wtf shack.
Faylor can't write a single paragraph for MD, search has been down for days, who actually owns shacknews now? I know gamefly does, but is there an individual within gamefly with even a hint of feeling of ownership that steve had? Who's the man who fucking flips out and makes shit happen, and gets stuff back into line? Maarten?

Or has gamefly given responsibility of shacknews to some cynical IT dude who doesn't give a shit and shacks all day.

WoW blog post:

So, last night five people from my guild (including myself and Diane) and five people from Team OFP managed to finally gain entry to the club of top WoW players as we killed Sapphirion and Kel'Thuzad and cleared Naxxramas.

Our two guilds decided to team up about a month ago in order to do raid content and we've been playing three days a week for about four hours working our way to the goal of completing Naxx. Everyone who played is pretty casual, and a lot of us had doubts that we had the skill for the harder battles. We spent weeks hammering out our strategies on the tougher fights like Heigan and the four horsemen. Finally, everything came together last week and we cleared the four quarters on Wednesday and Friday nights, leaving us last night for the toughest fights yet.

I'm not going to lie. We wiped a lot last night. Our tank spent about 100g in repair bills. The second to last time, we wiped on Kel'Thuzad when he was at less than 1% health. It just made us more determined than ever, and we knew that the next time, we'd have him. Healing on that fight was the most stressful and exciting moment in probably any videogame I've played, and it shows why the MMO experience can be worth the investment of time and patience, just for nights like those.

OK Toronto Homos,

Shackmeat is on Saturday. Right now we are planning dinner and drinks.

Need to narrow down between 2 options. I will finalize by ER tonight

Option 1:

Bistro 422 http://www.dine.to/bistro422
ryuuseki says dirt cheap beers and mixed drinks and possibly a patio. Weather for now is showing a high of 6 partly cloudy. P-Squid says that it is tiny and may get packed. I cannot find a menu online for dinner. This can be paired up with a restaurant or even with option 2.

Option 2:

Sneaky Dee's http://www.sneaky-dees.com/
Tex mex cuisine including veg options and I think they may still have cheap pitchers of certain brands (Cool?) We could eat here and go to Bistro 422 after or stay here.

College and Bathurst are the locations for both, lots of places to go in the area if anything falls through.

What say you guys?

p.s. while i have toronto's attention: anyone know anywhere to get an awesome haircut downtown that's also not a barber?

Hmmm, got an interview with a big publisher/developer. My dilemma is this. Do I stay with the start up that is pretty solid, but my future there isn't 100% yet. They have a small team right now (around 12 people) that may grow into 20 by the end of the year. I also have the potential to expand my skillset by doing modelling and scripting. Or do I go with the big, stable behemoth that I know will be a fair grind, but has a lot of people I like working with and a decent salary/benefit package? I know in this economy it's an embarrassment of riches to be in this position, but I am thinking long term.

Networking question:

Recently there have been a host of sites that I can't access. When I ping them off my laptop or desktop they come back with "No Route to Host" and if I try the web browser it's "Cannot connect to server".

BUT

When I ping the sites from my router they come back fine. So clearly something is up with my router but I can't find anything that would be causing this in any of the router's settings. I have a D-Link DIR-655 with firmware 1.21.

Anyone have any suggestions?
