by Chris Faylor, Feb 26, 2009 7:22am PSTThursday? Yeah, no problem. I can do Thursday.
Starting to get a bit excited about this weekend's Frisco/Dallas Shackmeet of laser tag, bowling, gelato and doom. Maarten and I are both flying in tomorrow afternoon, as to not miss a moment of the Saturday hijinks. It's my first Shackmeet. Please, be gentle.

WTF is with new Samsung monitors, or all of them for that matter, I checked out a few at Future Shopm today, and wow, flimsy as fucking shit. The build quality of these new monitors just suck, they look like they can't take much abuse, if any. The plastic bases are fucking paper thin .. I felt like the thing was going to break in my hands.
What do I do?? Good new monitor suggestions??? I'd love another 22" but, I can't even think of buying that crap.

The Ivory Mûmak, or Dave-A Done Received His WE 2008!
Well, he may be a little slow, but we still love him. Thanks for the goodies the archvile, you rock! Now get back to your scary throat-gargling, shooting flame, and raising the dead.
What did he send me? Well, thanks for asking! I will heretofore enumerate the contents of the box in a succinct and bullet-pointy fashion for you.
- A giant mousepad and matching LASER GAMING MOUSE!!! No idea if it works but I'm just going to assume it does and do a snoopy dance of joy.
- Some old games, including X2 and Blue Shift that I never played. Awesome disk-based media right here! Also some kind of wacky space exploration quiz card game.
- A Red Sox shirt!
- A patriotic, and possibly maverick, 4-in-1 remote control!
- A keyring thingie for a gonkdroidmobile!
- Some cool metal dice. I'm gonna trust you here the archvile and assume that you did not place them inside your or anything else's rectum before sending.
- Some random photos of some waterfront.
Giant bandwidth-raping pics here:

Thanks again The Archvile, you have come through after I'd given up hope. Thanks again to the wonderful sikander for the thankless task of organizing this wonderful bull-hockey for us.
xoxo,
dognoses can be seen in my pics

How many days will the campaign go on? if not brought to an end by playing the endgame mission?
also, the lack of proper ui for the previously undeployed squads in the final mission when co-oping at least = shit

Good news is it's Duke3D. Bad news is it won't run unless I right click and run as administrator. Seems weird because it runs through dosbox. Running Windows 7 Beta here. Hopefully Microsoft realizes the needs of it's customers and gives DUKE3D.EXE all the rights it wants.

That game kicked so much ass and I loved how you could take various paths through the missions (such as sending red shirts to their deaths or saving them).
If anyone is looking to pick up a copy, totally snag the CD-ROM version. Final mission is much better fleshed out and the voice acting is totally bitchin'.

Great article I just finished reading in the latest issue of Wired about the film and Director, Zack Snyder.
http://www.wired.com/entertainment/hollywood/magazine/17-03/ff_watchman
I only recently finished reading the graphic novel, which I enjoyed. It sounds like Snyder has done an amazing job with the film and I am already looking forward to seeing the Director's Cut.

also fuck the scout stun, its annoying as fuck especially right now with packs of scouts running around.
the upgrades are neat but not only do they really break the balance but they also completely alter the way people play scout. and not in a good way.
Is it worth getting sniper rifle skills up? Right now trying to shoot a sniper rifle is hard.

Freakazoid is still great though shame that it got canceled early
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freakazoid
Also, Freakazoid! ran into timeslot problems. Writer John McCann said that the timeslot of the series changed frequently: "They put it at eight o' clock in the morning, three-thirty in the afternoon, they shifted it all around; we couldn't even find it, and we wrote the thing".[4] The series ran on Kids' WB until November 16, 1996, when it was canceled due to poor ratings, airing only one complete season and part of a second season.[1] Rugg said the series' demise was the result of a combination of people not understanding the series, timeslot changes, appealing to the wrong demographics, and that "(...) there aren't a lot of Neilsen boxes in federal prisons. Had there been, I'm telling you, we'd still be on the air today".

"But I didn't like the movies" Answer: Yeah, well remember that series, Firefly? Remember how the geniuses at Fox thought "surely a movie will do and be better than the series!", yeah well they were wrong then as well. Go send e-mails and stuff to Fox, and lets get another actual season of Futurama back on the air!

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Harry has a final date with film destiny: Warner Bros. will open the eighth film in its Potter franchise -- "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" -- on July 15, 2011.
"Deathly Hallows: Part I" is set to unspool November 19, 2010. The studio decided to split the seventh and final book in the Potter series into two movies because of the tome's length.
Not to mention Half-Blood Prince coming out this July!
