Btw, the game that you get on Steam is the black version, though it's advertised as merely the gold. It includes the behind the scenes video and level editor. If you're a fan of Quake or Serious Sam and don't mind a scary feel, it's totally worth $10.

I am not one of the unfortunates who gets motion sickness from playing FPS titles. Now I am upgrading my tv (finally) and I am curious if this will be a factor when I get my new tv. It's a pretty substantial jump. 27 inches to 50 (sounds like a porn star requirement)
Anyhow was wondering if anyone experienced a change, in the sense that they didn't experience motion sickness before, but then started to when they got a much larger tv?

[According to the townspeople, the illnesses began after the meteorite crashed and they began to touch the glowing rock believing it had some type of monetary value. Aside from the hundreds of townspeople that were affected, Tejada reported that 8 police officers had to be hospitalized after having taken samples of the meteorite.]

I just got my 360 2 days ago. It's great. I just played through Gears of War yesterday and finished it today. Then I immediately started up Halo 3. Therefore, I've had a clean impression of them both side by side.
I think Gears pulled me in faster, and seemed to look alot better graphically. I had a really time figuring out how to play it effectively at first though.
Halo looks great, but not quite as good as gears. It is very easy to get started, but it feels like it has a ton of buttons.
I haven't finished Halo 3 SP, but on initial impressions I'd have to give the nod to gears. Your thoughts?

Starsiege: Tribes Shackbattle Interest Thread
Shazbot! cobra's thread about Tribes ( http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=15209925#itemanchor_15209925 ) seems to have stirred a bit of interest for this old gem. So I propose we have a Shackbattle to celebrate the glory days! Back when epic, 64 player battles could take place over a 56K modem and didn't even require 3D acceleration. Who needs TF2, Quake Wars, Halo 3, or any of that other new, expensive stuff anyway...Tribes is arguably more advanced than any of those!
Seriously, the game has aged extremely well and it's 100% FREE to download and play. Download it, unzip, run the installer and also run the included patch:
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/5054/Starsiege:+Tribes+Full+Version
If you would be interested in an organized Shackbattle (because finding a populated, non-modded server to play on is impossible), reply in this thread. And if you can provide a server to run this battle on, please mention that, too. Hope to see many of you in a grand Tribes-revival game soon!

First, there will be a (some) Shack TF2 clan(s). At the very least there will be a clan based around East Coast / Central Time play. If possible, a Mountain / West time play clan. I'm going to work with ThomW to use his awesome site and skills to get something setup for co-ordination and all of that. There will be open try outs, but if you like to play just for fun, this probably isn't for you ... and that is okay! There will be tons of shackers just jumping in and playing. I'm off to bed but if someone wants to put one of the servers to use for this cause for 1) either just tryouts or 2) perm use for practices and matches, please reply here and then shackmsg. Reply so others know someone has stepped up to the plate. If you replied to my other thread, when we have something finalized, you will get a shackmsg!
Second, there is something very rewarding about strafing between a demo's nades, and then pumping him full of needles. Being one point away from first place on a team as a medic is good fucking times.
Third, how long does it take for the TF2 stats on steam to update? Do you have to be on a validating server or something? http://steamcommunity.com/id/rosewood/stats/TF2 - I've had 50+ point games as an engineer and a medic and a heavy. Wtf? I even had a 30 point ROUND as a medic yesterday. If I get an ePenis yard stick, I want to whip it out!

- If you're drunk at 9am in the morning and thinking about pissing on a shopfront window, Don't do it.
- If the police CATCH you do this and tell you to 'put it away'.... do it.
- Don't go into a nearby bar and start causing trouble.
- When the police arrest you (and they will), don't call the police officer who has you in a wristlock an 'ugly cunt'.
- Don't fight police when they put you in the truck. Capsicum spray hurts up to an hour later.
- When you arrive at the police station, don't fall out of the caged truck completely naked and covered in piss. We don't care what you've been rolling in - we have a job to do.
- Don't spend two hours yelling, jumping up and down and punching a cell window. You will only go to jail tired and sore.
And for the love of God, if the police say they're simply going to charge you and take you home, don't bung it on. Then you wouldn't have to worry about those last four points.
On the upside, I had fun today unlike the clown who was high on meth and tried on take 4 coppers on. How bout you? The secondary capsicum spray contamination was a bit ordinary, but I totally felt like high-fiving everyone back at the station. I love it when I help people. :)

Please help me. I am a networking moron.
I've got this Buffalo ethernet converter that everyone says is so easy to set up with the xbox 360, but of course I can't get it to fucking work. I've done all the setup on the device, yet the 360 won't recognize it. I have no idea what is going on. Do I have to manually assign addresses on the xbox? And if so what address? I'm going to shoot myself in one hour if I can't figure this out. Any tips out there? please?
