Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, May 30, 2008 5:52am PDTLet's give a big cheer for Friday. Hooray! So we've taken a look at the new Tom Clancy's (TOM CLANCY'S) EndWar, check out Nick's preview of it if you're feeling that a voice command RTS may be in your future. And for those wondering about the future of Guitar Hero, well we were too and talked to Vicarious Visions about it. And Steam Cloud? That just sounds flat out awesome.

Demon's Souls servers extended again
The biggest fix I keep hearing about is critical miss. Exactly what is broken with this rule? What are other advantages of upgrading the core rules?

I imagine it's more than a simple ping operation, since I would want to query information for more than one Team Fortress 2 server or one server in particular... maybe query a master server to give me a list of servers running Team Fortress 2 or something like that.
How would go about getting the technical information I need for this sort of thing?

Seriously though, I know, fad, blah blah blah, etc, but who has it and is using it? How much have you used it so far? How many minutes in your fit bank? Are you still enjoying it?
I am still recovering from having been sick, so I only racked up 25 minutes for the bank thing yesterday and haven't done anything yet today (though I did just kick the cat off and start it up), so I haven't done most of the aerobic or strength training stuff yet - right now i'm just trying to wake myself up because i'm sleepy sleepy (combination nyquil hangover / slept too much / still feeling under the weather).

I don't know what people were expecting from it, it was a great thrill ride. I find the people saying "well i went in with no expectations but hated it" to be especially offensive. Really? You hated it that much, how is that possible, I can think of so many more movies that are worse. I thought it was great for an indiana jones movie and I honestly hope they make 3 more with Shia in them because he didn't do too bad either.
I would like to give a shout out to Voodooraze!
A few months ago our fellow Shacker sent out a distress signal: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16574728
How could I not offer my brother my spare 7900GS KO eVGA that was leftover after stepping up to a 8800GT!!! So, without hesitation I sent him the card. To which he declared,"YIPPEE!!"
Well he sent me a thank you gift. I got it a couple of weeks ago, but didn't want to put it up until I had done it justice. My friend, my Shacker, my lover of my soul sent me a paint that he made just for me! He named it "Screaming Peters", my mom affectionately calls it the "LARGE PENIS PAINTING"
So, for you all to enjoy here is a pic of my painting!

I would like to add, FUCK! It is expensive to get a free painting framed!

Not to cause a hubbub or anything, as this is a serious inquiry. I was thinking about picking one up today, but then I realized, unfortunately, MS4 isn't reason enough.
As far as I know, PSN really hasn't had much to celebrate and the majority of retail games are available for 360. So if anyone has any compelling points to picking a PS3 up, I'd love to hear it.

I just built a new system with an intel q9300 quad core CPU and 4 gigs of 800 mhz ram and an 8800 GT. Running 32 bit vista at the moment. Thinking about switching to Vista 64 after I make sure I'm not going to have driver issues. (The iphone is still a problem for Vista 64 for one thing.)
I'm upgrading from a p4 3.4 ghz w/ 2 gigs of ram. Obviously there is a performance increase, but not as big of one as I expected.
Is there something I need to be doing to make the most of my quad core? Does Vista handle balancing out the CPU's? Do I need to tell it to dedicate a CPU to hl2.exe when I play TF2 or <insert game .exe here>?
I've searched for some quad core tweak guides, but all I find are overclocking guides. I plan on overclocking here in a bit when I get a new chassis and power supply, so for now I'm sticking with the stock speed.
What say you shack?

Driving to Niagara Falls next weekend from NJ. Should I rent a compact or is the extra $100 for a Prius worth it? I want to save on gas for most part, plus I don't feel like driving my car for 400 miles (it's a stick and it gets like 15-20 miles a gallon).
