Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Oct 30, 2007 4:26am PDTHowdy everyone. Not everything will show up in stores today, but we're looking at releases of Guitar Hero III, Hellgate London, Timeshift, Disgaea PSP, Virtua Fighter 5 and the Witcher this week. Speaking of Hellgate, it's good to see that they will keep on polishing it, though I have to wonder if that will be enough. And it looks like Orange Box for the 360 has been patched, so did it do the trick and smooth out multiplayer? Maybe its your game that isn't up to snuff in Team Fortress 2? Well, thekidd has put together an exhaustive class guide and it might be what you need to bring that A game. Do it for the monitors, who are still alive.

Say you're just moving out of mommy and daddy's house and into your own apartment. You are single, maybe living by yourself or with a friend or something. What sorts of brands do you go for?
Now say you're getting married and moving into your first home with your wifey. You're a bit more financially stable (plus, people are going to buy you presents and stuff) What kinds of things do you "upgrade" first? What kind of brands do you get now that you have a bit more money and can splurge on nicer stuff?

In a brilliant move by NBC executives they have pulled off all NBC clips from all the shows off of youtube since they along with Fox are going to start their own really awesome client call HULU....what the fuck. HAHAH, besides the fact that they are slamming iTunes pricing model they are moving into delusional territory. Look, I may drink some of the Apple Koolaid but what good do they think they are doing by taking their shows off of itunes? I mean people use itunes and they'll buy the shitty quality episodes off of it and that is money that NBC would have never gotten prior to this....but now they think they can launch something called HULU and make it work better? People are just going to get them off Torrents now in HD!!
It doesn't matter if HULU is in fact a great video delivery client or it gives me a blowjob. What do tons of people use today, itunes and youtube. To pull out of this is just making me laugh.
tl;dr - NBC is dumb.

What's your favorite programming language? Why is it your favorite programming language? How does it compare to something like C#?
I'm asking this because some of the people I work with seem dead set on using a particular programming language, but can't really explain WHY that language is better.
And yes, mine is C# because of the way it does object oriented programming in the .NET framework... such as delegates and multiple inheritence... but that's just my preference.

The Titan is fun, because the line to it is right next to the shitty go-kart place.
While having a real life latestchatty.x while waiting for the awesomeness of the rollycoster, I saw something pretty funny.
I had been taking pictures of the underage girls like I a good shacker, but I lost most of those on the Mr. Freeze. Anyway, I tried my damndest to get a picture of this girl. She was just riding along in her go-kart, talking on the phone.
I was laughing my ass off trying to explain it, and I WAS SOOO CLOSE to getting a picture of this dumb little girl on the phone in a go-kart, it would have trumped my truck across three spaces picture.
Anyway, I laughed, and you should too!

His routines are exactly how i imagine Rosewood sounding like, for some reason. Lots of very random tangential rants. Anyone heard this guy much?
Definitely not my favorite, but he's better than a lot of the others i've heard on that station.

I think physics engines and graphic engines have developed to the point that with some care and thought a company could really knock a game like this out of the park. I mean, implement a robust and deep lightsaber system that obeys the laws of physics, throw in some beautiful graphics with a serious lighting engine (Gears of War, U3, Crysis engines). Then build the weapon combat around the lightsaber combat and the force powers. Throw in a nice multiplayer component, and of course an R rating (for realistic decapitations and limb slicings). How can they go wrong.
I dont know, I just missing playing capture the flag with force powers, having someone take your flag, turn on force speed and then use force jump to literally jump 300 yards across the map, only to be intercepted at the final moment by an opposing Jedi who force grabs him and stops his jump mid air, sending him and the flag plummeting to his doom. Oh the memories.
I know Force Unleashed is coming out, and it is implementing several of this things that I have requested, but I thought I read that it was a multiplatform title (possibly even a PS2 version), so how great will it actually be. I also think its a single player focused game as opposed to having a robust multiplayer component. Im sure it will be great, but comon, just give us Jedi Knight 3 and be done with it.
So i recently splurged and went for the Rega P1 record player, after much debate and research, feeling that for what i wanted at a reasonable price...this was my choice.
Anyway, I am now at a loss for a good set of speakers...i am going to be honest and say that I am a complete dunce at audio. Please help me out! I have a great record player and no sound and no ideas. Suggestions? Comments? Inquiries? Insults? Help a sista out.

Simply amazing. Best screens I've seen of the demo so far. They are like paintings with the color arrangement, balance and everything just right.
