Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jul 29, 2009 7:00am PDTWhile The Dark Knight and Watchmen are lauded by punch-happy moviegoers as the salvation of live-action comic book adaptations, one gem died a lonely death on ABC Family this year--The Middleman. Described by People as "A happy X-Files" and bubbling with luchadores, an evil Dr. Phil, zombie fish and the best parallel universe episode ever made, The Middleman was smart, funny, and sadly seen by no one.
Rejoice, sinners! For all twelve episodes were released this week on DVD, so you can now repent and atone for your past sins. I'll forgive you. This time.
The best comic book adaptation is of course Ghost World, by the way.

I've been interested to try out this site http://www.kickstarter.com/ for managing and organizing something like this. Are there are copyright/logo issues that shacknews would have?

Pay $150 for the printer, and when it runs out of ink you have to buy 4 different cartridges at ~$70 per cartridge? That can't be right.

If you could only keep one, the PS3 or the 360, which would it be and why?
I'm asking because my good internet buddy and lolfriend, Mr.SEX, is thinking of selling his 360 to get a PS3! While I want him to get a PS3 so we can play awesome games together (Wipeout HD, LBP, Fat Princess and Uncharted 2 soon!), I'm not sure selling the 360 is the way to go! Plus, I'm too busy to play any games online right now and have been for much too long (sorry haiku, dahanese and everyone that for some reason likes playing games with me! Civ Rev soon I hope!). But enough about me, let's help Mr.SEX with his Sophie's Choice situation here!

I thought they had forgotten about my signup, but I guess not! I am now a card-carrying member of the Miley Cyrus Fan Club. (I had to sign up to get first stab at the concert tickets. Can't wait for October 10th!)

They sent some pictures and a DVD that are all assuredly hand-signed by Miley herself, and not a laser printer somewhere in an office building. I'm gonna put this on my resume.

Taco Bell sampling new Chipotle Cheesesteak item, and were giving them away for anyone willing to fill out the survey afterwards. Pretty dang good, although I love cheesesteaks and Taco Bell - so I was a shoe-in. I would expect to to be on the menu soon.
Got two Taco Bell Bucks out of it too!

"First there was Elvis [Presley], then there was Michael, now in the 21st century it's Kanye's time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there's nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop."
Furthermore, Kanye reportedly has reached out to the Jackson family to obtain official permission to use the title but so far received no response from them. It is believed that the family is still mourning over Michael's death.

Me and a select group of friends are massive fans of Pandora Tomorrow (PC) Multiplayer. Its been a little gem for a while now that we bust out and play and have immense fun. (I'm talking of course about the Spy vs Mercenaries). Recently we were playing it and we sorta realised its quite buggy and that is holding it back quite alot.
I then found out that Chaos Theory and Double Agent have the same game mode which some how i didn't realise. And i was wondering if anybody was a fan of this game mode and had tried them all. From what i say in reviews, Chaos Theory is very similar to Pandora Tomorrow but Double Agent has changed quite a bit (they say for the worst).
Is Double Agent better than the previous ones, and if not is Chaos Theory better than Pandora tomorrow and does it fix alot of the bugs? Which is the definitive version?

Hacked by Chinese?
So I go to write an email this morning in my hotmail account, and I notice that for some reason, text is automatically inserted into the body of the email... text about buying TVs and Viagra and shit.
What?
So then I check my sent folder... and there's a bunch of sent emails from my account to random email accounts on the interwebs.
WHAT?
I leave my account open or something? Time for password change.
