Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Jul 23, 2009 6:00pm PDTWhat are you guys following at Comic-Con? I'm finding it hard to get excited about Avatar. Then again, I also don't want to hear much more about it, in the event that it turns out to be good.
Things I am also not excited about: Castlevania movie, Halo anime.
News:
- Left 4 Dead 2 gameplay video collection
- Halo anime announced at Comic-Con
- Battlefield 1943 breaks digital sales records
- New Rage teaser trailer debuts
- Plants vs. Zombies confirmed for XBLA
FileShack: Unity of Command, Skyjacker
Daily Filter: Planetside 2, Deadlight
Weekend PC digital deals: strategy-o-rama
38 Studios, Harry Potter Kinect - Shacknews Daily: May 25, 2012

Wireless Power
Great idea, but how do you bill it? If my neighbour gets wireless power, what stops me just shutting off mine and stealing his?

Back in the day, a system builder had to worry about the following things; do they still hold true now?
- Using all of the provided memory slots was a bad idea, because most consumer-grade motherboards would run into instability because the manufacturer cheaped out. In order to use all of the slots, you either had to scour the forums and check for experiences, or buy a server board
- The NVidia ATA / SATA drivers were not to be trusted due to some data loss problems or something. My current machine is running its system drive in IDE emulation (which means that I can't use NCQ, but it also holds the bonus of not needing a controller driver floppy for Windows XP setup), and the storage drive is on a 3ware 9650, which has very stable drivers (it better; the same adapter family is used in enterprise servers).
I have to read up on which videocard to buy, and deciding whether i want to do 2.5" SAS enterprise drives or something like the Intel X25-E for the system drive. I'll build this in parallel to my current system, and then transfer stuff over once it's working well.

They're on the last day of the FF marathon, raised over $42,000 with their new goal of $50,000. Right now NBC is sitting in their room filiming, and they already had CBS there a few days ago. Ends today at 6pm CST, so enjoy while you can!
Right now they're playing FFXI in a small box on the feed, and FFX in the larger portion of the feed.

Tips on how to not freak out while so many people are in my place with so little room and enough alcohol to get everyone trashed? That's not even all the booze that will be here, everyone was encouraged to bring their own, too.
Apparently they're also bringing over Rock Band 2, which should be fun. I plan on getting a noise violation and I have a balcony for people to puke off of. I think I'm set for at least a night in jail.

I am SockMonkeh, and I see in reply a whole army of shackers here in defiance of semi-clever scripting. You have come to vote as Shackers, and Shackers you are. What will you do without Shacknews? Will you vote? Vote and we may lose. Don't vote, and you'll still post here... at least for a while. But masturbating in your computer chairs a few days from now would you be willing to trade all the accelerated internet hours, from this day to that, to click the link and to tell JesseB that he may take first prize, but he will never take OUR FREE PORN!

"We’re going to do something unprecedented. It’s a social marketing experiment. We’re going to take over as many IMAX 3D theaters and other select 3D theaters worldwide on August 21 and we’re going to let an international global audience come see 15 minutes of Avatar for free. It’s going to be Avatar day."
