Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Oct 22, 2007 6:41am PDTSo I picked up my first XBL games this weekend, Carcassonne and Geometry Wars. I really enjoy being able to crank out some games against the Carcassonne AI... However, trying to play a ranked match is like the anti-Halo, I couldn't find a single player. I'll probably head over to ThomW's GameWith.Us and try to find players to sate my German e-boardgame fetish. So did you see Faylor's game release schedule for the week? If you feel like you're not in touch with your inner release list, this is a great chance to fix that. Upcoming week's Shackbattles:
- The ShackWest TF2 players will have open practice from 9-11pm PST on Tuesday and Thursday. Info is in the Shacknews Steam Community
Daily Filter: Planetside 2, Deadlight
Weekend PC digital deals: strategy-o-rama
38 Studios, Harry Potter Kinect - Shacknews Daily: May 25, 2012
Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again

Getting R&C tomorrow but I was also thinking of picking this up too. I wasn't really intwerested as I've never played that kind of game before, but it seems like a great deal for the price seeing as it comes with the eye toy and the reviews are pretty good. Also I can play on-line so no one needs to know (except you guys). Are these card games are stupid as they look?
I'm also thinking they might have more eye toy content this time with the PSN and all, and I think my wife might like it. She likes the Wii and the DS.

So the single end I plug into my sound card, but where do the red and white plugs go on the back on my stereo? I've got about 20 different plugs it can fit into. I want to use the dolby 5.1 surround sound but I'm not sure where to plug it in?
Anyone?

What is wrong with the developers of these games? STOP trying to make political statements. That's like reading a comic book or watching a movie that just wants to dump it's ideology on you. I want entertainment, not your damned opinion.
I really hope this trend doesn't pan out and devs start realizing we don't give a shit about their political views. Make games. Save your political views for Starbucks mocha-latte roundtable discussions and goatee-trimming seminars.

I was working hard on my Dick in a Box costume when i found out that not one but two other guys are already doing Dick in a Box for the Halloween party I'm going to.
Do I stick to DiaB or start working on Plan B's? I'd make a good Phoenix Wright, and I'll have a date so couple costumes are also an option.

Anyone know if it's possible to re-sync just a single album on my iPod? I downloaded an album off of iTunes, had it automatically put it on my iPod, but when I go to play it, it refuses to play half the album (as if it is corrupt). It plays perfectly fine on my PC, however.

Granted, I didn't give Crysis much of a chance, but equally fair, I don't think there's a chance I'll play it instead of TF2, especially given the load times. That, and the whack hoops I had to jump though to get my Gamespy id properly set up. I managed to notepad it away this time, though, just in case.
Many thanks to bcyde, since it was his initially,and was kind enought o pass it along.

I know that unused memory is wasted memory, but I'm wondering if like...I installed it wrong.
Using the exact same type of RAM (timings, brand, clock speed - I had to clock my original RAM back to its' original speed because I overclocked it), I just added another two slots. Then I overclocked them all back up to what the old RAM was at previously.
I just wanna know if I installed it correctly. System says 4096 MB of system RAM, just the percentage of RAM being used from when I had 2 GB is the same as the percentage used now, when I have 4 GB.
