Gonna Blast You (link to this video)
Can't you just see NastyJack hunched over his keyboard, green tendrils gripping an Earthling peripheral tightly as he rips into another helpless team? Those UFOs in Texas? That was Jack's LAN party coming to town.

This Never Works (link to this video)
While the preceeding clips contain some of the Shacknews community's finest moments, they represent rare moments of clarity in the chaos of TF2 play. mrwolf710 gives us a more accurate representation of daily Shack-server stupidity.

I put the second half of the Valve/Shack scrimmage rematch here: http://www.stage6.com/user/jbaxter/video/2112906/Valve-vs--Shack-scrimmage-(second-half)

But the first two videos show just how stupid crits are. If your doing well, you dont need a magical extra boost, it just screws over anyone unlucky enough to be near you.
