1So it was quite the busy day, with PS3 firmware being made available again, BioWare talked about how they handle piracy, Google brought out a virtual world system and Microsoft announced the winners of it's environmentally oriented game development competition. Of course E3 is impending, so how about a pre-show guide, thanks to Nick.
So picnip and I stocked the guild bank last night, depending if any of my resources sold we should have enough for the next three buildings. If any wants to come back to start doing some guild on guild wars this would be a good time.

From what I hear, the F1 series is very fast for a 7200 RPM drive. I'm sure the VelociRaptor is very, very, fast, though. That speed is enticing, but at the end of the day, I just want TF2 to take less than 2 minutes to load.
Anyone have any experiences with these drives?

I bought a sweet new 15" Macbook Pro over the long weekend, and it's pretty sweet. But, I'm seeing this weird flicker artifact on certain animations. Here's a video I made with iMovie demonstrating!

Yanks vs. Rays
Sox vs. Twins
Florida vs. San Diego
I think the AL East is going to come down to a dogfight in September to decide the Champion and Wild Card slot. I don't think any of the top three teams will run away with it. Sox fans are convinced that the Rays will collapse and the lead is theirs to take, but the Yanks will probably add talent at the trade deadline and will stay in contention. The Rays cannot be counted out as they've managed to find a way to win all season.

Yesterday I received a package that contained my online moniker from Felicia: http://www.nflight.com/files/shack/feliciaisawesome01.jpg
In the box were two packages, nicely wrapped: http://www.nflight.com/files/shack/feliciaisawesome02.jpg
It was Hotel Dusk and Professor Layton: http://www.nflight.com/files/shack/feliciaisawesome03.jpg ! How awesome is that!
Flashbang Fatbottom is also curious about the brainteasers: http://www.nflight.com/files/shack/feliciaisawesome04.jpg .
I'd been eying Professor Layton and waiting for it to do down in price, but felicia saw a post of mine about it and send it my way for free, along with Hotel Dusk, which was another game I'd been looking at. What a sweetie!

Crunch time! The season is almost over, after today will be just two games until the playoffs.
The Seattle Grand Cru win by 1 point today. They are now in 8th place in their conference. Game: http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=47096&mode=pbp&hide=1
Dallas Lampshades game is in about 2 hours. Two 9-4 teams fighting for a playoff spot. I guess we might be in the playoffs no matter what, but it'd still be nice to win.
Austin Cyber-Demons are also fighting for a playoff spot. A lot of people are rooting for them, too, because everyone hates their opponent, heh. http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=559299
Good luck!

I think we have 5-6 teams ready to roll, but I'd like 8 so here we go.
Game Time: Saturday (July 12) at 4 CST (2 PST, 5 EST).
Format: 8-team double-elimination bracket, using byes if necessary. I'm hoping we can get a full bracket. That means 6 rounds of up to four concurrent matches. I don't know if I'll be able to get four servers for this, but I should be able to get three. If that's the case, we'll split the first two rounds into three. Three servers will be enough after that.
Matches: 20 minute games (possibly with a cap limit), 3v3, soldiers only, every 30 minutes. Servers will be pre-configured and I will come up with some sort of fallback if they do blow up for some reason. I'm trying to keep this as short and sweet as possible. Expect a 4-hour commitment with inevitable overhead. It'll be awesome, though.
How to participate: Just get a team together and post who is going to be in it, so I can have a roster of sorts. If there are teamless players that still want to play, I can put you into a team. Full teams will get priority, so it's in your best interest to get together and declare a team in this thread or future ones so I can keep track. If you haven't already, please confirm your team's participation with me.
And that's it. This should be a lot of fun and I hope it works out so I can do it again. Please direct all questions/comments/suggestions to File 13.

Thread Watcher v1.0
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shack_thread_watcher.user.js
Today I come to you with yet another offering to help get the most out of your Shack Experience(tm).
Have you ever refreshed the entire chatty when really all you want to do is see if your thread has any more replies? Have you ever put your thread in a separate tab so you can easily refresh it often to check for replies? Do you click the refresh icon on interesting threads about 30 times per minute because you are eager to see new posts?
If you answered "Yes!!!" to any of the above, this script is for you*!! This script allows you to "watch" a thread in a separate tab, meaning that it will automatically refresh every 60 seconds and update the title of the tab when there are new posts. When you open a single thread in a new tab, the root post will have a nifty yellow refresh icon:
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shackthreadwatcher/watchericon.png
Whoa cool!
If you click that icon, it will start spinning around! Awesome! The title of the page will change to show a "summary" of the thread you are watching (the first few words of the root post.) Every 60 seconds while the Thread Watcher is on, the thread will automagically refresh. If there are any new posts, the title of the page will change to indicate how many new posts have been made since you last checked. Observe:
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shackthreadwatcher/threadtitles.png
Amazing!
As soon as you click on any post in the thread to read, the count will reset to zero.
Known Bug:
x If you reply to the thread, the watcher icon will disappear. You will not be able to turn the watcher on or off until you F5 the page. This will not be fixed.
Install it here!

* This script is not really for you. It's for me but you can pretend it is for you if that makes you feel special.!

Let's use this thread to organize games. If you are interested in starting up a game, make a reply to this thread, and then people that are interested in joining that game reply to that post.
It only supports 4 player games, so if there are already 3 replies to a game, start a new subthread inviting people to join your game. :D

from the report:
The game contains the option to take a variety of "chems" using a device which is connected to the character's arm. Upon selection of the device a menu selection screen is displayed. Upon this screen is a list of "chems" that the player can take, by means of selection. These "chems" have positive effects and some negitave effects (lowering of intelligence, or the character may become addicted to the "chem"). The positive effects include increase in strength, stamina, resistance to damage, agility and hit points.
Corresponding with the list of various "chems" are small visual representation of the drugs, these include syringes, tablets, pill bottles, a crack-type pipe and blister packs. In the Board's view these realistic visual representations of drugs and their delivery method bring the "science-fiction" drugs in line with "real-world" drugs.

some of you aussies may have heard of a band called COG ( http://cog.com.au/ ), but many of you yanks/brits/canucks/others may not have... so here i am to tell you to go listen to them if you're into some good hard rock without shitty metal vocals.
they've got a new album out called Sharing Space which just has awesome songs all round. you can listen to a few here: http://www.myspace.com/cogrockmusic
you have to excuse their sometimes trite and contrived lyrics (with little subtlety), but the music definitely makes up for that shortfall.
I know you can add command variables to .exe files when your right click<properties and look in the target field. What I'm wondering though, is it possible to add a command there that will also launch a .bat batch file while also executing the .exe file.
Anyone?
