Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Feb 05, 2008 6:31am PSTGood morning Shacknews, let's do this. So more info on Battlefield Heroes is coming out, and I must admit to being pretty psyched. I think regardless of how it plays out, it's great to see someone like EA experimenting with non-traditional games. Care to join the discussion?
So apparently there's a thing about voting in the US today? I'm sure there will be plenty of political discussion, so please do your best to keep it on the respectful side. Personally, I'm voting for Stewart/Colbert again. Or maybe Gloval/Hayes. I hear they're running on an ARMD platform!

Finally did Worlds Collide last night with my trusty fag pal Pandares. You know, the one that got podded like Pandares. Warped in all scary and shit because of the doomsday stories of it being hard and shit... well... i think i tanked most of it (if not all) on one repper. Why are people warning me for complete carnage each time i jump in something big prematurely (SP wise) and things end up being pisseasy? Next time i'll pull both factions at the same time. Maybe then we're up for a challenge.
Sadly the loot was shit. Salvage was shit too. Why do high quality lvl 4's have shit loot & salvage? :-(
TLDR: The WC mission was easy and fun but the loot was shit. Booo.

Sniper / Engineer - I can't decide which is more cowardly. On the one hand, the Sniper at least makes his own kills. On the other hand, the Engineer is sometimes seen out in the front lines trying to hide a sneaky teleporter behind enemy lines and shooting at things with his shotgun.
Demoman - He just gets to hang back and blow people up with stickies. Far less cowardly than the Sniper or Engineer, though.
Scout - All the Scout does is run around and avoid fighting. A great asset to the team, but also a bitch.
Heavy - Yes, he gets shot at constantly and gets right into the thick of it but he is always hogging the medic and can't go anywhere without being totally buffed by a medic all the time. This puts him right in the middle.
Spy - I know a lot of people think the spy is cowardly because he cloaks and stabs you in the back when you aren't looking but this is false. The spy has huge balls because he has to go deep behind enemy lines, most of the time knowing he won't be coming back.
Pyro - The Pyro has the same life expectancy as the Spy but the Pyro doesn't hide in the shadows, he just runs right in there burning everything.
Soldier - Takes balls to propel yourself through the air with your own rockets so that you may destroy all the enemies that your team mates can't reach.
Medic - Clearly the least cowardly. He doesn't even have a gun out most of the time and he's just out there in the shit HEALING HIS TEAM MATES. He deserves a medal.

so lets say I have an array of the main colors of the rainbow in order:
$colors = array('red','orange','yellow','green','light blue','dark blue','purple');
Now lets say I have a random array of *some* of the colors, and I want to order them in accordance to $colors:
$misc_colors = array('yellow','red','dark blue');
I'd like to reorder $misc_colors to red, yellow, dark blue.
is there an easy way to do this?

I've been tasked with created a table of contents / autorun start page for a manual on a CD. Though I'm really good with computers, I have zero knowledge of programming. For the most part, I can get by using Microsoft Publisher and googling things, but I keep running into one problem: How do you create relative links to folders/files? For instance, if I wanted to create a link that will show you all the files in a particular folder, I could do a link to "E:\Safety CD\Safety Manual", but that only works if I have a CD in the E drive (and would not work if somebody has a computer where the CD drive is the "D" drive). If I do a link to "Safety CD\Safety Manual", it will work initially but gets screwed up if you go to a different folder. It would seem that I need to set an anchor point or something that says "start here and all files/folders are based off of this starting point". Is there a way to do that?

So I'm having a hard time justifying a purchase of a 360. There have been two games that really gave me a big ol' boner to buy one. Dead Rising (I borrowed a friend's 360 for two weeks and played it front to back with 47/50 achievements when I finished) and now, Mass Effect.
But that's just it, I'd be buying it for one game. Later down the road, there's GTA4, and even later is Silent Hill 5 and Resident Evil 5, but my brain is saying "THREE FORTY NINE ONE GAME THREE FORTY NINE ONE GAME THREE FORTY NINE ONE GAME". CoD4 doesn't interest me, and wandering through EB looking at 360 games - nothing really caught my eye.
Most big name games come to the PC eventually, so should I just bite the bullet now or wait?

Pyrat XO reserve. By the makers of Patron. Excellent, smooth, not too pricey and even comes with a little metal zen buddah guy. I think this beats my mystery venzeualan rum for best ever. (yes theres better but not where better outweighs obscene price). I paid $30 for 750ml.

Know how yesterday I posted that I got my 360 back, but was suspicious because it had the same serial number, but thought maybe they just fixed my old one?
Apparently they did jack shit, because I'm still getting disc read errors and video corruption. Fucking Microsoft. >:(

A strange thing is happening on my Photoshop.
Everytime i use the selection tool to copy some part of an image and paste it in a new one, the pasted elements do not come fully opaque but a little bit transparent.
An example here:

Warping in a massive armada made up of two fleets (500+ ships total) into a pirate base from two different sectors because they were pissing me off is a great feeling.
So far I'm loving this game, even though I have a few minor complaints. Stardock is awesome though, so we should see plenty of updates to the game.
