It's -6 with a -20 wind chill here and my car battery died in my '05 Mazda 3. Nothing like trying to use your portable charger only to find out that battery is too low to charge your car up to starting levels.
Stupid import cars with weak batteries.

some of us just started playing DotA for the first time. Robin Walker noticed me playing on Steam and asked if we'd like to play some night so I said sure. we played a couple games and got absolutely annihilated since we're completely new to it but it's awesome that a development company is a group of gamers that actually care about and play with their customers!

You can only post one! No ties or "several that are great", you only get one. And it has to be a post, not just a thread you like.
My favorite, by far, is the paper shredding post from ArB: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=17647194'
shit was inspired. I think it is actually the first time I have had a favorite post of the year!

So MY GIRLFRIEND bought a wii for some unknown reason. I've never seen her play a video game beyond some rock band or guitar hero at parties, but whatever. I'm looking for a game that she'll like and I won't hate that I can give her for christmas. I don't have a wii and know almost nothing about the wii games. She has the Wii fit already and while she does have fun playing rock band or guitar hero, i'm hoping to find something she'll enjoy more. A wii game for a non-gamer girl type. So shack, what wii game should I get her?

Right now I'm in a discussion with him on how blu-ray is eventually going to fail like hd-dvd did and the future with be VOD and other streaming HD sources. I can see how those streaming services will fill a small part of the need, I just don't see the physical disk going anywhere anytime soon, especially with bandwidth caps and people wanting true 1080p video. He's having no part of that though, sony is horrible, I'll never buy a sony product, blah blah no one is buying blu-ray(never mind dark knight has sold almost 2mil blu-ray copies so far) is all he can say. Very frustrating to say the least.
