Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Feb 19, 2008 2:03am PSTGood morning Shackers, let's get the day started. We're making a few changes around here, as articles now have tags which can be used for searching and sorting purposes. If you're looking at the front page, check out the news by category, maybe you'll find some stuff you didn't even realize you were looking for. If nothing else, it would be hard to go wrong with trying this one.
So everyone loves mods right? As in game-changing additions? But there's so many, for so many different games, that it can be hard to personally try out every one. So maybe you could name your favorite and tell us why in this thread.

March 15th
My fiancée Miresse and I are throwing a Shackmeet to celebreate the release of Super Smash Brothers Brawl. dahanese is helping organize this shindig so you know it will be awesome.
It's in Novato which is about 25 minutes north of San Francisco. I have plenty of floor room to crash and you're welcome to if you want to drink all night.
There will be a large TV, Smash Brothers, plenty of seating and lots and lots of booze. I think Smash Brothers even has a tournament mode where you can have any number of players play in a ladder, which could be awesome. I also have a full Rock Band set so that's something to do if we get bored of Smash Brothers.

How do I make a frozen banana?
OK - duh, I know you put it in the freezer, peeled, and possibly cut. But should I put it in a ziplock bag? Wrapped in tin foil? Whats the accepted method.

- Fixed Badlands exploits and missing textures
- Fixed tv_enable resetting maxplayers value
- Fixed a case where a spy stabbing from the front of a player would score a backstab
- Fixed stats being reported incorrectly for some players
- Dropped weapons now replenish half of your max ammo when picked up
- Added exec'ing a cfg\<class>.cfg file on the client when you select a class to play (for real this time!)
- Reverted mp_forcecamera changes from previous release and set TF2 default back to 1
- Reverted "immunité" references with "ÜberCharge" in French version
Thank goodness they finally fixed that damned frontstab bug. The 1/2 max ammo replenish sounds like an interesting change. How much ammo do the dropped weapons replenish now? I don't remember.

any of you guys have much luck with GM tickets and item related issues? Long story short: kara cleanup last night, downed nightbane, http://thottbot.com/i28599 drops, i have winning roll. The raid leader didnt turn master looter on until the mob was dead, so some jackass with an autoloot mod runs up to grab his badges, and ends up looting both the chest and another bop epic.
we had the whole raid put in tickets about who the loot should go to, but I havent heard anything yet. anyone have this happen and get a positive result?

I grabbed the standard games. (Vegas. GoW, Mass Effect, Crackdown, Dead Rising)
What are shackers playing on live these days? COD4?
My limited experience with Live thus far in GoW has been a cesspool of assholes and 8 year old kids. (not too surprising with an older A list game)
GRAW is old, and I didn't really see too much talk about GRAW2, so I'm guessing that isn't the game of choice around here anymore.

So my 360 died in October of last year, and so i figured i'd use my EB extended warranty and swap it over for a brand new unit. At the time EB said they didn't have any, and so they added me to a database and said they'd call me when new stock arrive.
I waited a few weeks and there was no call, so i called them myself and was informed that they had just sold the last unit about 20 minutes before I rang. Those fuckers lied and never bothered to ring me to let me know they had new stock.
Now it's February, and I still don't have a new 360 because they don't have any new units from MS. But today I get a call from EB, letting me know that MS has told them that they can no longer offer the extended warranty on 360's and instead all dead units have to be replaced by second hand stock or sent back to MS for a refurb.
I would have had a new unit months ago if those fuckers rang me. And i'd have a new unit now if MS weren't such a big bunch of faggots. Now I'll have to get my 360 refurbed and continue to put up with it's shit DVD drive that won't read discs 90% of the time, and RROD's that will no doubt haunt me forever.
I'm tempted to sell this shit and buy a PS3.
