Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Nov 16, 2007 6:36am PSTGood news everyone, in terms of the week, it's time for the boss battle. Wouldn't that be awesome if you did actually have a boss battle and got to leave early? I'll make sure to have that happen if I'm ever king of the world. So did you catch the Ghostbusters news? I'm scared to get excited for a licensed game, but this, this I could be pretty alright with. Don't forget to check out the latest contest. It's for the photoshoppers in the house, but if you've got ideas for other contests or promotions around here then drop me a line.

The dialogue consists largely of statements that are incomprehensible, often delivered with timing that is apparently intended to indicate they are witty. All of the actors seem to have generated back stories for their characters that have nothing to do with one another... The population of America consists entirely of character actors with funny names. I'm not sure that by the end of the movie they have all met one another, even the ones in the same scenes together.

Also started mp last night and it's really addictive.
The experience levels and unlocks are a great way to keep the weapons and features fresh for a while and the starting selection is decent enough. Had no trouble competing on some pub servers for a couple hours and made some Sergeant level before I had to log off for the night.
I like how killing higher level enemies gets you more experience (is that right? it seemed like that was the case.) There are plenty of star-ranks playing even on pub servers and you can get through some of the early ranks pretty quickly by playing on a server with higher-ranked players.

If you're helping a medic build up an uber standing in front of the cabinet is mildly counterproductive. Here is why: You damage yourself by firing continuously without reloading. But the same thing that keeps you from reloading also heals you. When you are healed by the cabinet the uber doesn't build as quickly. Your goal should be to keep your health below 100% which is where the cabinet works against you.
I've seen standing next to the cabinet work more quickly. That way you can hit the cabinet if you need ammo but minimize the healing the cabinet does instead of letting the medic heal you.

Waffles and I built a small fortress in Dustbowl and had very little to do the rest of the match, so dancing ensued.

Anyone use that? It's a completely legal pacific islands root. I have trouble stressing out sometimes, and am looking for a nice legal way to relax. There are a ton of suppliers on the Intarwebs but I figured someone on the Shack has to have tried this and is able to suggest a site to order from.
Help me mellow out Shacks. :(

Rob Zombie uses his wife all the time...at least shes hot.
Kevin Smiths constant whoring of his wife is fucking annoying as hell, especially given that she isn't an amazing beauty but he tried forcing her ass into the "HOT CHICK SQUAD" in Strikes Back.
I know there are more examples...help.

Natural Field Turf - We decided to work our way from the ground up. Out of the bottle, it smelled much like fresh cut crash, and a bit like lime. Once drunk, there wasn't much of a taste. A very slight mixture of cologne and club soda. But if you were out and ate grass, you wouldn't notice much of a taste either.
Dirt - Dirt smelled strangely like incense, a light potpouri smell. But it looked like dirty water, or something you'd find in a truckstop bathroom. The taste didn't disappoint it's looks. The taste was just like one would expect gutterwater to taste like (unless you've tasted gutterwater. In which case, if you have, you can skip this one. Unless you like it, in which case you're just weird.)
Perspiration - I had trouble downing the rest of Dirt, but Perspiration seemed to give everyone else the most trouble. Smelling exactly like sweaty socks and jersies, it was difficult to get paste the smell and drink it. And when I did, it tasted very flat, almost noncarbonated. Just like sweat. Easily the worst soda I've had since Brussel Sprouts in 2005.
Sports Cream - After Perspiration, anything had to be better. Once the bottle was opened, sports cream smelled just like Pepto Bismal from last year's Thanksgiving pack. If it tastes anything like actual Sports Cream, I'll start buying it more often, because it was refreshingly minty. Not horrible, but not the best flavor.
Victory - Never knowing what the sweet taste of victory actually tastes like, I was excited to try this flavor. It smelled like a usual Jones Soda cream soda mixed with Fair smells. Cotton candy, Funnel Cakes, good times. I easily downed this flavor, and found it tasting just like a usual Cream Soda, with a bit more Cotton Candy taste than usual. I've been drinking Victory for years apparently!
While a few of these are drinkable without a problem, the rest have easily been some of the worst flavors I've had since the Thanksgiving pack of 2005. Being a new Jones Soda pack, I didn't know what to expect, and found I should've expect more of the same, with a little surprise in Victory. Worth the experience, would drink again A+++ (no, really, I wouldn't).
