Evening Reading
by Aaron Linde, Aug 06, 2008 6:55pm PDTSteve has once again high-tailed it to parts unknown, this time taking the rest of the Shack Staff with him. As they left, Faylor tossed me a brochure for some exotic island destination with the words "back whenever we feel like it, loser" scrawled on it in crayon.

Thoughts? WIll it be awesome like Sydney, or a clusterfuck like Athens? Predictions, anyone?
I predict the sport itself is going to take a backseat to all the campaigning and OMGCOMMUNIST stuff. Also, smog. A shame but I'd like to be proven wrong.

So I play this game Utopia, and I have been for years. Every so often, they reset the servers and everyone starts over. I need to rename my province. Anyone got any good ideas?

I'm sure it's an easy fix but the shack is the most practical way for me to solve it now... help?
I just completed a silly, simple game that was among the earliest 3D games made for home video game systems, D. This Japanese title, created originally for the 3DO, was titled D's Dinner Table in Japan. As turdtastically simple as this game was I loved it in its day (1994? 1995?), it spanned THREE full CDs that you had to swap out during play and gave you three hours to complete a puzzle world in a Myst-like environment. The twist was that it had a really sick horror element to the story, and was largely cinematic in its presentation. In fact, I am wondering if this game is actually really nothing more than a series of FMV just due to all of it being on three damn discs. I just went through the whole thing again in less than an hour, and it really took me back.
I should dig around for more old stuff soon, I enjoyed the hell out of that.

I've seen far better CG in low grade video game cut scenes. How can, after all these years, the bugs look far worse than the bugs in the first movie? They didn't even try lol.

the BEST present I ever received was for my 22nd birthday, I got a Celeron 300A chip, from malaysia. my girlfriend at the time knew i was researching them pretty solidly, but i was so surprised to get it, and it was such an awesome chip.
2nd best preset was for my engagement party, *(we)* got a four burner barbeque. I use it every week, it makes fucking awesome beef, kangaroo, lamb and chicken! so awesome.

Cliffhanger, opening scene.
Watch Frank, the old guy, holding the cable around the 8 minute mark. I never, ever, ever noticed this in maybe the four or five times I've seen this flick.
Also, dognose, I hope you've seen this. Solid action flick.
