Morning Discussion

Here's a fresh chatty for Tuesday. No time for small talk, I've got news to write!

(Just figured you'd rather read about the Fallout 3 DLC and mod kit instead of my rambling, which would have probably been about how silly Heroes has become. Or the first season of Friday Night Lights. Man, that show surprised me. Thanks Netflix!)

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

      I do believe they have announced registration. I haven't seen anything besides that.

      Oh wtf...how is it possible that I missed every signup reminder thread. Oh well...If the matchups havent been done yet, or if someone is the odd one out, add me in

        I swear that the signup was like a secret this year or something. I asked more than once if it was happening before someone was kind enough to show me how to sign up. I just barely missed the dead line :-(

        needs moar advertising :-/

            Granted for the past couple of weeks i've been swamped at work so i havent been hitting as regularly as i used to but this year i swear i saw almost nothing about it other than a few people mentioning it in passing. I never saw any post that said WE Starting now.

            Oh well. I got stuff that needs a home!

          According to the average Shack movie taste I definitively like B grade movies. :|

            I don't know what it is with The Shack and liking movies that suck, Shackers are so awesome otherwise. I guess that's its Persian flaw :/

          Nothing wrong with a B movie.

          While not B, I think I have another Bruce Lee Movie around here. It's yours if I get you. =D

        suggestion : make the postcount ranges for matching fairly broad, or we'll be able to look at the list, see who's right next to us in terms of postcount, and know who got us

        • reply
          November 25, 2008 8:50 AM

          suggestion: shut the fuck up! i want PapaBoo!

          November 25, 2008 9:01 AM

          Like feek and I suggested before, make it post count over time instead of just post count since some of us haven't been here forever.

        • reply
          November 25, 2008 9:36 AM

          There was no real correlation between post count and having sent/received a white elephant. At all. Not in the past three years it's been going on.

            November 25, 2008 9:39 AM

            indeed. some of the chattiest bitches here didn't send stuff

          • reply
            November 25, 2008 9:42 AM

            Well, we already know that is the first separation as people who didn't send last year will be matched up with others who didn't send. The post count part is the second separation.

        you better not screw me over this year with some 2nd rate jack ass lurker like you did last year >:(

        i'm still a bit bitter about that.

          As a second rate jack ass lurker I'm offended. I have a pile of cool shit ready to go already. :(

            November 25, 2008 10:03 AM

            the second rate jack ass lurker i got last year was a complete and utter douche that didn't deserve jack shit. so i sent him a box of maybe 5 or 6 crappy things i had laying around my apartment and a note telling him to stop being a fuck wad. i don't think he's posted since.

      Just a tip to those taking part, put a small description of what systems you have and what your into in your shack profile.

      I think pairings should be done by shack registration date, old schoolers are paired with old schoolers and newbie registers are paired with newbies. And if you changed your account name give your old one or too bad :P
