Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, May 05, 2009 7:00am PDTWith Plants vs. Zombies not unlocking on Steam for another four hours, I suppose we might as well do some video games in the meantime. Today at Shacknews I shall discover whether it's worse to babysit someone or to cover for them.
I suspect covering is worse. Sure, babysitting means I have to wipe their snotty noses and remind them to eat lunch, but when a new Katamari Damacy trailer arrives and glee fills their ruddy jam-smeared ruddy faces, oh it warms the cockles of my heart.

Hit level 10 with my brute and started a new clan. Added it up to full with non-Shackers accidentally so I purged it and inevitably accidentally expelled some Shackers that were in too. If so, just request your guy to join again. Only put one of your Brutes in the clan and reply to this thread with the guy you're requesting to join into the clan with so I can confirm the Brute is a Shacker.

So I've bitched about the game before, and even announced my ragequitting it entirely to the deafening silence of Shackers who (rightly) don't give a fuck, but the mere possibility of games like this one are why I couldn't resist reinstalling it.

razlebol, noobja (the file is already zipped+uploaded and I'm too lazy to rename it from his GfWL handle of n00bja), and I clawed and fought and scrabbled and persevered our way to a tough victory. Between us I think we dished out 4 Orbital Bombardments, and my terminator squad was just finishing their Cyclone missile launchers when the game ended; that gives you an idea of how long it took and how much death was being dealt. The 5% of games like this make up for the 95% in which I get reamed and have no idea where I went wrong.
I've watched it since I posted last night, and it amazes me that we won given how poorly I managed my units. At several points I have 4+ units sitting around not doing much because I was focused to tightly on microing my FC and ASMs. *bleh* If anyone watches this, I'd love some advice on how I could've gotten better use out of my Dread. It was worth building, but it got blowed the fuck up pretty easily by a swarm of Tyranids and Orks in only its 2nd or 3rd engagement. I suppose, given the fact that I was basically soloing it, I should have upgraded it to the Assault Cannon so that the 'Nids and Orks weren't getting free hits while it waddled up.

Can anyone suggest a point & shoot camera with HD video that is better than this?

And for those who might suggest them, I'd love a 5D MKII or a Red One but reality won't allow that kind of expense ;)

"Then he dumps the rotten wings into the water. Then he looks at me and he goes, "Here's the magic." He grabs a bottle of bleach from the supply closet, and he pours a cap full of it, and dumps that cap into the water, with the wings. Then he grabs a wooden spoon and he stirs the wings, like a witch stirring a secret spell. Then he looks at me and goes "The bleach kills the smell, and then the fryer kills everything else." Then he went to the front, battered, fried, and served those wings. "

I'd like to replace it. I've been running an E6750 at 3 Ghz stably for a while now. What's a good LGA775 board nowadays? It has to have decent onboard sound. Onboard video would be okay too, if I could just use it as an additional video port (can one do that, or will onboard video not play nice with my 4870 1GB?).
I'm guessing i7 is still too expensive for an upgrade. If I can get away with paying less than $100, that would be ideal.
