Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, May 22, 2009 6:30am PDTThe best part about Friday is that it provides temporarily relief from the "it's almost Friday!" mantra that Nick "I Wear Headphones Wrong" Breckon has recently adopted. Unfortunately, I fear he will counter with "it's almost Christmas" or "your birthday!"
Played a bit of Team Fortress 2 and that inFamous demo last night. I'm really digging TF2's new Pipeline map, and looking forward to details on this random unlock stuff.
As for inFamous, I don't know. Cole seemed to die far too easily on normal, those kamikaze bombers that can kill you instantly aren't doing the game any favors, and the demo missions didn't seem to be that far removed from those of other open-world games. Escort this, destroy that, guard the flashy thingie--you know the drill.
On the plus side, climbing buildings is rather satisfying (each one is like a platforming puzzle) and frequent checkpoints prevent too much post-death repetition. I'm not sure I'll rush to the store to pick it up next week, but I'll probably play the full game at some point.

I recently got a Zeno Clash Steam product activation key for free but don't have any interest in playing the game; the demo was enough for me.
So, if you want to try your luck in getting a free copy of Zeno Clash you'll need to reply with a post that has:
- A number between 1 and 50.
- Pic/pics of hot naked women.
I'll pm the winner.

Reviewers don't like either one, so no help their.
I can go see Museum with my little sister, she's 9 and wants me to go. I thought the first one was funny.
I can go see cool effects and robots blow things up with T4. Both are things I enjoy, but all signs point to Tranformers 2 doing that better anyway, and I certainly can't see it with my sister.
What would the shack do?

So I have like 6 hdmi cables, and all of them except for one do not work with my ps3 at 1080p. The ones that don’t work (five of them) display a picture, but there are lines going across the screen with pink and blue dots moving all over the place. I’ve tried hooking these up to my PS3 through my receiver, and directly to the TV, no luck. They all work at 720p and lower.
The one HDMI cable that DOES work is too short and has no markings on it whatsoever so I can’t tell what version it is – but it displays 1080p fine without any problems.
Today I went out and bought a new 15ft 1.3a hdmi cable, assuming it would work because it’s new and 1.3, but it doesn’t – exact same result as with those other 5 cables.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? I have no idea, anyone else ever hear of this?

I got to the final round of a G2 Championship and its me playing Gouken vs a Ryu player. I won the first round, he won the second round.
The third round was extremely close and in the end both of us have very little health and full ultra combo meters. I throw a horizontal fireball and ryu jumps over it, does a flying heavy kick and then immediately goes into the ultra combo animation.
Now he did this previously in round 2 and there is no time to block it when you are recovering from the heavy kick. Besides blocking wouldnt do any good since I have a sliver of health left. So I do the only thing any professional street fighter player would do. I mash buttons like a mad man.
And behold...soon as his Ultra Combo slowmotion animation ends (and just a moment before he releases his 8hit fireball of doom) my Gouken goes "Gotcha" ... BAM BAM BAM. GAME OVER MAN!
What an awesome finish :)

I need to inform you all that Dahanese and Mikecyb are amazing human beings, in case you were unaware!
I arrived home last night to find a package on my doorstep. I had just received all my new PC parts from Newegg the day before and wasn't expecting anything else. Closer inspection revealed that it was from 2K Games. Hmmm, what in the world could this be and who was it from?
I brought it inside and my wife and I gathered around the box as I slowly unpacked it. Low and behold, it was a care package from Dahanese and Mikecyb! It seems Mike (the sneaky bastard) bought RE4 from me to acquire my address!
You guys and gals will not believe all the cool loot they sent me! I will get pics in a bit and post them for you all to witness my new collection of games and goodies in all its glory.
Dahanese and Mikecyb - thank you both so much!
