by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Mar 26, 2008 5:19am PDTShackers, allow me to direct you to: Shackers, Episode 3. Good to see the lads keep on trucking. Plus, this little tidbit is just fabulous. Do you think game developers are bothered that the largest dedicated gaming chain intentionally sabotages sales? GameStop certainly isn't hurting from it. Also, a question for the Vista users in the audience, what have your post SP1 experiences been like? I'd say about the same with less framerate bottoming out in my highly unscientific accounting.

Shacknews & sHugamom are pleased to invite you to be our guests at the Main Event, 2070 S. Stemmons Fwy, Lewisville, TX on Sunday, April 6th from 5:45 pm - 9:00 pm.
The reasons to celebrate? TWO!!!
1st: Steve's beloved Aimee is now his wife. If you haven't met her yet - look for the tiara or note that it's likely the lovely Steve is kissing.
2nd: Shackmeister Maarten Goldstein is visiting from his Netherlands home. Please show some HWM love too. Kissing is optional.
We've reserved (and paid for) an upgraded Adult Party package for 15 shackers ... and must confirm the total (up or down) by April 1st. Please sign up and re-confirm your participation via shackmessage to sHugamom NLT noon on April Fools day ... no foolin' please. :) We want to be sure all shackers are included who want to come eat & play.
What to do? We must BE INSIDE the Main Event at 5:45 pm on April 6th ... for each person to get their bowling shoes issued. You'll be there for the SHACKNEWS party.
We'll have some four or more lanes reserved.
They'll serve us unlimited pizza at the lanes from 6:15-7:15. We'll also get 1 soft drink per person & unlimited iced tea & water. [Beer & wine are available at your option, $1.75-$6.00]
Each person also gets one free hour of video games from 7:30-8:30 pm. They'll give you a card permitting access during that hour.
Next - at 8:30 pm ... everybody is invited to play an indoor game of "glow golf." The game is included in the upgraded party package we've reserved.
The winners and also-playing shackers will have their candid photos prominently displayed in all their glory on Shacknews and may be hoisted atop a human shack-pyramid just because.
Please come & join us - it's a happy occasion!

I'm pinging pretty good, in the 60s, and it happens on Dallas and #69. I haven't tried others yet. I thought it might be my roommate's crappy wifi card so I popped it out of his laptop, but no dice. I'm getting 54MBps to the router, and I can max out at almost 6Mbits when downloading from a good pipe.
What gives?

Basic Romanian AK. This thing will eat up the nastiest rounds you can throw at it. Much more ammo forgiving than my M17. Tossed on a weaver adapter and a cheap set of optics, thing is pretty accurate for only $60...and is holding up well to lotsa firing.
The stock wooden furniture was too short and tearing my arm up, so I replaced it with the Tapco Fusion T6 setup. Will test it out this weekend.
Yaaaaaay guns.

Spawn all of the fucking terrorists at the beginning of the fucking match please.
Thanks,
OverloadUT
So I played a lot of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 splitscreen terrorist hunt last night and this spawning bullshit is really getting to me. The worst spot we have seen so far is in the Convention Center level. There is a "theater" room where you can see through a window in to a little booth with two doors in it. There are two guys in that room (usually) but they don't spawn until one of the doors is open. You can walk up to the window and see the entire empty room. You can fire your gun and break the window. You can throw a goddamn grenade in the room and blow everything in there to bits. Then when you open the door OH HI TWO TERRORISTS YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT HIDING!
That's just one example; several times we have glanced in a room to see that it's empty, but as soon as you enter that room guys spawn behind cover. It's especially stupid because it means that you can't throw grenades in rooms before you actually go in to them, because the terrorists won't even be there.

Is anyone else getting the "service pack did not install - reverting changes" deal after 100% of step 3? I've been through all of the Technet stuff, and have tried via Windows Update & standalone installer. I don't have any of the problematic hardware (Realtek, Audigy, etc), and all other updates are current. I never did install the RC of SP1 on this system. I'm getting pissed, as this has taken way too long today.

Not mine, of course. But I found an old one in my work basement. It's got one controller, and a power cord. No AV cable, no VMU. But aside from a couple of worn stickers on the thing it seems to work fine.
I feel bad just letting it rot.

Is wiring in walls usually stapled or otherwise adhered to beams etc, or can replacement cable usually be pulled through?
I believe I've determined a certain length of wire in my house to be fucked, and will need to replace it. Fortunately this wire comes out the outside of the house right on the same wall where the breaker panel is located inside.
