Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Apr 22, 2008 11:55pm PDTHowdy kids, how is that hump-day treating you? So for many Shackers, the big news yesterday was the announcement of QuakeCon 2008. I for one can only hope we're lucky enough to have another Mary Kay convention simultaneously at the hotel. Shackmeet?
In other news, Faylor interviewed Tanya Jessen from Epic, and managed to cover a pretty interesting array of topics. And today we have news of notable anti-game activist Jack Thompson, as always, keeping it classy.

Roberta Mancino was recently named the Hottest Woman in Sports ( http://www.mensfitness.com/advice/hot_women/127 )
Thanks in part to all of you shackers who voted for her to push her over the top.
You guys can go out and get the latest issue of mens fitness magazine, she is on the cover and has a article inside the magazine.
To show her great appreciation she has taken a picture of herself holding up the magazine with the shack on full blast in the background...im sure she will be checking up on this thread as well so be nice, show some respect to her.
im posting the actual link to the picture in the reply as it may be considered to some as NWS..
once again thank you shack..from myself..Roberta..and all of the other poor sports stars who got hosed by the power of the shack..

despite having all the really popular games like COD4, Halo 3, Rainbow Six, etc for my 360 the vast majority of my time on the 360 has been spent playing Virtua Tennis 3 and now Sega Superstars Tennis (lol). i love the fluidity of these games and the premium put on good movement thanks to them both using the virtua tennis engine, and the fact that matches are short so you can jump on for a few minutes or for hours. neither got great reviews (especially sega superstars tennis) but for me they are the console games i can't stop gravitating to.

For some reason, Mark kicks off this week’s month’s episode with a protracted story about his recent laser eye surgery. That strange escapade is followed by discussion of the recent Nintendo-dominated NPD sales figures for the US, the closure of long-time PC gaming mag Games for Windows (formerly Computer Gaming World), and the latest delay of PlayStation 3’s upcoming Home virtual world.
Chris reports on a recent Nintendo summit; Mark discusses God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP), Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword (NDS), and Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3); and Elizabeth has only been playing web games.

so it's been quite a while since i last shared some artwork with you guys. it's not so much that i've been holding back from the shack, but more because of the fact that i've been really busy and i usually end up eating and crashing right when i get home.
anyways, here's a wallpaper i made :]

I've turned in a couple papers for this one class that had a 3 page requirement. I've gotten a couple back as incomplete since it wasn't a full 3 pages. Mainly missing a paragraph or two length wise.
Going back and looking at them I discovered that Office 2007 is default at Times New Roman size 11 instead of size 12 because it's gay. Changing the size to 12 fixes all my space requirements without having to write anything.
Should I just change the size and be done with it or stretch the limits of my bullshit ability?

Does the size of sunglasses really matter? I've never really been a big sunglass person but I'm looking at picking up a nice pair now for the summer.
Looking at two different Prada models.
Model #1:

Lens of 65mm, Bridge of 15mm, and Temple 125mm
Model #2:
http://images.productserve.com/preview/234/13486271.jpg
57mm, 17mm, 140mm respectively...
Are the sizes all standard generally and one size fits all?

Is there a count-down clock anywhere on the web counting down to GTA 4 release @ 12:01am April 29th?

So yeah, am I the only one here who is immune to the GTA4 hype? I can't explain it. The GTA 3/Vice City/San Andreas city is probably my favorite videogame series of the last 10 years, topping Half-Life even. I played all of them through to entirety, and enjoyed almost every minute. The worlds that Rockstar creates are incredibly fun to explore and play in.
But now GTA4 comes. I want to be excited about it. The improved physics and graphics look amazing, yes. But beyond that, it just looks like more of the same. Part of me knows I'll enjoy it, but another part says, "Meh, it's just more of the same, albeit looking prettier." This isn't the revolution that GTA 3 was, it's just a refinement of the original, ground-breaking formula. Kind of like what Halo 3 is to Halo. Or what Mario Galaxy is to Mario 64. It's great in it's own way, but it's not "OMG this changes everything" great.
Is anybody else on board this crazy train? Also, what's going to be the next, "OMG this changes everything" game? I don't see anything like that in the works :(

Should I get the Elite package now and avoid this nonsense? Or just throw it all away and get a PS3? I do NOT want another 360 dying on me.
Hey .net3 dudes!
Can everyone go to the above page and bitch about the fact that there is no code. The entire tutorial becomes useless because they left the code out on the last step.
You know, important stuff like, communicating with WWF, persisting to database, sending information to and getting info from Workflows.
Goddamn WWF is badly documented.
WCF on the other, is awesome

my landlord just had my bathroom floor repaired. he bought the place a few yrs ago and never bothered to inspect our apartment. if he had he would of found out the shower unit we have was installed incorrectly and the water leaked rotting the floor and part of the wall.
here's the funny part. he did it along with another tenant, and apparently they didn't negotiate payment for him basically rebuilding the floor. without him it wouldn't of been possible. my landlord wants to pay him $60 total for the 36hrs he put into it.
haahahahahahahahahaha
tldr: my landlord is the cheapest man alive. he's also terrified of cats/dogs too.
