First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 09, 2007 8:16am PDTThe new E3 kicks off this week, and despite the lack of booth babes and stands that overload your sensories, it doesn't look like things have gotten less hectic. Looking at our schedule our editors will be running back and forth between various hotels quite a bit to get to all the appointments. There should also still be quite a number of new game announcements so yeah, things might not turn out to be all that different this year. Movie: First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside.

First question: Why are you cutting prices after 7 months?
Answer: Well, it's a10-year product life cycle - and it's a two-probg announcement. We're also introducing the 80GB model.

CNBC: Yeah, but I'm asking WHY?
It didn't get better. Painful... truly painful.

I'm thinking I'm going to get a Mac Book here soon. I go into the store located in the Mall de Americano and am looking around. I ask the guy some basic generic questions to show my interest and then I ask if Final Cut would work on the regular Mac Book. He told me straight up that I would have to get the Mac Book Pro if I want to run any part of the Final Cut Studio package. I look at him incredulously because when I asked him a couple other questions it became clear he was either bullshitting me or didn't know what the fuck. He said that the video card on the mac book since its onboard won't handle any of Final Cuts stuff.
So I say I'm going to look around a bit more and a couple minutes later and a different guy says everything from Final Cut will work fine except Color and uhhh one other app in it, and I understand that because I mean, If you're doing serious after effects shit you need a solid computer.
And yes I understand that if I'm doing serious "studio esque" work I will upgrade anyways, but I just wanted to know if I could run Final Cut on a mac book and not a pro...just on a theroetical level, not a "I'm going to be a film director and want a 5000 dollar machine."

I posted about this last night and finally found the command to enable/disable ragdoll physics: cl_ragdoll_physics_enable
For some reason, this was NOT turned on for me by default and all this time I've been playing with the boring "lay down and surrender" animation. Anyway, I spent the rest of the night laughing like mad every time somebody went flying 10 feet from a nade or sniper rifle. It's amazing how much more enjoyable this setting made the game.

we should do some forza racing tonight. but more than just straight race after race, that tends to get boring seeing as shackhype is mostly dead now :(
how about some light endurance races? no more than 15-20 laps or so, shouldn't take more than half an hour depending on car and track, but it's different, it's fun, it requires pit strategy.
or maybe some cat & mouse? that's FUN. 4 teams of two cars, one fast, the other a mini. the minis try to get to the finish line first, and their teammate fast cars have to help them in any way they can, either by helping their mini or beating the ever loving crap out of the other teams minis. how does that sound like anything but fun. it makes for some pretty insane wrecks and good all around driving fun :)
heck even some other dopey racing games could be fun and a nice change from usual straight up racing. last man standing anyone?
we need to race!! i'm so goddamned tired of racing the AI and lol i'll never ever play a game in a pub room ever again.

With TF2 and Quake Wars around the corner, should I buy BF2 or hold out? I almost picked it up the other day at the local Gamestop since they don't have it on EA Link (LMAOWTFDIAFEA), but decided against it. I am itching for a new shooter to play, CS:S is good stuff but shooting brickmatt in the face gets less rewarding over time, much like a Japanese bukkake flick.
Sooo....should I hold out or what? Are there any BF2 shackbattles that would warrant me picking it up?
