Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jan 08, 2008 10:11pm PSTGood morning Shackers, hope the day finds you well and that all your FPS' are virtual. So Nintendo dropped more news about the Smash Bros and I'm glad to hear the hard working Olimar will be present. Hopefully it won't be his only appearance on the Wii. In other pretty notable news, EGM came out and named names in regards to editorially-reactive game publishers. So are you suprised by the actions, the names, or neither?

their explanation and setup for Portal
The date that the events of Portal take place aren't certain. We do know that GLaDOS says to Chell: "Are you trying to escape? [chuckle] Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What's going on out will make you wish you were back in here. I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what is going on outside. All I know is I'm the only thing standing between us and them. Well, I was. Unless you have a plan for building some supercomputer parts in a big hurry, this place isn't going to be safe much longer."
I think there is a big possibility that this was just deception and trash talk from GladOS, all the way through she was liyin and trash talking
what do you think ? are they taking her too seriously ?

All I've done is watch it a few times at all other times its in it's case and yet the DVD has "marks" on it.. no scratches tho. It screws up at the 39th minute on 3 different DVD players. Kaaaaahhhhhn.
I hope HD-DVD and BLURAY stand the test of time a bit better. I bet I could still watch my VHS Starwars Trilogy perfectly fine! Or at least I would be able to if I still had a VHS player o_O

I would rather not build a bulky HTPC to keep out with all of the other components so I am wondering what solutions others here might be using.

Are the mechanics behind combat significantly changed--meaning, "improved"--in this expansion? (It kind of sucked in the base game.)

i stopped at the butcher and got some awesome looking rib steaks last night and followed the procedure. i used dried thyme and minced garlic from a jar, but holy shit it was still so damn good. had some broccoli and scalloped potatos on the side.
so easy to do, i wonder how the results would be with a grocery store new york or something...

I'm trying to get this baby to run as smoothly as possible while still looking as good as possible. Here are my specs:
-Dual nVidia 7950GTX 512MB
-Core2Duo 6700 2.66GHz
-4 GB DDR RAM
-1920x1200 17" Monitor
So, is there a list someone could suggest that could give me a good resolution and settings approximation?
Thanks, Shack!

Saturday, January 12 at Telltale's office in San Rafael, CA (just north of the Golden Gate bridge)
We're looking for people to come into the office this Saturday and play through the latest in-development Sam & Max episode. This month we're working on episode 204, "Chariots of the Dogs," and it's one of my favorites of the season.
No experience with testing, playtests, or Sam & Max are required - anyone is welcome, regardless of what you know or what you've already played!
Anyone interested in coming by Telltale's office, playing through the latest episode, and sitting down with the design team to talk about your thoughts on the episode, please send me a shackmsg! The playtest starts around Noon on Saturday and goes until whenever people are finished or go home. There will be food provided (pizza or sandwiches or something).

I have to help a friend getting a new rig to replace his old one. It's been a while since I don't build neither my own of someone else's rig, mainly because I moved to the Mac and I've been using laptops for the last few years, and for home I have an iMac...
So far from reading the shack everyday I know that in the video card area I should go NVIDIA, and on processor I should go Intel Core 2 Duo because AMD has been surpassed.
Which is the best motherboard price/features wise I can get for my friend, a good tip on which core 2 duo would be nice too.
Muchas gracias por adelantado.
