Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Mar 17, 2008 5:00am PDTSo let's start this whole "week" thing, shall we? If you're going to be fully educated in regards to your next seven days, then hopefully the Shack will be key in achieving that. First off, you can learn about said week's new games via the Release List courtesy of Faylor. After that, you'll be quizzed on something entirely different by Nick with another course of Sunday School. Plus, sometimes you randomly get educated by just being a Shacker, like the other day when a nice lad from Valve dropped the 411 on how exactly medic healing works.

So, ever since i bought an app together with my gf we have been quite high energy consumers. Last time we got our annual setteling we kinda almost died so we did an experiment with turning off our pc's at night and not using the "sleep" modes anymore.
This seems to have worked yet i don't like turning on and off my precious pc all the time so i was wondering if anyone here recently built a power efficient game worthy pc.
I built one a few years back but everything seems to eat more and more power nowadays so i turn to you guys for help.

(Figured I'd repost on a weekday)
Food at a local pub probably then our place for some Wii/360 gaming. Smash Bros. and Rockband will probably be high in demand maybe NHL 08, CoD 4 or other games if there is a consensus.
We don't have a solid date but hoping for April or early May. The reason for this is due to a flood that happened in the condo that we are still awaiting repairs to the floor for. Once the new floors go in (which should be in the next couple of weeks) we can settle on a date well enough in advance.
At least sign up as maybe attending if you want to be SM'd for an update:

I am looking for a timezone app. Something that can keep time for at least 3 countries and also display on my desktop. Like "Active Desktop Calender" does.
I seem to remember seeing some shackers desktop screenshots with timezone clocks.
Anyone know of anything good?

Nevermind all of the problems they had getting there that was insane...
But did anyone else know that they saw a UFO right when they got into orbit? Buzz Aldren himself said it in this interivew (it was a recent one). He used some sort of code word to let NASA know they were staring right at a UFO, and he didnt want to say "holy fucking shit was is that" because so many people were listening and he didnt want NASA to make them turn around and come home. I love UFO's and stuff, but I've never had 100 percent proof from someone that credible. It blew my mind really.
For one, this was the first ship to be going to the moon, and according to Buzz there was nothing else on earth with technology like that. So basically, if that wasn't Aliens, it was some insane goverment project that even NASA didn't know about. It was nuts really hearing it from Buzz, and the fact that it wasn't allowed to be mentioned until now. Whats even crazier is that apparently nobody even cares. It was like "Hey look, a UFO... lets never speak of this again".

Just checked mine. It's saying 60c did go down to 59 but then back to 60. I've noticed in Call of Duty doors messing up. And i just tried Medal of Honor, in the training i seen one truck with messed up textures. So are these temps normal for video card? Or is it running hot? I've never really payed attention to the video card temps before. it's a Evga e-geforce 8800gt 512

Growing up I always heard bad things about them, but now I hear rumors they may be decent.
Background: My parents are looking for a 7 seater car (realistically, not with everyone squashed) and Nissan/Toyota are on the more expensive side.
Side Question: Is Toyota still the overall leader when it comes to reliability and repair costs?

No cameras allowed, which I thought was a little silly, until I saw it, in all it's glory...
A red ZR1, sitting just beyond final assembly in the testing area. We just walked right by it, it wasn't pointed out or anything. I stopped our tour guide, who said he doesn't officially show it or introduce it, since it's pre-production, and he doesn't know if he'll get in trouble to show it off at this point. We saw a couple yellow parts carts around (production carts are green) stamped "Prototype" loaded with carbon fiber parts, mostly roof panels.
So hot. Also cool was watching them fire it up on a rolling road (4 wheel, not really a dyno as it doesn't monitor power output). They pull it on the machine, a large TV drops in front of the windshield and tells them how to run through the test. You could see it monitoring how much fuel trims were being adjusted in closed loop, and a pass-fail for the car was given. Cool stuff.

If anyone wants to play, later tonight I'll be making a game named "shackhardcore" (pw: shack). Picking up where I left off last Thursday, I'm L21 and in Egypt. I have heard rumors of instadeath bosses starting around now, so things may be interesting.
hardcore challenge: much like hardcore mode in Diablo 2, I will delete this char and restart if I die. I have never played TQ before and this is my first char, a nature/hunter combo with pets and bow.
