by Steve Gibson, Nov 19, 2008 6:00pm PSTSo I cough a lot of the time whenever I use Qtips. What the hell is wrong with that?

Lastly, the new Xbox dashboard isnt really as annoying as I was expecting. It is really
pretty much just a copy of the PlayStation crossbar and the Mii stuff but they did a good
job. The HD install stuff is absolutely great for speeding up load times and getting rid
of the annoying loud as all hell dvd drive spinning.
So, did Brick die for anyone else during the hotel escape? I just want to know if that was dynamic and not scripted like Theo's death. I'll quickload when I get home and try and save her ass if it's not required that she die.
By the way, Vault-Tec bobblehead FTW!
It looks amazing on my desk. I moved it from next to my PS3 downstairs to my PC upstairs where he smiles at me and tells me to touch his head.

So yesterday my Death Knight dinged 68 and hopped on the zeppelin to Northrend.
Wow that place is fucking awesome. I landed in Warsong Hold and immediately got thrown into the war.
What bugged me though, was the lack of ingame opening cinematics. Landing and picking up quests to get the idea is a bit.. well. meh. On top of that i think the Burean Tundra (or whatever it's called) is a bit too diverse. Insect war at the town, Kealt'has and its undead army, a fog thingy at the coast, fiery types in the mountains. It's a bit of a mess methinks. I like the one theme per zone way better (zangarmarsh being a good example).
Questrewards are awesome. Most of my L55 starterkit was replaced by big phat stats in about an hour. Including a killer blue 2h axe.

Looks like 360voice has gotten over their rough patch, we are also at 40 members in the shacknews group. We need more tho! We must surpass Giant Bomb's group because we all know our members are much cooler than theirs.

As far as the challenge, there is still no change in the top 3, other than Umbr and TwoGirlsOneApe pulling away from the rest of us ever so more.
It also looks like almost everyone has switched to an Avatar gamerpic now. Anyone figured out any cool tips for getting different poses?

For those of you who don't know, Stone Soup is a free Roguelike (aka turnbased 2d dungeon crawler). These are traditionally ASCII based which can make them a little tough to really get into, but someone's make a tile pack so that you're playing with graphics somewhere in the ultima 5 range of quality.

I'm still turned off by the cutesy avatar wii wannabe stuff. At least you can pretty much work around it with the old blade system. Menus are definitely faster.
