by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 01, 2007 9:04am PDTWeekend chat refresh! Picked up The Darkness on Friday, and in between 360 freezes (yeah, still..I'll be damned if I go buy a new one before they revise the hardware though) I've been playing it a fair amount. Great locations, characters, graphics, gameplay. Really nothing to complain about so far, very enjoyable. Reminds me a lot of Max Payne actually. Also took in Live Free or Die Hard, or Die Hard 4.0 as it's called here, yesterday, and was very surprised - a lot better than I had been expecting. Movie: Yo, it ain't Miller time, man!

Also I don't understand why it doesn't turn on the opmitizations for dual cpu's. Maybe I"m wrong but I was under the impression r_usesmp was for dual cores and such? It keeps turning it off even though I have a Core 2 Duo.
Also everything looks like shit if you have Shader detail set to anything less than high.

I bought a laptop about a week ago and it said it had bluetooth integrated, the model number is hp dv6227cl. My problem is I have no fucking idea how to get this thing to work with my bluetooth stuff. Ive tried installing the bluetooth drivers and it says "no bluetooth device detected, please install a bluetooth device, etc" and the hp website isnt any help at all. I was hoping one of you fine gents would help me before I call them up and be tied on the phone for an hour.
First one with a working solution gets a blowjob airmailed from me to you.

Looking forward to it, should be a nice change from CS:S!
The website is here: http://www.insmod.net although the site is being hammered right now.
It's basically a more realism-oriented modern infantry TC for HL2 with squad and objective based gameplay.
Hope some other shackers will download this so I don't have to play on pubs tonight :D

I had to go to work today on a stat. holiday. Since I haven't been working at this place for 30 days, I don't think I get stat. holiday pay, NOR do I get overtime hours on this.
Anyhow, with that in mind, we had about a job that should take an hour. Setting up some tables and 21 computers for a summer camp.
When I arrive, about 5 minutes before I'm supposed to, only TWO of the SIX people are there. That's cool. The other guy and I start working. The next person arrives 15 minutes after the time we were supposed, and the last person arrives 20 minutes before we were supposed to. Then our bosses, who were supposed to help us arrive 45 minuetes and 55 minutes late (FOR A ONE HOUR JOB).
In addition, one of my other co-workers is all like: "OMG. I am SO tired," and she hadn't done ANYTHING. She hadn't done any lifting, had hardly physically exerted herself, and had spent most of her time standing around.
I mean...how do these people...HAVE JOBS? Honestly, if I were the boss, I'd be like: "Get your ass to work, you lazy bastards," and I would be right in there with them. Working. No one has any bloody work ethic any more. They expect to have an easy job, and have money be handed to them on a silver platter.
My direct boss is fucking awful for that, too. He delegates the EASIEST jobs away from himself, doesn't take responsibility for any shortcomings, and INCESSANTLY COMPLAINS about how hard his fucking job is. FOR FUCK SAKES.
*Sigh.* I've had lots of other jobs where this has been the case, and it just infuriates me to no end. Why the fuck are people so fucking lazy!?!? JESUS FUCK.
TL;DR I fucking hate lazy people. FUCK ALL.
Thanks for listening, Shack. And thanks in advance for the pity replies.
How do you do missions as a gang and share in the rewards/credit? Is this even possible in Eve?
I have seen the option after completing a mission to select that my gang has completed it, but are there any restrictions to this? We didn't seem to both get the reward when we selected this option.

The result? SUPER CHEESE. omg, this is so good... tastes like super "Pizza-top" cheese, its kind of like cheese curd only more ... meaty and intense cheese flavor. With (literally) half the fat.
Mmmmm... Sometimes its good to try new things.

I'm wrapping up the SP career mode. Or at least that's what I like to tell myself as I've closed the door on many of the fun racing series and now have to cut through the not-so fun stuff like the Factory Spec snorefest. One of the last series I wrapped up was the Super-duper put-way-too-much-money-and-HP-into-a-Ferrari-330-P4 series. I didn't have a comparable S-class car ready and didn't feel like buying something new to soup up. So tens of thousands of virtual credits and several hundred horsepower later, this happened:

You know how people will post a pic like this and say shit like, "I wasn't driving too fast, I was flying too low! LOL" and you think to yourself, "Will you ever give it a rest, drucifer?" Well I won't do that to you guys because I love you.
Once I finished the series and realized that it was hellaciously late and I had to work in the morning and the only other things left to play were the boring Factory Spec races and oh-so long Endurance races, I got busy in the Paint Editor. As if dropping an F50 powerplant into a classic 330 and tuning it to insane levels wasn't sacrilege enough, this happened:

I'll probably go back and tweak both the text and the color, as it looked great on screen last night, but pretty meh in these screenshots.
So when is the next Shack race?

I was changing the kitchen light, and it is one of those big round oval things that you have to push in and rotate to lock it in place. Being small I was up on the counter doing this and after changing it and letting it sit in place to make sure it was locked, I jumped down and in mid air I heard a suction type sound and only had time to close my eyes and hope for the best as it thumped onto my head and hearing glass shattering all over the place.
It was strong and thick enough glass that just hitting my head didn't shatter it, but it fractured it enough that when it hit the counter and floor it shattered into tiny and large pieces.
I'm only bleeding a little and I'm still shaken up, but holy fuck did that scare the shit out of me. :(
