Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Sep 26, 2008 6:56am PDTWelcome to Friday, my fellow Shackers. As the work week winds down and the weekend looms, I can't help but try to make some plans, which, of course, involve video games.
Problem is, I can't figure out what to play--there's simply too much. Wipeout HD is rather pretty, but I've never actually beat Duke Nukem 3D. And LEGO Batman sports some great humor and tons of awesome Batman references, but do I really want it to end?
Toss in all of the good television shows, movies, and music that the season has delivered, and it's a recipe for disaster. With all this, just how am I supposed to relax?

So please post in blue: old (2000 newest) game you still have installed and/or play at least 2 consecutive hours off once a year (or so).
And in red: old game you used to love but can't be bothered to fire up anymore due to graphics/old and busted gameplay/ancient UI/too hardcore/whatever.
I'll start.
Deus Ex <3 | Fallout :( too hardcore, I don't have the patience for save/reload gameplay anymore

I think I may have just had my first imaginary girlfriend experience.
But this thread isn't about that, it's about Pinkberry. Is it cool or is it wack? There's one like 3 blocks from work so I am wondering if it's worth trying out. Yay or nay?
Finally, NYC is awesome, if only for food. Anytime I'm craving something, I just type it into my iphone and more often than not it's within an 8 block radius. I cannot wait to permanently live here.

I usually don't like "sweet" beers, but this beer is awesome. It is sweet like an apple is, so it doesn't come off annoying. If drinking beer could be compared to sex, this one might be like licking honey off of Keira Knightley.
What are you drinking tonight?

Lets say I have two cells with numbers and also X amount of cells in between:
10
.
. [unknown # of cells]
.
0
I want to fill the unknown # of cells with numbers that will ratchet down wrong word but hopefully you get my drift so that it will be even. any formula to do this?
ie: 10,5,0 (1 empty cell) or 10,8,6,4,2,0 (4 empty cells)

Does the game still have the exploit from the original game where the King's troops only land next to port cities and receive negative bonuses from hills and woods? The original was really really easy if you only built 1 port city and had it surrounded by woods and/or hills.
I want the game, but I don't want to know how to beat it already (I'm looking at you Medieval 2: Total War).

....yea or nay?
I just had this bizarre urge to get a piercing today after class. There's a pretty high-class place down the street for me so I went in there, asked all these questions and got a bunch of literature. Part of me wanted to get it done right there and then, but I've decided to wait another few months until it's a full year since my cancer surgery.

My bro is one of the best footbag freestylists in North America, and is one of, if not THE most well known footbag videographer in the world. He recently was in Prague for the World Championships and had random Japanese fans coming up to say how much they love his stuff.
Anyways, here's one of his new videos, made when he was in Europe this summer:

halp computar. our dba left for the day so i have to try to figure this out on my own real quick.
is there an easy way to "export" a table including all of the data into a SQL script? i'm making a lot of manual changes to the data in a table, but i need a script of the changes made and i'd rather not have 10 different .sql files full of updates, so i just want to create a script that blows the whole table away and inserts all of the records again with my "new data".
for the life of me i can't find out a way to do this.

Anyway, I shit you not, I saw Battlefield 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2 selling for the Playstation 2 there yesterday. They had a whole testicle load of them, for 19.99 if I recall. The weird thing is, the back of the box was HEAVILY touting the online capabilities of it.
For the PS2.
Battlefield 2.
What.
Wikipedia doesn't even seem to say anything about it!

But, digsby released a new build today which uses ~75% less memory.

They really should release a guide or readme for every game on steam to say how to do this. Instead it is left up to the mod developers to tell you.
