Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jan 21, 2008 5:07am PSTSo how is this Monday finding Shackers? Faylor brought us the week's release list, and I couldn't help but notice that the new Advance Wars DS is out, hopefully leading to many a Shackbattle with the new freshly implemented online Wifi Connection. Also popular around these parts has been the Burnout series, so you might be interested in Remo's review of Burnout Paradise.

I'm considering getting an iPod Touch. This is where you talk me out of spending money on something I don't need... or tell me why it's awesome and I should have one.
Go!

My wife's PC has been getting regular bluescreen "IRQ is not less than or equal. I have run memtest for a couple hours with no problems. I upgraded her drivers to nforce_winvista32_15.08_english and 169.25_forceware_winvista_32bit_english_whql. I also made sure all the available updates where installed from windows update.
Any thoughts on what to try next?

Nice. After almost giving up hope, I finally got my White Elephant on Friday. I'd rave about the slow bastards at Canada Post, but one of their huskies probably died or something on the way here, so I'll forgive.
Sweet, apparently I get some handmedowns from Steve + Shugamom!:

Of course the money would come in handy, but Ithe fact that it's making me think about all the things I could do with it (though I'll most likely put it towards our house) makes me feel like I'm profiting from her death.
Do I just get over it and take it as one last gift from her? I think she'd like me putting it towards the house, rather than frittering it away on little things. God this whole post is one big cliche.

I've been converted. I never thought I'd say this, as I previously hated Schick, but the new Schick Titanium blades with the edging blade on the back, and not just the normal Titanium blades, are the best razors I've ever used. This is the closest shave I've ever gotten from a cartridge blade.
As a note, I like the Mach3. I hate the Gillette Fusion. It feels like its pulling my hair out, not cutting it. I also hated previous Schick blades as they tended to get gunked up with hair, making shaving and cleaning a pain. The new blades are redesigned with a gap at the bottom to prevent the gunking.
Thus, the Quattro with the new Titanium blades has surpassed the Mach3 for me.

If it will run decent, where is the cheapest place to score it? I'm not too sure I can con my way in to saying I'm eligible for a student discount, but I surely don't want to pay $250 for something I might not decide to use all the time. I'm currently on XP w/ all the fixins, but it's just getting a little old.

I own a PS2 with GH1, 2, 3, and 80s. Also I, with no intentions of buying a nexgen console anytime soon, purchased Rock Band. I have a few games for the PS2, but mostly we just have parties and play GH/RB. So now my problem is, can't download songs to play.
Should I buy a 360 and start over?
Or, should I buy a PS3 80GB?
If I buy the PS3, I can use my PS2 (USB same hardware that ships for PS3) rock band hardware and just buy the game only. Also, I hear you can use your GH controllers with an adapter. Also, I can play the few other games I have for PS2, GTA etc.
If I buy the 360, I can play online with friends (all own a 360 who play RB/GH). But, I have to start over on all hardware. I would have to buy Rock Band/GH all over again and the wireless adapter etc.

Shack Lime Bowl semifinalists CltcPrd and FrayLo have their game remaining after a failed attempt over the weekend (http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16059597).
In the Lime Losers tournament, we have Lunatic Angelic and Deathlove waiting and ready to play for the losers championship and 5th place overall.
Finally, in the 9th-12th seed bracket, I'm not actually sure of the status. Sylvanus eeked out a win against mancide and is ready to play for 9th place overall, but it looks like there was a disconnect in the Jedi_27 / pandastrong game where Jedi was winning, but the game was awarded to pandastrong. What's the story here, guys?

I thought there would be quite a few sites regarding plans for doing a 'visit every baseball stadium in 30 days' type deal. I thought a few travel agencies would even getting in on the action.
I can't seem to find shit regarding anything recent. Found a couple articles about doing it in 2000 and 2003, but they were all post trip write-ups. I was expecting to find a few fan sites with all sorts of plans and windows (30 days, 45 days, 60 days, etc...) but I'm coming up blank.
Man, this is gonna suck, I'm gonna have to find a universal schedule, find out who is where and when, and later start estimating whether you can get a few day games in, then travel to catch a night game in another city (NY to Boston or Cleveland / Pittsburgh) in time. On top of this, I have no clue about how hard it is to get into or out of a stadium from certain airports.
For instance, could I see a Mets game one night, followed by a Yankees day game, then a Boston late start nighter? I haven't dealt with NYC traffic in ages, is it even feasible to haul ass between the two in time?
The logistics of this is going to be a pain in the ass, I guess the NYC / Boston / Baltimore swing is going to be a killer because the traffic / air schedule.
I thought this would be a much more common vacation idea and plans would be posted every year on a few baseball enthusiast sites. What the fuck have I gotten myself into?
