What was so revolutionary about Halo that propelled it to this level? Or was it what I call the FFVII effect: It was the first game of it's kind that people really played?
Please don't set me on fire, I'm just curious.

Remember this http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=14906236#itemanchor_14906236
We're gonna build the best gaming machine evar made where money is not a problem.
I definitely need the Shack advice on this.
Looking for the best on:
- cpu
- motherboard
- vga card (this is pretty much locked to the nvidia 8800 ultra)
- sound card
- ammount and type of ram
- 64 bit operating system or not
- hard drives
- good case
- cooling stuff
I want the best of the best, to create something that cut up on any game like a knife on butter. This must last for another 3 years of gaming goodness.

might make an offer on a place. the (assumedly) fiberglass bath tub has spiderweb cracks in the bottom, which prompts the question:
any idea how much it would cost to replace a tub basin? maybe go balls out and redo the whole tub with an old school clawfoot deal? > $3000?

I found these at my local bookstore tonight and the first book's cover was so awesome I burst out laughing and then had to buy all the volumes they had.

I mean seriously, this is just a great premise (in a cheesy good way) . Looking forward to them.

Additionally, Sci-Fi is starting up their own HD channel next year and it's expected that they'll simulcast new BSG episodes there. No more several-month-waits.

I bought Resident Evil 4 for the Wii (having never played it on the GC) and I was loving it. But, I got distracted, busy...and have yet to finish it.
In fact in the mean time I bought Super Paper Mario for the Wii was loving that....got distracted, busy -- but, yet my girlfriend played it and beat it and she wonders why I haven't finished it.
Before that was God of War 2...I love the game, loved and BEAT God of War 1...but, got distracted, busy...
The first time I remember doing this was with Zelda: The Wind Waker. Before that it was NOT ok for me to not finish a game. I think with that game (and the fetch quest) I told myself it's ok to not finish it.
I am doomed.

Ads in a utopia? I don't get it, why would you build a city underwater to escape from surface and fill it with ugly neon ads? Yeah, I know, it looks cool but fights the high concept .
The bot hacking game? Pipedream FTW. One of the best co-op puzzle games, I played the arcade version like a fiend.
Simple controls - this is the way to make games.

Not sure I like the Far Cry inspired "pick up this radio - I'll guide you out of this" mystery dude. But as a mechanic, I like how that is straight forward.

I've been toying around with the idea lately of setting up an enthusiast PC hardware shop somewhere around Dallas (most likely between downtown and far north Dallas). I just wanted to bounce the idea of ya'll to see if you'd rather go to a local enthusiast store instead of a best buy or frys or order it from new egg and wait. The store would probably build custom PCs and sell high-preforming hardware and some software and games, but mainly focus selling high-performance, in-demand hardware.
And if you have any location suggestions, i'd love to hear them!

Seriously. I've never met a girl that I've been interested in for more that her looks. I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a god damn ice pick instead of talking to 99.999% of them.

Unfortunately for those who picked it up, the online 'activation' wont let them play until the 21st as the servers aren't yet live.
Looks like when you run the game, securom downloads part of the exe. No idea if it only does this once, though I cant see that working against piracy so its more likely every time you want to play the game it will do it.
Thanks for treating your PC customers like criminals 2K. The damn thing will be cracked within a few days anyway so the only thing this sort of stuff does is annoy your legitimate customers and make it more likely they will pirate the next game you release.

I apparently can't figure this out because I'm retarded.
I have 2 WRT54GL's with one running in Wireless Bridge mode and both running the Tomato firmware. The regular one has the WAN port hooked into my normal Netgear router. So like this:
360-->WRT54GL(Bridge)-->WRT54GL-->Netgear-->Internet
Now I can get out to the internet and Live with the 360 fine. The problem is that I can't see my pc from the Linksys boxes and the same the other way. The Wireless shit is 10.10.11.1 and 10.10.11.2(Bridge). The local network is on 10.10.10.0. I tried adding a route in the netgear and both linksys' but get nothing. Any ideas?
