After watching the latest South Park, with the depiction of gamers as being on the fringe of society, not to mention the ending, do any of you feel insulted in retrospect? it seems like the episode was portraying gamers as welcomed by everyone, as the children and even the celebrity world gave accolades to the guitar heroes, but the ending seemed to bring to light the hidden fear of the two children, (and gamers in general) that playing games was ultimately a fruitless activity.

So all of these new titles are coming out, I can't keep up with them or beat them before the next flood is released, this week even more shit is coming out, I haven't even finished BioShock yet, and what am I doing?

PLAYING OBLIVION WHAT THE FUCK

Of course I never really got into Oblivion when it first came out either. Ever since I installed this DarNified UI mod the game looks like it was actually made for a PC and I can't put it down. :( I am also horribly, horribly guilty of getting a free copy of ArmA from Dslyecxi, playing the shit out of it single-player to get good enough to join in on ShackTac battles without killing my squad, and then not signing up. PLEASE FORGIVE ME I PROMISE I'LL SIGN UP.

I need to quit my day job just to keep up with this shit, it's ridiculous. What does your backlog of games look like so far?

Fans of the Lord of the Rings Movie Soundtrack

The Return of the King Complete Recordings are going to finally be released on November 20th.
http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Return-Complete-Recordings/dp/B000V6BE6M

For those of you that haven't heard of the Complete Recordings, they are the -full- soundtracks to the movies. You won't find any edited, shortened, 12 track discs here. But you will find the entire score to the movies. And I mean the entire score. The FOTR:CR for example had Gandalf humming and singing his little tune in the Shire, Merry and Pippin singing their tavern songs, and Bilbo singing as well.

Each complete recordings set also comes with a DVD of the movie's scores in 5.1 surround sound. If you are a fan of the LOTR music, consider getting these recordings, they are absolutely phenomenal.

Went to look at xbox 360's at costco (mainly because of their return/exchange policy) unfortunately they seem to still be selling the old models without HDMI =(

This is basically all they had on hand at the store. HD AV component cables. Is there another place with exchange/replacement policies similar to Costco to buy these?

Re: Nutts in Butts

This has spawned a bit of a craze around here since I introduced it to some friends, and they've come up with this wonderful song to commemorate this piece of film:

I went ahead and bought Wii Play today since I needed another Wii remote and a new game. Holy shit, that thing is fun. Some of the games are lame - like Find Mii. But yeah, Tanks! and Charge! are worth the price alone.

The best part is my wife completely loves it - we sat there for hours with friends playing it. She was this close to sending me to Wal-Mart to get a second nunchuck for the Tanks! game (only thing open at this hour). Our casual gamer friends over for the evening are now obsessed with getting a Wii.

Also - holy shit the Tanks! game has 100 levels.

Was just in some games with crimson_x, genjuro, Nihilist, MurrayTheSkull and Slice to name a few - these guys understand the medic relationship. They hang back when they need a heal, don't charge in recklessly, and let me use em as a meat shield when the shit hits the fan. \m/

Two TF2 deathcam screenies from today.

bcyde in flight on Hydro: http://www.neogeographica.com/temp/bcyde2.jpg

bcyde and some other guy were tearing me up as pyros. I thought the other player's name was Thresher GDI but I don't see anyone in the Shack group (or on Steam in general) with that name.

And here's a man-train that steamrolled me on Granary, with Grimp bringing up the caboose: http://www.neogeographica.com/temp/grimp.jpg

So, just got a weird request. Girl wants to get a tattoo of some music on her arm. Notes. Sheet music. And she wants me to write the tune which will get tattooed on her arm.

I'm flattered, obviously. Still kind of weird though, and what about copyright considerations? It would be pretty funny if in the future I used that tune on an album and then this girl got sued for infringement because she had it on her arm, haha.
