Weekend Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Nov 10, 2007 7:39am PSTHow about we get started with a fresh chatty for the weekend? So what is everyone playing over the next few days? Call of Duty 4 came in the mail, both the SP and MP seem fun enough. Tomorrow though, I'll embrace some quality nerdery and play Aberrant, a paper and pencil game. I do think one thing I miss out of most video gaming experiences is creating really unique, extended stories, so it's great to read stuff like this post by Goncyn. As far as non-video gamers go, who do we have around here? Friday was a pretty busy day, don't forget we have this week's Shackcast, Carlos' Weekly Roundup and the results to The Simpsons Parody contest. Have a good weekend!

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?

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.

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?

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:

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.

So yeah, worth the $10 if you already need another remote. I know the games are dinky but they're fun, especially for pulling in your casual gamer friends...

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/

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

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.
