Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Dec 18, 2007 10:31pm PSTActual physical proof of the Duke? It had to turn up eventually, but I'll still have to pinch myself when it's shown. And the PS3 coming through with some of it's more unique and long promised features in the form of playing PS1 games remotely over the PSP is pretty great too.
Keep watching the frontpage, as later today the holiday contest should go up. I give a forecast of most likely thinking it's a great idea with an outside chance of considering it ridiculous. Which is really how it should be, no?

Seriously, I've been waiting for both TF2 and DNF since they were all announced. That's pretty much a decade of waiting. Whenever I was bored, I would check Valve's TF2 page to see if they updated it with any news, which they never did. I also remember lurking the 3DRealms forums for a while finding whatever information I could about DNF. I still have my PCGamer magazine about DNF. And now, it's all coming together.
George, please let this teaser be part of a master plan to finally release DNF in the next couple months. If this gets delayed any further (as in delayed to 2009), I will be crushed and will become a scientologist.
(at the very least, please release Duke3D on Xbox live arcade)

I can't make it colorful, so I am going to write a long line to make it stand out more. I miss the color palette. Or colour if you are in the UK.

Is anyone still playing?
I know Ebu and I are, and 2 other shackers who I can't remember their shacknames are. Is anyone else? For All the hype Bantis, why aren't you playing still? =(
A shack group would be nice, especially since we are almost into our 40's now.
If anyone is still playing on Antonia Bayle and would like to join our guild, please join channel shacknews and I'll invite you if I'm on. =)
Graphics aside, it is a fun game still, and the Magic The Gathering card game they have integrated with it is actually fun and unique too.
Join us! please

So do I spend the extra money over the next 12 months to get the higher rez or do I get the cheaper one? They cut the price on the 720p set by $500 bucks today which made this decision harder for me...

The illustrious RomSteady is in town for Christmas and he wants to hang out! It's going to be a good time. I realize that some of you can't make it because of the holidays, and that sucks, but you should have known that anything Shack related holds priority over anything else. Duh.
SO with that said, here are the details:
When? Friday, December 21 (yes, that is two days from now)
Where? The Pie Pizzeria, not the crappy location, but the downtown one by the University of Utah
What time? 7:00pm!
Is it gonna own? You bet yer bippy, son.

1.) Chris Remo, I was told that MS has the publishing rights to Mass Effect on the 360, but that does not mean they have the rights to 360 exclusivity. Jade Empire was a 2K Games release on PC. There's no reason to believe that EA will be satisfied with a huge title having a limited market.
2.) maulla CoD4 runs better on the PS3. I've seen the two as well. It DOES NOT mean that it runs poorly on the 360. It just runs better.
3.) DinK - MS is the one who is seemingly content with not actively trying to retain exclusives. There was a fairly big discussion about this earlier stemming from an article from a Newsweek guy that I don't care for as a writer. Some of his assumptions were wrong and he didn't even understand the Bungie/MS agreement, but he did have a couple of points. This goes into a long discussion that I really don't care to go over again. Look, I'm not saying one system is better than the other. What I said was if I had to pick only one, it'd be the PS3. I like both and am lucky enough own both of them.

anyway, it's very nice. I got the Aperture science parking permit and the Glados greeting cards. They are SUPER think and glossy, very high quality. I'm really impressed.
I am considering giving them to my family just to hear them ask what the enrichment center is.
tldr: Valve store stuff is high quality when it finally arrives

I couldn't find all the secrets (it's been 10 years) so I cut out the parts of me running through the same rooms over and over again. It's still fun.

Only one month to go until the concert! I've set up a Shackmeet event so those who wish to attend can express their interest (and make organizing things easier for me):
http://www.shacknews.com/shackmeet/events.x?id=4432
This is the first time this particular concert will be performed in DFW and there aren't a whole lot of scheduled performances in this area. It is essentially a full-fledged concert featuring music from various video games including Final Fantasy, Zelda, Castlevania, and Metal Gear Solid, and the shackers who have attended it in other parts of the country have had nothing but good things to say about it. As someone who loves video game music for some odd reason, this has me ecstatic.
I will be working out the details as the event approaches, but for now plan to be at the bass hall by 7:30 PM (possibly earlier; I've never been to a real concert before). Car pooling to and from the event is a possibility. There is also the train that runs through the city, but I don't know much about it. We may do something for dinner if I can find a nice inexpensive restaurant in the area, but it will of course be optional. I don't think there are any dress codes, but I'd probably wear at least a nice shirt and relatively tame jeans.
Tickets for the concert range from $35 to $65. I'm going for the $65 Orchestra section, but you don't have to.
