Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Aug 06, 2008 3:55am PDTMorning folks. We've gotten confirmation on a ship date for the Warhammer MMO, it looks like September 18th you'll finally have a chance to do hacky-slashy things in an online fantasy world with your friends. Speaking of hacky-slashy, Nick has a piece on the brave, the bold, the hardcore who dare to plumb Diablo's dungeons. And the Wii? Complete, at least for Miyamoto's initial plans.

With smegmar's help yesterday (http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=17591704) I got the SSH server running at home. Also, here at the hotel, I can run all browser travel through it.
But how do I easily set it up for ALL internet traffic to go through the server? Like, games, ventrillo, MSN, etc.
Thanks!

Braid is awesome! Dload it now. I love the music / art direction, I just wish it wasn't $15. The wife may love it though, so I may pull the trigger on this one.

Last night I broke my hand during a particularly annoying game of Battlefield: Bad Company in which the enemy team was spawn camping and I died about 5 times in a row within 2 seconds of spawning, usually without even seeing my assailant.
In any case, I stood up tossed the controller, exclaimed how much bullshit this game is, and sat down while slamming my fist on my seemingly soft couch armrest... except it wasnt soft at all, and I immediately felt light-headed and nauseous. After a little passing out and vomiting, I called a friend to come drive me to urgent care, where they took some x-rays to confirm it's broken, then set me up with an arm splint and some vicodin, and now I have an appointment for Friday to get a cast for perhaps 6 weeks. I have a feeling I haven't yet discovered all the pains of being one-handed, and it really sucks that it's my right hand... gonna be learning some left-handed mouse technique pretty soon.

TOMORROW Thursday August 7th - 6pm Pacific Time
Attention all The Ship fans!
Attention all would-be fans that don't own it!
Next Thursday I will be hosting a Shackbattle for The Ship. The Ship is an amazing game if you can get a group of fun players together and play the real modes (not deathmatch like 90% of the servers are.) If you have never had the joy of playing with friends, you should definitely join us as it's a huge blast.
For people who don't own the game: Every person who owns the game should have a 3-day "guest pass" that will let you play for free. Post requests in this thread for guest passes and hopefully an owner will be able to send you theirs. Do it sooner rather than later so you have time to download the game! It's a Steam game.
As the time draws nearer, I will whip up a quick overview of the UI and how to play so new players are 100% welcome.
Feel free to reply if you think you'll be able to make it. I'm not taking signups or anything but it will be good to know what the interest is like.
GUEST PASS PEOPLE: It is now close enough to post time that you can activate your guest passes and check the game out.

Eurogamer review (warning the first few paragraphs may make you want to throw up, this one is from midway through the first page)
At this point, I suspect I'll have lost a lot of you. Understandably wary of artistic pretension in games, and heartily sick of videogame reviewers indulging their frustrated poetic tendencies, you'll see just another low-budget platform game lavished with praise by jaded critics just because of its indie roots. You'll see a clichéd story being praised for its emotional depth. You'll see the time manipulation being praised as an act of remarkable design innovation, and you'll scoff at how Blinx, Prince of Persia and TimeShift all did it first. On all fronts, you'll be wrong.
Score 10.

The headphones I ordered have a hole in the packaging and a hole in the bat the product came in, and the box is scuffed up and bent up.
