Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Apr 25, 2008 6:28am PDTWelcome to your Friday Shacking installment, with a chatty prepared especially for you. In an interesting piece about developers, one analyst proposed that some game designers be treated more like rock stars. I think the notion should probably be taken with a grain of salt, lest we all be made someone's bitch again. Your thoughts?
It looks like one way to escape the "Madden Curse" is to use an athlete who isn't actively playing anymore. Clever move EA, clever. And, in something a bit off topic Shack writer Chris Faylor would like you vote for his brother. At least we know who to blame for hogging the funny genes.

Very very interesting. I'm playing through SSBB and I'm only using the GCN controller for it now. Using the wii mote just wasn't working very well for me.
I picked up a replacement HD cable pack today. This one also shows me no red light when plugged in and gives me no data on the receiver (obviously). Strangely enough when I unplug the cable and it is about half way out, the optical port will flash ever so slightly.
I'm going to try it again with HDMI later tonight but fuck. What a piece of shit.

I'm looking for something that will give a few audio inputs/outputs (amplified). USB or Firewire preferably. Should support ASIO 2.0.
I want to be able to use it with FL Studio to record guitar piped through a VST virtual amp, as well as microphone recording. I'm pretty much an audio noob, so I'm looking for suggestions. Price range is sub $200 preferably.
This looks like kind of what I'm after: http://www.audiotrak.net/products/maya44usb/

Pizza may have been invented in Italy, but it was perfected in New York City. And wheneverI go home to visit, I return with a sizable doggy bag from Arturo's in Greenwich Village. That's because the pizza in San Francisco sucks: flaccid crust baked in positive energy, its cheese and tomato sauce buried under bushels of organic artichokes and salad greens. Even when you can track down an unadorned pie — the pure, ideal form — it just doesn't taste right.

So this weekend is the 3rd Birthday for Guild Wars, and I know there was a lot of fall off of players from the first campaign. If you haven't logged in a long while you may find some Birthday presents in your various characters inventory.
This weekend they've added new end-game weapon rewards, for the first chapter, Prophecies as well as a variety of mini games from the past celebrations, like the Dragon Arena, a true rock paper scissors dodgeball style game, as well as Rollerbeetle Racing, an obvious homage to Mario Kart games. People who have Factions have access to the Boardwalk as well.
The end game content is here to stay and you can check out the new weapon skins here

this should allegedly detect your connection speed. you can skip ahead and move around anywhere you want on the video. No waiting for the full thing to download.
how does this look? a little concerned about possible framerate issues on slower machines. this is a 5mbit 1280x720 HD source.
