Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Feb 14, 2008 2:46am PSTGood morning Shackers, how you doin'? I'll start off bearing fruits of the chatty, if that would please you. First off, if you don't have the fullest appreciation for Team Fortress 2's Scout, then perhaps these guide videos will be of some use. Then, Shackers comes through with some desktop decoration for No More Heroes fans, or perhaps the newly announced Red Alert 3. And of course, a few people are looking forward to today's TF2 update.
Our blog brings all the gamers to the yard:

Every unit has secondary functions. The allied tank for instance is able to concentrate radar beams to be used as a scouting unit
-Altough not visible on the screens, there’s going to be massive damaging in RA3, with weapons carving colossal craters into the ground
-Most structures are placeable on water for extra cost
-Ships can only “landâ€Â/leave shore on sand, so its crucial to defend these areas
-The article writer claims that the impressive graphics don’t shine through the screens. In his opinion, graphics are much better compared to CnC3, he’s especially flabbergasted by the animations
-The Russians have a submarine called “ Akula†which isn’t simply deadly against ships, but is able to train divers as well
-The Bullfrog transport ship doesn’t have to set shore, its able to “shoot†out the units it’s carrying
-The Japanese Seawing bomber is able to transform into a submarine simply by falling into the water
-Sea battles will be crucial in this game
-The Japanese enroll a water-affin tank called “Tsunami†which is both heavily armoured and powerful, and slower on land than in water
-The campaign can be co-operatively played with a friend from start to finish. If theres no one to play it with, you can choose between an array of AI allies to fight the war
-SC2s lead designer worked on RA3 before he went to Blizzard
-Gameplay will be much slower, an aspect, along with the beta, that the team concluded from TW. The writer confirms this slowdown.
-Enemy soldiers freeze upon Allied dogs’ barking
-The Mobile V4 is able to swim as well, but its main draw points is the precise and area- effective attack.
- The Russians’ submarine, the Stingray Nasad, sports tesla-launchers, and is a rather small, but fast unit
-The writer praises the smooth animations, explosion effects and water in general again and again, its crazy!
--Live-action FMVs are back mixed with CGI and outdoor scenes
-The writer holds that RA3 wont be as good as SC2, but damn close, and even better than RA2
-No Yuri
-Atmosphere is top notch
- Expansion pack is already planned
This is my first post on the shack by the way.

Interesting the lead designer on StarCraft2 worked on RA3, before heading to blizzard. Writers says won't be as good as SC2, but close. That sounds good? doesn't it?

I'm using XP Pro SP1, I need to install a program that requires SP2. For reasons we'll leave unsaid I can't just use the regular SP2 package and install it. I've tried.
My question, is there a way to fool a program into thinking I have SP2? I'm hypothesizing that installers check the registry for evidence that SP2 was installed, and with some manual entries I can bypass this.

Also, Windows Vista is awful. I thought this new operating system was supposed to be more secure and less prone to being fucked to hell by malware/shitware.

He has Red Sox tickets but is looking at Yankee tix. It looks like he is either going to pay $10 a ticket for bleacher seats or $150-$200 for damn near anything else. I said he should just get the bleacher seats and then show up and buy some off a scalper.
He wants to go to Liberty Island, even if it is a total cluster fuck. I know they don't let you go inside anymore and I know the number that get to go is limited. Anyone know more about Lady Liberty?
What is a good resource for finding out what Broadway shows are playing / getting tickets. I know certain shows are hard to get tickets for but surely w/ 90 days notice he can get something decent.
I suggested he go to The Met and try to go to the top of the Empire State Building just because. What other cool museums / awesome sites should he take in whilst in the Big Apple.
And finally, what about ol Bean town? What are some of the "omfg if you are in Boston and you don't eat at ______ then you are a fucking idiot" restaurants/bars/dives?

Is the OEM Vista Ultimate limited by anything? I have a chance to get a cheap copy of the Ultimate upgrade I believe. Does it need anything or would it still work with the clean install trick? Is there a problem with reactivation or anything with an OEM?

I've answered all the questions sent to my over SM from the other day...anyone else have any:
- problems with service?
- problems with billing?
- problems with your device?
Let me know, if they're applicable I can get them entered into a special ticketing system specifically for employees helping customers with problems.

Any good pages for general strategy in this game? I like it but it is a far cry from any other RTS I have ever played so I'd like to do some reading to give me a push in the right direction.

So I'm in the lab right now and the crazy scientist/chick has left the room, and I got the achievement, but am I done? Is there anything I need to look at to progress the story? If I'm done that seems like a strange way to end a game
Thanks in advance :D

I've noticed that TF2 hasn't received lots of CTF love for some reason. I'm wondering if this is a result of the poor selection of CTF maps or if it's a result of enjoying CP more.
I'm curious to know because I'm thinking of making a custom map. What would you rather see?

Who all has tried out Eye of Judgement on PS3? I used to be a diehard M:TG junkie and I just heard about this game for the first time today -- I'm curious to see what Shackers think of it. I've been toying with the idea of getting a PS3 (I'm also a long-time Tekken enthusiast, don't want to miss out on Tekken 6), and a good CCG that I can play online might be the push that sends me over the edge...

Weeeeee! After upgrading to v1.02 and having the game crash all the time, and then upgrading to Vista Service Pack 1, everything is working again! I finally just OWNED the AI on the Backstab Medium map for the 1st friggin time.
