hand made and hand painted. I don't dare sully it with coffee as I would be drinking it out of a likeness of a man's ass. I'm not sure why he would part with it but this really brought the package together.
http://www.five-online.com/shacknews/DSCF0652.JPG
There was also a skipping rope but it's been annexed by my children somewhere.
All in all a wonderful WE. Salutations to Rice-Rocketeer for putting this together.

For the past few months I have been partaking, quite addictedly, in the Lord of the Rings Online closed beta. Being as I have had very little to do for these past months, and sleep has been ever more difficult to find, I have maybe had a bit too much of this game than is good or healthy. Regardless, what follows are my personal impressions... IN REPLY BRETHREN!

What are some things that you used to love to eat (as a kid or whenever) but can't stand anymore?
Also, I cannot fathom how these guys can eat lunch foods during normal people's breakfast time (I work 230am to 1330am). I still can only eat breakfast stuff during my 7am 'lunch hour'

Anyone here been using Adobe Lightroom betas? Thoughts?
I'm at a point where iPhoto isn't cutting it anymore and I need better organization. Will Lightroom help me out? The editing features sound nice, but my main goal is better organization of an 11,000+ photo collection that is growing by about 300-500 photos a month.
I've tried Aperture, but it's just too slow on my iBook. I did try the very first beta of Lightroom and it was snappy, and I have the last beta installed right now. But I would like to know from someone who has been /using/ it and not just me trying it out.
