Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jan 18, 2008 6:07am PSTGood to see you, welcome to another episode of This Olde Chatty. First up, we'll take a look at Capcom and their plans for an updated 2D Bionic Commando, and it's high chances to make your nether region tingle. Next we'll step over to community news, and Nick will tell us about the valiant Shacknews community's latest battle in the war against the foul Valve players. After that up we turn to the community and ask what they're playing for the weekend, and what's the deal with it. Is it good or wack? Back to you, Bob.

Sender's Comment
We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the status of the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Wii replacement discs. The game has been approved by Nintendo and is currently in manufacturing. We expect to have the replacement discs available in February. Once we have the discs, we will contact you and then proactively send you a prepaid return envelop with a game exchange claim form. You should return the completed form with your current copy of the game. Once we receive a completed claim form and game, we will send you the replacement disc. We thank you for your patience and support.

ErikJ and I have been chatting today about another scrim against valve this evening.
Its not 100% certain that they will be able to field 12 players, but he said he'd berate them all until they got 12 (or at least close).
It'd be on the valve server again (so soureTV would be avaiable!), and at 6pm Pacific.
Who else is available at 6pm Pacific to play?

That is to say, my old 4th Generation 40 GB died on me, and I was able to get it returned within my replacement plan for an iPod Classic 80 GB.
My question for the shack is:
Do any stores accept receiptless returns? I have an iPod shuffle and it so far meets all my needs. My 40 GB was broken for a while, and I've just been using this shuffle and I feel like it's plenty. Soooo... what do I do with a brand new shrinkwrapped still-with-replacement-receipt iPod?
I think I heard Wal Mart accepts returns without receipts ("It was a gift") but I'm not sure...?

I did this in a match this morning and had to dub the replay into a movie. I did a suicide rush against a Malphas, and lived.
To put it in perspective, I'm using a free unit. To get that Malphas Demon, that player's team had to find a hell scar, clear the elite mobs off of it, build a hell shrine on it, defend said shrine, and then that player had to get 15 killing blows on other players and spend them at that shrine on the Malphas.
The Malphas got two souls during the fight from the guys I jumped over, healing him. He also had a healer standing behind him. The guys in front of me either died or ran off.
Savage 2 is awesome.

I thought it was always communicated to us that they spent all their time balancing the fuck out of it and making it perfect. Yet they need to start tweaking the hell out of it? I'm confused.

Technically for me it's Savage 2 but since I preordered it's more of a deferment.
But I am getting the new Advance Wars on Monday!

Once again I come to tell you of the AU Steam Group, with 10 members and counting. Not a bad turnout so far with more joining every day. Think of it as your local internet e-pub: Full of drunks with lots of violence. Last Friday Night Shackbattle we were arguing about what we were drinking even before the games began. I'm still hungover, it was awesome.
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/aussieshackers <--- took me ages to photoshop that Maarten pic :(
We're getting some really good local games of TF2 down here thanks to this, and it's also good to jump on Dallas or 69 as a few of us are figuring out.
As usual, just reply to this thread with your SteamID or send me a Shackmessage. My ID is 'tastywheatus' because some faggot took TastyWheat.

They were supposed to be there between 8&5 today and my wife, who stays home to make sure she doesn't miss them, gets a automated message saying sorry we missed you call back to reschedule. Then she gets the runaround about how they cant get anybody there until next week some time.
They did the same thing earlier in the week, when she was told to be there all day on Wednesday, which she was, and got the automated message saying sorry we missed you on TUESDAY. It was then rescheduled to today.
What can I do though, It's either them or Time Warner for internet. There has to be something else.
Not a bad ride as many have put it, but meh? There is no closure. Oh well.

I'll be 3rd wheel in a 20 gallon batch tomorrow (2beersx10gal), and the primary participants aren't sure what sounds good. Any ideas? Bear in mind that there's already a fair amount of the following on tap:
-Russian Imperial Stout
-Winter Warmer Ale
-Milk Chocolate Stout
-Oatmeal Stout
-Rye Pale Ale
-some kinda lager (supposed to be a ripoff of Negro Modello)
-Chocolate Porter
-Nut Brown Ale
-some kinda Double IPA
Help me, please!

I want to join a mod team to beef up my portfolio and help make a cool game. How am I meant to do this when every mod team wants to play pro developer and hold on to their project for years before releasing "version 1.0!" that plays like shit because it was never tested by the public?
