Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Aug 20, 2008 1:00am PDTLet's do a thing about a chatty. So PC gamers were nicely gifted with the latest update to Team Fortress 2 last night, and thus it's time to meet the... sandvich? And we say confirmation that Tyranid, a long fan favorite, would be the final race in Dawn of War 2. Of course fans of the Tau, Necron, Chaos, Imperial Guard and Teletubby armies will likely just have to wait for the inevitable expansions.
Music game fans can also breathe easily this holiday season, as now both Sony and Microsoft have seen the logic of not having to own a baker's dozen plastic guitars, promising that all music game controllers will play nice with the comparable competitor's music game. And notable is this lengthy interview with Bill Roper, wherein he goes into the hows and whys that Hellgate: London didn't come together and explains the Hanbitsoft drama.

So Omaha's classic video game quotes got me thinking about all the PC games I use to play when I was younger. I was a huge Sierra and Lucas arts adventure game fan. I don't think I played all the King's Quest, Space Quest and Police Quest games... but I know I played most of them. I loved Zac Mckracken, Maniac Mansion and Escape from Monkey Island. There was even some game about trolls or gremlins that was really bizarre that I liked.
But of all the adventure games I played Quest for Glory is on the top of my list, but not the first one (although I did enjoy that one) my favorite one was Shadows of Darkness. I never beat the game, but I played it over and over and over. I just loved the setting of that game, the art and the feel of the world.
This brings me to my point. As I was thinking about this game I googled some images of it and got all nostalgic over the locations in the game. It was like seeing photographs of places I use to go as a child and the people I use to meet. And then I realized, the majority of my memorable memories are from playing video games and that I spent a great deal of my child hood in front of a PC. When other kids played sports, or joined clubs, I sat at home and played PC games for hours on end.
Do you guys and girls ever get that, where you see a game from your child hood that consumed hours of your life and you get all nostalgic feeling and wish you could go back in time and play all over again? I know I do.

I use Zend. I love Zend.
On my laptop, I also use Spaces. I love Spaces.
But Zend doesn't seem to trigger Spaces to change vDesktops like every other program does. If I alt+tab over to Zend, it doesn't move over to the proper vDesktop so I have to F6 and do it manually. This is annoying. How can I fix this? :(

Is this a good deal for an 8gb microSD card? I've never had to buy any cards like this before, but now that I have a phone where I can actually use one I'm making the jump.

I played the demo and liked it but the negative reviews have me worried a bit. I'm still going to pick up my preorder (since I already put down the full price for it) and give it a try with an open mind.

I took a weight lifting class in college and to make an A a guy had to do 10 pullups, 20 dips, and 100 crunches. What was retarded was a girl only had to do 5 pullups, 10 dips, and 50 crunches to make an A. how the fuck is that fair?

- Sitting out sucks.
- Max of 8 players / team sucks.
Crits suck, but this is the Shack so I won't exactly make that a bullet point. Any other suggestions to move the gametype along?

(42:10 in, shane bettenhausen previewing)
- Calls it "maybe the best Castlevania ever" (better than SotN?)
- Mix of SotN & Simon's Quest?
- "the most RPG like" (cut off)
- Full equipment system from SotN & equipment matters
- Difficult, says "you will die a lot, you will die all the time"
- 16+ areas you can go back to and explore further
- Every area has "3 of 4 layers of things to find" by "unlocking new things and come back to find them"
- Plot involves around finding villagers who've been kidnapped, who in turn give additional subquests once rescued
- Graphics are better
- Bosses are super hard
- Glyph system involves picking up random ones and sucking in enemy and boss glyphs (for spells?) requires correct timing.
Pretty interesting, haven't heard much about this game yet, I was a bit letdown by Portrait of Ruin so I can't wait to check it out.

Has anyone heard or read anything from Valve about this problem? It is quite obvious that the hard lock sound loop sometimes memory error showing problem is related to the update.
For me it isn't just happening on the new maps either. I crashed like 5 times last night trying to play on Shackwest before I gave up.
