Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Oct 08, 2007 4:28am PDTGood morning, Shacknews. Do any good gaming this weekend? Played C&C3 for 360 and wasn't impressed. I don't really understand who can play an RTS on the console, I felt about as accurate as a frat boy with a 40oz taped to each hand. But that's what rentals are for. So did you see our contests? Today is the last day for ET:QW story submissions, but there is also the Orange Box MS Paint contest going on now. And did you see submissions and winners for the Halo 3 screen shot contest? Normally we'll see a bit more space between contests, but look at that workload of a release calendar, it's delightfully taskalicious! Random Mod of the Day: For Homeworld 2, Star Wars: Warlords. Quality mod you know of that doesn't get the attention it should? Let me know!

The other rumour at this blog about L.A Noire seems to be correct. It's too big to fit on Xbox 360, plus some *really* cool details on the game.

shit like this, every week or so since school started this year:
Hello Mr. Fellow,
Just to keep you updated I wanted to drop you a note. jason is presently running a C on tests/quizzes and about a B- in class participation.
I know he can do much better than this. I do have extra help on Tues or Thurs mornings but honestly feel that he does not need this. He simply needs to spend more time sreviewing material, checking his notes, and following along in class. Progress reports will go out next week. IF you have any questions feel free to email or call.
Ms. Raphan
you think i am justified in messing with these clueless school people at this point?

After the big food thread this past weekend with sexninja's massive ninja burger and my mushroom burger that everyone made fun of, I think we should have a burger cook off. Everyone makes burgers one night, takes photos, posts them. The cook who makes the best looking burger wins a free porn avi... can get phil or maybe oatmela to pick it out. After sexninja showed me up, I am pretty motivated to make the most awesome burger ever.

I tried a couple pairs this weekend (Bose QuietComfort 2s/3s and some nice Audio-Technica ones) but couldn't make up my mind. And for the haters, I travel a lot (bus, train, plane, etc.) so buying these makes sense.
Anyone have a pair and really like them?

My god. I played the shit out of this game. It was before I had a soundcard, so I listened to Pearl Jam's "vs" album on repeat for hours while playing. The more I think about it, the more I find it interesting that the game was actually REALLY open ended, and this was almost 15 years ago. You suited up, chose your gear and chose your mission. After the briefing, once you were deployed you could approach your missions however you wanted. Usually the missions consisted of killing all NVC in the area, or liberating small villages and such.
Memories :D

Poor little kitty. Found a nice site on caring for abandoned kittens, mixed up some "kitten glop" as per their recommendations and she is sucking it down....

Looks like his wish was granted.
It's amazing going back and reading all of the comments about TF2 when it was first announced. It seems a few didn't even think that was in-game stuff, even though it looks even better now.
