Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jun 05, 2008 3:24am PDTI'm glad to see everyone again and even more glad that it's Thursday. So here's a link to that Left4Dead preview I mentioned yesterday, and then we've got a fine collection of video's thank to Nick's latest Replay Couch.
One of the best things about the Shack, is the community around here and the relatively troll-free discussions we share. The lack of personal attacks and more is absolutely crucial to any significant critical discussion, be it on message boards or in real life. Thus I doubt I'm the only one who feels relief knowing that the man who has been trolling the entire video game industry, from creator to consumer, for over ten years has finally felt repercussions of his actions, as Jack Thompson has been recommended for Enhanced Disbarment by the Florida Bar.
My apologies for the heavy moment. Ahem. BABE HUNT (to fight cancer)!!

re: http://www.shacknews.com/shackmeet/events.x?id=4892
Next month I'm moving out of town so I really would like to have one more large gathering of the NY area shack collective before I leave NYC. Therefore, to evoke our my first major NYC shackmeet, I would like to have dinner and BYOB karaoke in Koreatown!
Sadly, I've been calling the karaoke place all week and when I finally get through (I think it is some dude's cell), he only has availability for June 14th. Therefore, here is the new plan:
Date: Saturday, June 14th 2008
Time: 6:30pm -ish
Preliminary Plan:
6:30pm - Meet at Kum Gang San, the traditional shackmeet Korean restaurant of choice for some delicious Korean BBQ (and hopefully lots of soju)

8:45pm - go to a deli and buy shitloads of alcohol
9pm to midnightish - iBop Karaoke - bring said alcoholic beverages into a private karaoke room and sing our hearts out!
http://www.yelp.com/biz/ibop-karaoke-new-york
I'm sorry to change things last minute. Try to RSVP via shackmeet.com or SM if you're still "definitely attending" so I can get an idea if the karaoke idea is still viable. I need about 9 people to make the minimum.

The bulk of this week's show is spent with Albert Reed, studio manager of
Massachusetts-based Demiurge Studios. Demiurge just shipped its PC version
of BioWare's acclaimed Mass Effect–and polished out the game's edges in the
process. Reed discusses his studio's formation and experience, and its plans
to launch its own original titles.
We wrap up the episode with Mark discussing GRID and Age of Conan–which
Elizabeth has not played, to her dismay–while Chris touches on a recent
visit to Valve, which saw the venerable developer make its case for the PC
platform.
