It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. I'm not expecting it to be fantastic, but hopefully it'll at least be solid enough to warrant a playthrough.

I'm curious if not doing the whole bar/club scene is statistically stupid!

I just moved (sold a house, bought a condo), have a reasonably big chunk of money as a result, have a 401k and some stocks, etc. I guess i don't have a reference point as to when i should start getting advice about personal finance and what the best source would be.

We’ve got some really exciting Team Fortress 2 coverage for you guys! Chris has returned from his trip to Valve and he’s got the goods on this highly anticipated, long awaited shooter.
We’ll also be chatting about Ken Kutaragi’s recent retirement announcement, the incredible Wii sales figures, and the recent announcement of God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP (as well as the free demo being offered).
In “What We’re Playing†Elizabeth talks about the new Pokemon and Puzzle Quest for the DS. Mark gives his impressions of G.R.A.W 2 and GTA: Libery City Stories.
Last but not least, we announce the winners of our God Hand contest! Thanks to everyone who submitted a Haiku–there were some really entertaining entries.
There is, of course, plenty of banter in between these topics. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

For some reason, ssh doesn't work anymore. says /usr/libexec/ssh-askpass doesn't exist (and it doesn't).
Did this happen to anybody else when they installed the security update, or is something else messed up?

There was a thread on it really early this morning, but here's a repost because I'm a shill!
http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/
Unfortunately the uber ~350MB 60fps 720p w/ proper 5.1 version that I spent 2 days preparing didn't make it up due to some... inept handling of the situation. I'm going to see if I can get the clearance to post what I currently have, but until then you'll have to make due with a horribly compressed 24fps version with the wrong 5.1 track.
Notes:
Except the intro/outro + "eye" shots its all in-engine + in-game (literally just footage captured during gameplay).
We haven't mentioned any platforms or specs, but a lot of people seem worried that IW has forsaken PC gamers. We're a PC house, dudes!
I can't say much more about the trailer or the game, but I'll do my best to answer any questions you guys might have.

LOTRO Firefoot Menz
For those of you who don't know, we've set up a Kinship on the Firefoot server, 'Seekers of Aman'. If you haven't gotten in yet, message anyone in the Kinship, as everyone has officer privileges and can invite (I should be on later today, named 'Tehladas').
We've got a Wordpress blog set up at http://www.seekers-of-aman.com and the forums are at http://www.seekers-of-aman.com/forums
Go ahead and register on the forums using your Character's name. Once you do, I'll add you to the Member group so you can see the private boards. Then head into the Private General Discussion forum and then to the sticky'd "Roster" post. There post your Character's name, class, and your Shack name. That way we can keep track of who's who, and I can create a roster page off the Wordpress blog.
Thanks!

I moved to SoCal area about a month ago (love it!), and my T-Mobile service out here is pretty awful. Especially near/in my apartment. I don't know hardly anything about the technology thats behind these phones, but I think I've heard different companies use different tech. Which is best? Which has best customer service etc? I'm open to phone suggestions too :)

I mean you have the first game, and it's good. The second game might be good, but not always. The third game, well it is usually lacking. And a fourth game? Cmon, give it up. There's nothing new to do in this franchise so let it go and move on.
For example, Call of duty 4? What is there that is left to do that didn't happen in the first three games? Same with the Quake and Doom series.
I guess the obvious exception would be Final Fantasy.
Otherwise, it just seems like even a developer would start to get a little tired of the content of a franchise after the third game, know what I'm sayin?
