Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jun 19, 2008 6:20am PDTThe most co-op game ever? That's quite the statement, but what appears to be essentially team Ikaruga certainly doesn't sound bad. Also yesterday was Sony Ericsson's unveiling of their new Playstation-ish gaming phone. Seems to be quite the number of phone gaming platforms, eh? And it looks like Mass Effect has a bit more DRM than was first assumed. Plus I've brought you another Shack contest, this time for Kane's Wrath on the 360.

This is the best course of action for me right now and offers me the best chance of permanent remission with my leukemia. I already have a 10/10 perfect match unrelated donor, so that part is already done.
There's risk involved, but the risk would be even greater if we waited and the cancer came back again.
Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to it. It sounds crazy, but I always liked "testing" my body physically. I'm just trying to look at this as another test.
I'll have my computer in the hospital, so I'll be still be able to hit this place up. Speaking of which, while I don't post much anymore, I've been reading daily since as far back as quakeholio. I love you guys/gals and your banter has made this a little bit easier.

This thing has a ton of inputs: 4 HDMI, 2 component, 4 a/v. And it converts everything to HDMI for easy output to your TV. And it's $387 on Amazon. Awesome.
HOWEVER, it looks like the reciever actually only has what looks like 4 video selectors. And it seems like all of the HDMI/component/s-video inputs have the same names: DVD, VCR/DVR, Cable/Sat, and Game/TV.
Does anyone know if you're pretty much stuck with 4 components with this receiver? I have at least 5 components I would want to hook up to it.

Holy shit. Sorry if this is a repost, but people need to see this. TLDR - The 4850 offers slightly higher performance than the 9800 GTX, for $100 less, in a 1-slot, cooler, presumably lower power card.
I know I'm a geek for being excited about these things, but this is a giant push back from ATI/AMD. I'm no fanboy folks, but competition is always good for the consumer. For a ATI has been playing second fiddle at the high end, this changes everything. The 9800 GTX is a great card, but it's hard to ignore there's now a smaller, cooler card for $100 less, that's every bit as good.

I play a mix of RTS mainly and TF2, I prefer accuracy over speed (I have a retarded 1600dpi mouse atm, and the slightest twitch send it all over the show even at the lowest sensitivity settings). I'm right-handed so ambidextrous mice get no bonus points.
Note: I've never had a mouse with side buttons, so one which has side buttons that will fuck me over when i try to move the thing would be un-fun.
ok GO!

www.shackvideo.com now points over to the video section.
we'll break it out as a separate site pretty soon once we get a new logo made. the auto start is now turned off so you guys can deal i hope.
we are currently streaming video off of a fileshack box instead of the cdn but that will change in 2 weeks.
we'll clean up a few more obvious bugs but for under 2 weeks of development by just maarten and i we think it turned out alright.
please dont break it. :(

Have we cleared up who's bringing what? I can bring 2 360 controllers (I'll even clean them beforehand) and 2 extra sets of batteries (Probably not necessary)
Do we have a finalized list of who's going? I really don't want to go if Alexxxdude is going. That guy's a jerk.
Will you guys think I'm weird if I don't eat a lot? I'm going to need to be kind of drunk if we play rock band, since I've *gasp* never touched it before.
Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?

But that is inconsequential. The reason I write to you now, dear friends, is that something wonderful happened to me at this Starbucks in that most cosmopolitan of cities. I ordered my drink and, as is customary, the barista asked for my name so that it might be written upon the vessel of my beverage.
I told him and he looked at me with some confusion for a second before shouting something in Turkish to the fellow making the drinks. I don't speak Turkish so I had no idea what he said until I picked up the Frappuccino, my name written in bold ink across the side:

Post a song that you heard playing over a store's sound system that really clashed with the store's image, average customer, etc.
My example: The Bird and The Bee - Again & Again at a Lowe's. I like the song, but I was looking through the tools and did a double take when I heard it start.

EVERYONE has diablo 2. not many people play it. someone needs to give me their cdkey, at which point they will be given a cdkey back sometime this weekend. me and my boyfriend dr. flammable want to play, but, while he has the game, he does not have the case as it is at his brother's place. therefore, i need a cdkey so we can play now, and he can give you that other cdkey of his when he gets it from his brother relatively soon. you're not playing the game currently anyway and it will make no difference.
help shacknews.
