Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jul 02, 2008 10:18pm PDTWell aren't you just looking perky today. The least I can do is oblige you with a fresh chatty. So Soul Calibur 1 has been released for the 360, but has no mission mode? Isn't that like having an RV with the furniture all stripped out? And if you're a parent who lets children play online with no supervision, well oh noes. Another oh noes for Sony with the 2.40 firmware update for the PS3 bricking a notable number, hopefully they get that figured out right quick. Plus all this Diablo talk inspired Nick, and thus we have an appropriate Replay Couch for you. I mean, it's quicker than doing another Baal run, no?

I'm a big fan of Sci-fi, and recently decided to start up an online book club. for what I'm thinking, it would be accelerated, with a new book either weekly or Bi-weekly. What do you guys think? Is there any interest in this?
My basic Idea is that people can just hop into the discussion whenever... no need to "join" anything, no commitments, just laid back. The book is decided by vote, and will probably have a page limit of 500 or so. We would announce the book a week ahead of time, have the week to read it, then discuss.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, the forums I made are at www.characterhaven.com We only have 4 or five members so far, but I'm hoping to get more and start reading!
I know a lot of you guys read, so come on by!

Grid worked great, but I just finished formatting and now its the ONLY game that wont run! I restored it from backup (from steam backup). It loads the grid logo, and then says "this window was forced to close" and gives me the "do you want to send an error report" "don't send" option.
I'm re-downloading it thru steam now, but is there anything I can do if it doesn't work? how the fuck would it work... then... not, its not like my hardware is any different / same drivers / etc. I'm stumped :(

It looks absolutely awesome. I can't wait. I am almost (but not quite) as excited for this as I am for The Dark Knight.
It also has a lot of awesome commercials, featuring Chuck and one with the American Gladiators:

I've got a little boy coming in 9 weeks and I want to surprise the wife with a gamer toy (To remind her that it's a boy and so he'll be raised as a gamer, and to deal with it). I'm looking in particular for a plush XBOX 360 remote he can have in his crib but I'm open for anything else you guys can suggest! Pics of baby with toy to follow in 9 weeks!

I got a sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens for my canon rebel. The focusing seems a bit off though, but I don't know enough to know if it's me or the lens.
Are there any tests I can run it through to make sure that it's a good lens?
(I also got a canon 70-200 f/4 lens, but I think I'm going to go with the sigma and return the canon)

I'm thinking Discworld or Harry Potter. Mainly something avoiding Star War, something with zombies, or other almost guaranteed quick death situations.

Hey everyone, I've been working on an air combat game called Debris for past year or so and we just released 0.3beta. It took us a year to get to 0.3 working on it off an on but now we are getting our development cycle down so updates will be coming a lot faster.
So far it only offers 4 player split screen on one map. We have online play and persistent stats down the road for a later release
Come check it out and let me know what you think
